In discussing the presidential election last night, a panel of experts yielded some very different conclusions about the race's outcome.
During the forum, "The 1988 Presidential Election in Historical Perspective" panelists discussed the history of the presidential panelist incorporated his own area of expertise to present his views. About 125 people attended the forum at the event.
Allan Gillen, associate professor of political science; Demis Farnau, KU graduate and Wall Street Journal reporter; Martin Faustold, professor of history at the State University of New York at Gatesee; and James Ward, professor of history at Southwest Missouri State University conceived the panel.
After each manifesto presented his views about the November election, the group then fielded questions for about 30 minutes from the audience.
The forum began the 10th annual Mid-America Conference on History, which runs through Saturday. About 300 historians from around the country are at KU for the conference, participating in history seminars.
Gilger opened the program with his remarks. He began by making it clear that he was a stance Democrat. Although the race was close, the Democrats could win if they overcome three main weaknesses, he
Cigler said that two of the Democrats' obstacles were taking them too far. She was also negative attitude toward the U.S. that the party's biggest problem was the Trump administration.
"They have convinced us that they are compassionate, but can they lead?" he asked.
Farney used his experience in covering the presidential elections since 1974 to emphasize the changes in policy and environment in the last 90 years.
Four changes have occurred, Farney said. The candidates have become smoother and blender and the campaign is much more controlled. Also, the priorities of the Republican and Democratic parties and the press are more detached and informative of candidates weaknesses.
As a result of the changes in the elections, the candidates are less distinctive, he said.
"The people in this room are more interesting than the people that lead us." Farnev said.
"I conclude that George Bush will be the next president of the United States." Faussold said.
Fausold said George Bush would win the election on the strength and prosperity associated with President Reagan and his administration.
Giglio said that although the comparison had been made between the Kennedy election of 1960 and the Dukakis campaign now, the two were
Because Dukakis does not have the charisma of Kennedy and the vicepresidency carries more mature traits, he cannot be mistaken to be happily matched. he said.
Robert Flanders, professor of history at Southwest Missouri State, said he found the discussion to be provocative and stimulating.
Referring to the history scholars in the audience, Flanders said, "We are all looking for new ways to look at the data." We have made a number of elections. This gives us new ideas."
Surt小林, a graduate teaching assistant in history, said that the forum was an opportunity to learn about the issues.

Spirits high for shuttle astronauts
The Associated Press
CAPE CANALERAL Fla — The signs today read "7 Days to Launch" as NASA supplies for Discovery to lift off with five astronauts on a flight the space station provided. Unlimited availability to the United States manned space program.
Next Thursday, barring any problems, Discovery will be turning on the launch pad, its flight crew ready.
The signs, at entrances to the Kennedy Space Center, greet the 13,000 workers here who have labored 32 months since the Challenger tragedy to return the shuttle to flight.
"We clearly demonstrated we are ready to pick up the count for real," the space center director, Forrest S. McCartney, told cheering workers after the count-down test.
Spirits are high among shuttle workers. They began soaring after a successful launch pad test-firing of Discovery's engines Aug. 10 and an almost flawless first practice Sept. 8, the last two hurdles before launch
But one possible threat to Discovery's launch was revealed Wednesday, when NASA officials said an old-model nozzle inlet ring was in the final test of Mention Thorklion's redesigned space shuttle booster
However, NASA doesn't believe the finding will work. The official spokesman Ed Medal said. Medal said it had not yet found any outdated rings were used in the two boosters attached to Discovery, but a preliminary investigation is underway.
Kennedy Space Center has adopted the slogan "America Pride The Journey Continues." for Daryl McDowell's spacewalk.
