Concrete Playground

After their complete electoral meltdown in the 2008 election, the Republican Party – the Grand Old Party of US Politics – find themselves in a place of deep soul-searching. Should they moderate their ideological positions to appeal to a wider range of voters? Or focus even more on their increasingly conservative base? Will they ever recover from Dubya'? And just what the freak is going on with Sarah Palin?

All perfect things to discuss over a beer at Manning Bar with Cliff May, a leading US Republican commentator visiting Sydney to give a Republican's perspective on policy both domestic and foreign, as well as insights on their current situation going into 2010 and 2012. And Sarah Palin. Presented by Tom Tilly from JJJ's Hack and organsied by the United States Studies Centre at Sydney Uni, this event is for you if you're still suffering from election fever or you're a devoted West Wing fan.
