Democratic and Republican consultants will gather at Tulane University Monday and Tuesday for the first political summit of the Bipartisan Policy Center.
Political consultants James Carville and Mary Matalin are hosts for the event, whose theme will be "Taking the Poison Out of Partisanship." Panel discussions are designed to discuss how Republicans and Democrats can stick to their ideological principles while maintaining "an aura of civility," center spokeswoman Eileen McMenamin said.
The meeting will close with a barbecue and a charity Wii decathlon with local children competing against political consultants and moderators. It will benefit the Devlin Student-Athletes for Education Center for Leadership Development, an organization that builds relationships between Tulane athletes and New Orleans' schools and nonprofit organizations.
