Michael Kranish on the Campbell Conversations

Who is the real Mitt Romney?  The question is being asked with increasing frequency.  In this edition of the Campbell Conversations, Grant Reeher goes in search of an answer with Michael Kranish.

He’s the deputy Washington bureau chief of the Boston Globe, and the co-author of the book, The Real Romney.

In a conversation taking place just before the revelation of Romney’s comments about the 47 percent, Kranish discusses the influence of Romney’s background and formative political experiences, and how his market orientation might shape his leadership style as president. 

Grant Reeher is a Political Science Professor and Senior Research Associate at the Campbell Public Affairs Institute at Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship. He is also creator, host and program director of “The Campbell Conversations” on WRVO, a weekly regional public affairs program featuring extended in-depth interviews with regional and national writers, politicians, activists, public officials, and business professionals.

This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.
