July 17, 2012

Audio

The Center's incoming faculty director, Bruce Cain, was a guest on KQED Radio's "Forum" with Michael Krasny, on Tuesday, July 17, 2012.

What makes a politician likeable? Can personality overcome other perceived deficits? Host: Michael Krasny

Guests:

Bruce Cain, professor of political science at Stanford University and director designate of the Bill Lane Center for the American West

Morris Fiorina, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution

Peter Beinart, associate professor of journalism and political science at the City University of New York, senior political writer for The Daily Beast-Newsweek and senior fellow at the New America Foundation
