Crissi Cochrane
Singer/Songwriter, Crissi Cochrane

She recorded her first album in Chicago in the summer of 2010 called Darling, Darling, somewhere along the line she passed through here – Windsor and Detroit… eventually calling us her new home.

Professor Jackson has a BA in political science from the University of Detroit, a Masters in political science from Bowling Green State University, and his Ph.D. from Wayne State University. His research focuses on entertainment and politics (and really, this election has been more about shock-jock entertainment than politics) – Professor Jackson joined us from the traditional swing state of Ohio, from out of the department of Political Science at Bowling Green State University the morning before the big day.

The Computer that Saw Tomorrow – in 1952
J. Presper Eckert and CBS's Walter Cronkite pondering the UNIVAC on election night, 1952.
Its name was Univac. A mainframe marvel – a sci-fi wonder in its day… A computer to predict the future. It was an autumn night in 1952 – much like this one, CBS' Charles Collingwood was assigned to Univac to tell the world of its presidential prediction… It would be the first election that a computer predicted the next president – it’s prediction so unanticipated that the media stalled releasing the unlikely calculation – and so what did Univac say?
"It's awfully early, but I'll go out on a limb ... The chances are now 00 to 1 in favor of the election of Eisenhower."
– Univac was right! Today such a computer task is unsurprising… but can you imagine 1952?
