Contemporary Questions in Politics 2.1.m2p

Has partisan politics really changed in the last few years, or even months?  Are attack ads essential to winning an election?  Will re-districting change the face of Ohio and national races? Is it time to reexamine term limits?  Joking aside (Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, wink, wink, nod, nod) how are "SuperPacs" influencing or coordinating the political machinations of candidates?   The Columbus Metropolitan Club's February 1 forum, "Contemporary Questions in Politics" will examine hot topics of the current political scene.  

Moderating the discussion will be OSU professor emeritus and go-to politico, Herb Asher.  As a political science professor at OSU, Asher can dissect the political landscape to reveal trends, influences and directions to watch.  His concise explanations for complicated politics have earned him respect as someone to call upon to speak to both political junkies and less passionate voters.
