Summary

On November 4, 2008, Americans will choose their forty-fourth president. The wide-open primaries and presidential campaign have thus far revolved around two of the most historically contentious issues in U.S. politics: race and the use of American power abroad. Is America ready to elect a black president? Or, for that matter, a woman? How will both parties re-imagine America's role in the world in the aftermath of the botched occupation of Iraq? And what are the implications for Canada of a Democratic or Republican victory? The Grano Speakers Series has invited Camille Paglia, Shelby Steele, James Carville, and David Gergen to debate these issues and other in the 2007-8 series. The Race to the White House offers a written record of the talks they gave, completed with the spirited, probing question and answer periods that followed.
