Newswise — John Dinan, associate professor of political science at Wake Forest University, is available to talk about the tight North Carolina election this year. He is primarily attributing the narrow Obama lead to the fact that his campaign expanded the playing field by staying in the state following the primary and continuing to contest the race through his field offices. He notes that voter turnout is not remarkably higher than in 2004, and that the state is still tracking 4% more Republican than neighboring Virginia.
Dinan is also a nationally-respected expert on ballot initiatives, and is available to talk about the success or failure of the many state constitutional amendments on the ballots yesterday, especially those in Calif. and Fla.
Several other professors are available to discuss the campaigns and specific campaign issues; a website with their information, searchable by topic, is online at http://www.wfu.edu/wfunews/2008/election/.
Wake Forest has C and Ku band satellite uplink and Vyvx fiber optic access, as well as ISDN connectivity.
