Professor of Political Science
Dedman College of Humanities and Sciences
One of the nation’s foremost political experts, Cal Jillson regularly provides journalists thoughtful insight on U.S. and Texas politics. A professor of political science, he is also the author of The American Dream, and a member of the Council of Foreign Relations.
Asked by The Calgary Harold about Republican insiders' fear of Sarah Palin's popularity among grassroots conservatives and Tea Party activists, Jillson said, "I think Republicans feel that Obama is eminently beatable in 2012, but the establishment wing of the party just does not believe that Palin can do it. What is at the bottom of this is that Democrats salivate at the prospect of Palin as the Republican nominee in 2012."
