Philip Klinkner, the James S. Sherman Associate Professor of Government and Associate Dean of Students, was interviewed for a Christian Science Monitor article titled "After South Carolina: Can Obama capture a wider swath of voters? "(1/28/08). Klinkner was among experts providing analysis of what Sen. Barack Obama needs to do to be successful on Super Tuesday, when 22 states vote for a Democratic presidential candidate. According to the article "'He needs to run better among older voters, more blue-collar and middle-class voters, and more downscale white voters,'" says Philip Klinkner, a government professor at Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y. 'That's where he's losing.'"
