Philip Klinkner, the James S. Sherman Associate Professor of Government and Associate Dean of Students, was interviewed for a live broadcast on WHRO's public radio show "HearSay" on March 5. The program, titled "From the headlines -- Field of Dreams?," addressed the diversity within the presidential field. Klinkner discussed Barack Obama's chances for success in the race and the evolving opportunities for African-Americans in U.S. politics. WHRO is located in Norfalk, Va.
An Associated Press article in which Klinkner was quoted, "Civil Rights -- Who might be next atop the NAACP?," appeared on the wire on March 9. Earlier this year, a study published by Klinkner was referenced in a Washington Times editorial, "Is GOP a regional party?; Trends and facts for 2008 and beyond." Klinkner's research demonstrated that regional shifts in the partisan distribution of congressional seats have been dramatic.
