With Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry poised to win the Democratic presidential nomination-and polls showing his "electability" the chief factor in winning him a majority of votes-how should the Bush administration begin to mount its defense of the White House in November?
In an age of instant polling, Internet chatter and the 24-hour news cycle, what influence will the media have on the 2004 presidential election?
CNN Crossfire co-hosts Tucker Carlson and Paul Begala will explore these issues tonight during a Vanderbilt University address. The event begins at 7 p.m. in Langford Auditorium on the Vanderbilt campus.
Prior to their public lecture, Carlson and Begala will address the media at 6:30 p.m. in Light Hall, Room 300CA.
Carlson and Begala are co-hosts of the popular political debate program Crossfire, seen each weekday on CNN. Carlson provides commentary "from the right," as he squares off against Begala "from the left."

WHERE: Light Hall, Room 300CA. Light Hall is directly adjacent to Langford Auditorium on the Vanderbilt campus.
