Keynote Speaker
Charlie Cook, nBc news and National Journal Political Analyst; editor and Publisher, The Cook Political Report
When charlie cook talks about the political scene in America, people in the know listen. For more than two decades he has been Washington’s most trusted—and most accurate—voice on all things political. The New York Times has called cook “one of the best political handicappers in the nation”; Bob Schieffer of cBS news calls The Cook Political Report “the bible of the political community”; and david Broder of The Washington Post says cook is “perhaps the best nonpartisan tracker of congressional races.” In an election year, he’s the man you want to hear from, as he offers his perspective on the upcoming presidential, gubernatorial and congressional elections.
