Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½

The longest Presidential campaign in American history has finally come to an
end. To sift over the historic results, the Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½ Foundation is bringing
together its best political thinkers to discuss what happened on Election Day
and why:

• How did Barack Obama’s rise from Illinois State Senate to
  the nation’s highest office is just four short years?
• Does his
  victory presage a political realignment in America and a
  new era of Democratic dominance?
• How has the 2008 election changed
  the way all campaigns will be conducted in the future?
• What is the future of the Republican
  Party and how can the party reassert itself after back-to-back electoral
  drubbings?
