Barack Obama won a resounding victory in November, but was it a victory for progressives? With the new administration now into its first 100 days, The Nation and Air America Media convened a panel of experts, activists and journalists to debate the role of progressives in the Obama presidency. Held at New York University on January 28, the panel debated when progressives should work with the new administration, and when they should mobilize for change. Topics ranged from Afghanistan, affirmative action and Social Security to the economic crisis, partisanship and the restoration of the rule of law.
