Voters say they want to hear more about issues and less about partisan politics. Opportunity 08 answers the call with authoritative analysis and innovative policy solutions. The 2008 presidential campaign is the first contest since 1928 where neither the incumbent president nor the vice president is running for the nomination. This presents a rare opening for frank discussion of pressing challenges and innovative solutions. Opportunity 08 takes advantage of this rare political space to help the candidates, the media, and the electorate focus on the most critical issues facing America as it approaches a crossroads election.Opportunity 08 reflects an impressive breadth of expertise, opinions, and political beliefs. Contributors include Brookings scholars such as Ken Pollack and Carlos Pascual on Iraq, Strobe Talbott and William Antholis on climate change, and Henry Aaron on health care. Other authors include former members of the Bush administration such as Peter Rodman and Michael Green, former elected officials from both sides of the aisle, and renowned scholars such as Joseph Newhouse of Harvard and Peter Berkowitz of the Hoover Institution. The time has come for honest, nonpartisan, informed discussion of the challenges facing us today, and for innovative strategies to tackle them. America needs Opportunity 08.
