General Session Breakfast
Wednesday, February 3

Featuring Charlie Cook, Publisher of the Cook Political Report and Columnist for the National Journal

"There are political junkies, and then there's Charlie Cook--the man who knows more about everything political than anyone else." The Washingtonian

When Charlie Cook makes a pronouncement based on his analysis of the political scene in America, people who want to "be in the know" sit up and listen. For more than two decades he has been Washington's most trusted--and most accurate--voice on all things political, whether it's the outcome of a national, state, or local election or the likely vote tally on a bill before Congress. As the publisher of The Cook Political Report and a political analyst for the National Journal Group, his prodigious writing output is the direct line to politics for those who want to know what is happening behind the scenes in America's halls of power. He writes weekly for National Journal magazine and CongressDailyAM, and he also pens a regular column for the Washington Quarterly, published by the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Once deemed "the Picasso of election analysis" by the Wall Street Journal and represented exclusively by Leading Authorities, Cook produces the sharpest political handicapping in the business, serving as the one-man, go-to-source for Americans who want to be truly informed.
