THE “ELEPHANT” IN THE ROOM THAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT
Dr. Robb McDaniel Analyzes the Republicans’ Future on “MTSU on the Record”
(MURFREESBORO) - U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania is now a Democrat. Most respondents in a recent poll see Rush Limbaugh as the voice of the Republican Party. If it isn’t Limbaugh, is it Sarah Palin? Mitt Romney? Newt Gingrich? Can the minority party regain its footing in time for the 2010 Congressional elections? Should Republicans emphasize the conservative values of their base or attempt to expand the base by moderating their positions?
Dr. Robb McDaniel, associate professor of political science, will discuss the search for leadership and direction in the GOP on “MTSU on the Record” with host Gina Logue at 7 a.m. this Sunday, June 14, on WMOT-FM (89.5 and wmot.org).
