Dear Colleagues:<\/p>\n

It appears that this past Friday\u2019s (Sept 2) discussion of Judge Roberts\u2019 nomination may have been even more relevant than we hoped. I\u2019m sure this week\u2019s speakers hope that this week\u2019s Friday Public Affairs Lunch discussion remains timely for a while.<\/p>\n

On this Friday, Sept 9,\u00a0J. David Levey<\/strong>, a journalist and consultant, will be joined by\u00a0Rob Frost, Chairman of the Republican Party of Cuyahoga County<\/strong>, to lead discussion on\u00a0\u201cWhy Do the Republicans Keep Winning in Ohio?\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0Preparations for the 2006 elections have already begun, and by many standards one would expect the incumbent party to be in trouble. Yet Republican strength seemed to solidify through the 2004 election even as Ohio struggled economically. What factors of beliefs, demographics, organization or other matters explain GOP strength, and can it continue in 2006?<\/p>\n

As usual, we will meet in the\u00a0Toepfer Room<\/strong>\u00a0of\u00a0Adelbert Hall<\/strong>\u00a0from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.<\/strong>. The lunch is brown bag, but refreshments and cookies are kindly provided by the Office of University Marketing and Communications. We look forward to a very lively discussion.<\/p>\n

All the best,
