Bipartisan support is needed to change the current presidential nomination system, according to six experts who debated the issue at the Center for the Study of the American Electorate event Monday.
The forum, sponsored by the School of Public Affairs' Center for the Study of the American Electorate, featured Rep. David Price (D-N.C.), co-chair of the Democratic Party's Committee on the Nominating Process; David Norcross, chair of the Republican National Commit-tee's Rules Committee; Donald Fowler, former chair of the Democratic National Com-mittee; Thomas Sansonetti, former chair of the GOP Rules Committee; Curtis Gans, CSAE director; and James Thurber, director of SPA's Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies, according to the American Weekly.
The panelists discussed how the present system evolved and the collapse of a recent effort to improve it and why bipartisan support is needed to bring about change.
