Talk about political coincidence.

On Saturday, two days before the Republican National Convention begins, Chautauqua’s own political observer and commentator David Kozak will analyze “The Campaign and Elections of 2012” at the 3 p.m. Contemporary Issues Forum in the Hall of Philosophy.

Kozak will take the microphone for his 25th year sharing his nonpartisan, informative take on the annual political scene. This is his seventh presidential election, and he describes the 2012 election as “one for the books.” Kozak describes the current political environment as a time of governing without majorities in an era of ill feeling, affected by stunning historical events amid challenging problems he called “wicked.”
