Charlie Cook will speak about the 2008 elections at Elon University Monday.
The editor of The Cook Political Report and analyst for the National Journal Group will speak at a smaller luncheon at 11:30 a.m. and will give a speech at 7:30 p.m. in Whitley Auditorium.
The topic is "Looking Ahead to the 2008 Elections," natch.
Cook recently changed the presidential race in North Carolina to a "toss up" between Barack Obama and John McCain. He ranks the Senate race between Sen. Elizabeth Dole and Kay Hagan as "leans Republican," and the gubernatorial race between Pat McCrory and Beverly Perdue as "leans Democrat."
He has been described as "perhaps the best non-partisan tracker of Congressional races" by Washington Post columnist David Broder.
Elon, a private university near Greensboro, is home to the respected Elon University Poll.

Re: Charlie Cook coming to Elon
"Respected" Elon University Poll? Respected by whom?
"Fawned over by the media, but pretty much insignificant" is a more apt adjective to describe it.
