Adam Nagourney
Adam Nagourney’s work consistently makes the front page of the New York Times. Print editions from Feb. 29, March 2, 4, and 5 each feature his stories prominently, covering the heated race between Democratic presidential candidates Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama. Earlier this election season, the political writer tackled the Republican race between former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Arizona Sen. John McCain.
While the Presidential primaries have been decided on the Republican side, and continue on the Democratic side, Hobart and William Smith Colleges have the exceptional opportunity to hear an insider's thoughts and reflections on the race for the White House when Nagourney joins the President's Forum Series at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, March 10 in the Geneva Room of the library. Nagourney, who also writes the Times' political blog, "The Caucus" will offer his commentary with considerable background on U.S. presidential races.
