The Texas Frontier Heritage and Cultural Center™ presents:


CAMPAIGN 2008:


Presidential campaigns are always significant, but when have we had one as turbulent and unpredictable as this one? The Democrats nominated their first African-American candidate, after a brusing primary battle with the outspoken wife of the last Democratic occupant of the White House.

The Republicans nominated a maverick war hero who was predicted to go nowhere in early polls, and when he did he then chose as his running mate a self-described “soccer mom” from Alaska. The Surge continued in Iraq. The Russians invaded Georgia. And at the height of the campaign, the growing subprime mortgage crisis exploded on Wall Street in possibly the biggest financial meltdown since 1929.

Confused? Don’t worry — once the returns are in, McMurry professor of political science and host of the KWKC radio show “The Professors,” Dr. Paul Fabrizio, will be your host to explain

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?

Our ongoing Chautauqua Learning Series is based on the Chautauqua movement which spread throughout the rural United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It provided educational lectures and entertainment for average Americans before the advent of mass media like radio and television. The Texas Frontier Heritage and Cultural Center™ is proud to continue the spirit of that tradition in the unique setting of the Buffalo Gap Historic Village.

The Grady McWhiney Research Foundation would like to say Thank You to our honored suporters for helping us make the Chautauqua experience available to our community: The Dian Graves Owen Foundation, Judd White ~ CBS Insurance LLP, and Red Steagall.
