Eyes on Richmond: Political Analysis by Dan Palazzolo
Posted by Kimberly Allen
Thanks to WCVE Public Radio, a community idea station, for their ongoing sponsorship of our Eyes on Richmond series. In case you missed it, yesterday WCVE aired this report by Craig Carper from Friday's Eyes on Richmond program with political scientist and University of Richmond professor Daniel Palazzolo.
The forum, titled "The 2010 Midterm Elections & Beyond," focused on the results of last Tuesday's elections. In one of his key points, Palazzolo explained that divided government does not necessarily result in gridlock and can move forward:
"There are plenty of times when Democrats and Republicans are able to bridge their differences and move on, even under President Bush, who some argue was the most polarizing figure in American politics... It depends a lot on what the leaders want to do. it’s going to be a very difficult two years, no question about it, partly because of this polarization, but there are issues on which the two parties can work together and move things forward."
If interested, you can also listen to Dr. Palazzolo's full remarks below, followed by an open Q&A session.
