(Feb. 8) Black Political Genius--Political scientist and scholar Dr. Ron Walters visited Syracuse this week to discuss the "Obama Factor" and for a general question and answer session on the science of politics. Politics is still a game of numbers despite all the hype about cultural pluralism and remarkable candidates such as Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barak Obama, he said. The general session featured topics such as establishing more black think tanks and the effect of money and public policy expertise on politics. Dr. Walters, who is the Director of the African American Leadership Institute and Scholar Practitioner Program and distinguished leadership scholar at the James Macgregor Academy of Leadership and professor of government and politics at the University of Maryland, said challenge of the next generation is to get the most out of the vote they cast.
