The Leonard Lopate Show
How Globalization Has Changed Politics
Globalization may have transformed politics. The usual domestic issues at stake in the 2008 elections (e.g, the economy and health care) are now global issues, according to journalist Garrett M. Graff. His new book is The First Campaign: Globalization, the Web, and the Race for the White House.
Event: Garrett Graff will be speaking and signing books
Thursday, December 6 at 5:30 pm
Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs
170 East 64th Street (between Lexington and 3rd Avenues)
To RSVP, e-mail jmyers@cceia.org
The First Campaign is available for purchase at amazon.com
The you tube debate was foolish...politics doesn't have to be serious?...guy how could it be any MORE serious...the questions they asked were letting the average Joe get his 15 minutes of fame. I'm an animator and love when I see differnt uses of animation, but the snowman was foolish and it was beneath a presidential debate. The questions people posted were of the lowest level...holding up the bible and saying do u believe wahts in this book crap...1st if they said "yes" (and some did, they shoulda stopped the "debate" and gone to reruns of the 3 stooges, cause that is scary
Joe, you make some good points and I generally agree. The media has turned the debates into the latest reality show... only reality shows have never actually been real. It's about sensationalism, gotcha moments, catfights and all the great, juicy crap we expect to see on The Real World.
A snowman? just what americans need more of -- to be "entertained".
A text message on your phone to "remind" you to vote? This guy is one who thinks technology and gadgets are solve everything, the way they do on Star Trek.
I guess that was the problem during the last two elections -- not enough people could remember there was a presidential election going on.
