Election night often makes for a frustrating evening in front of the TV, complaining about commentators' banal, time-filling remarks and wishing in vain for some astute analysis with solid stats. Wouldn't it be more fun to experience the presidential election while enaged in discussion with political experts, in person, right as the results roll in? The Chicago Council on Global Affairs — a nonpartisan group dedicated to enhancing public dialogue — has created a perfect election-night treat at Lakeview's Schubas Tavern, part of the Council's GOAt (Globally Occupied Attention) series. Drink up, watch the results, ask those burning questions, and enter to win the Swing State Prediction Raffle.
