The Democrats incurred such large losses in the 2004 election because voters were more concerned about terrorism than the economy, said New Yorker columnist Hendrik Hertzberg in Madison on Tuesday.
Hertzberg was here as part of the first day of The New Yorker magazine’s College Tour. New Yorker writers and cartoonists will be on campus today and Thursday. His appearance, entitled “The Next Four Years,” came before more than 1,000 people in the packed Great Hall of the Memorial Union.
