      <title>Q&amp;A with Jason Brennan</title>
      <description>Jason Brennan talked about his book, [Libertarianism: What Everyone Needs to Know]. He suggested that his goal for the book was to make libertarianism seem reasonable to people who were not inclined to know much about it. He described the book as a primer in the political philosophy described as libertarianism. In his book, Professor Brennan reviews well-know libertarians such as Ayn Rand and Milton Friedman, as well as Adam Smith and John Locke. He broadly defines three categories of libertarian thinkers as classical liberals, hard libertarians, and neo-classical liberals. He names examples of each category and talks about their views on many different economic and social issues. Professor Brennan reacted to video clips of Nick Gillespie, David Boaz, and Milton Friedman. He explained that the book was the latest in a series of "What Everyone Needs to Know" books published by Oxford University Press. In addition, he talked about his life and how he became interested libertarianism.</description>

      <title>Post-Election Analysis with Charlie Cook and Stu Rothenberg</title>
      <description>Charlie Cook and Stu Rothenberg assessed the results of the 2012 elections, the campaign in general, and the futures of both parties. Mr. Cook said Republicans need to appeal to a wider range of voters, warning, "Their center is older white men and that's not where this country is going. The future doesn't look like the Republican Party." Mr. Rothenberg in his analysis asserted that Democratic voters' beliefs do not allow them to vote for Republican candidates, while Republican voters' beliefs leave them more open to supporting Democrats. They responded to questions from members of the audience.
This event at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C., was part of Leading Authorities' Association Lecture Series, co-hosted with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. There was introductory video.</description>

      <title>Ohio and the 2012 Election</title>
      <description>Mark Naymik talked about Ohio's role as a "swing" state in the presidential election, and he responded to telephone calls and electronic communications. Topics included the state's historical significance in tracking presidential election outcomes, the unemployment and jobs outlook in the state, key issues for Ohio voters, and what to watch for on election night, among other topics.
"Swing" states are those in which either both major political parties have a strong chance of winning a state's electoral college votes.*As a result both Republican and Democrats campaign more heavily in those states because they represent the best chances to gain electoral votes.*
This was part ten of a "Washington Journal" series on the ten "swing" or "battleground" states in the 2012 election: Florida, Nevada, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Colorado, New Hampshire, Virginia, and Ohio.</description>
