Reviews
The key question inspiring much of the essays' discussion and post-election analysis is what went wrong, particularly with polling. Noting change and continuity, the essays persuasively illustrate that beyond recent controversial reports, American political parties continue to be vibrant and dynamic institutions. * CHOICE *
