NAFB members heard from Jennifer Duffy, The Cook Political Report, at dinner this evening. Jennifer says she started covering this year’s election in early 2006 and she’s going to be ready for a 3 month vacation after it’s over.
I spoke to her prior to dinner and learned that her job is to analyze and try to figure out the outcome of various elections. She says the farm audience has played a very important role in various elections on a national level. Here at the NAFB Washington Watch dinner her remarks were mostly about congressional races and the political environment in Washington, DC.
