October 5 Herding Donkeys: Howard Dean and Ari Berman on the Future of the Democratic Party
It's Super Tuesday at 92Y Tribeca! With the midterm elections exactly a month away, Nation Institute Fellow Ari Berman talks about his new book, Herding Donkeys: The Fight to Rebuild the Democratic Party and Reshape American Politics, with former Governor of Vermont, Howard Dean.
Herding Donkeys tells the inside story of Dean's visionary yet controversial 50-state strategy, charts his unpredictable journey from an insurgent presidential candidate in 2004 to the chairman and conscience of the Democratic Party and shows how President Obama's campaign—particularly its groundbreaking embrace of grassroots organizing and activism—built upon Dean's blueprint. Sure to be a fascinating and timely conversation, Dean and Berman will shed light on the upcoming November elections and the possibility and peril of this new era in American politics.
