Only the most jaded observer could resist the combination of Dick Murray and Max Beauregard dis­secting the dynamics of a presidential election and spelling out what the results tell us about the future of national, state, and local politics. Beauregard will spend half an hour showing us how who voted locally, using slides to display small area patterns. Murray, an election night analyst familiar to generations of Houston TV viewers as an expert commentator who always knows what’s going on and why, will spend an hour rang­ing through key elections in Houston and across the country.

Local elections included Skelly vs. Culberson in District 7 and Lampson vs. Olson in District 22. In Harris County, we had Lykos vs. Bradford.

In North Carolina, Obama squeaked past McCain and Hagan edged out Dole.

If you’re curious about how such events came about and what they portend, come and hear these two renowned experts explain how things turned out—and why.
