The Post-Election Forum features commentary and a Q&A session with Stuart Rothenberg (The Rothenberg Political Report), Julie Bykowicz (Baltimore Sun), Tom Schaller (UMBC Political Science) and Don Norris (UMBC Public Policy). Topics range from local to national issues, including voter turnout, the impact of unemployment, the role of the Tea Party, and projections for 2012.
