Description of The Almanac of American Politics 2008 |
The unequivocal 2006 election results suggest we have entered a new period in American politics. When America's votes were tallied this past November, Democrats had won Election Day majorities in both the Senate and the House for the first time since 1992. The House Democrats' margin of victory, furthermore, was very similar to the House Republicans' popular vote margin in 1994 - a harbinger, perhaps, of a new political era. In the wake of such an eventful election, it's no surprise that pundits on both sides of the fence are clamoring for the 2008 edition of "The Almanac of American Politics" - the gold standard for anyone who wants to understand the American political landscape. Once again, renowned journalists Michael Barone and Richard E. Cohen present the ultimate reference guide for everyone involved, invested, or interested in American politics. As in previous editions, the "2008 Almanac" includes colorful, fascinating profiles of every member of Congress and every governor. It also includes in-depth and up-to-date political profiles of all fifty states and 435 House districts - covering everything from economics to history to, of course, politics.
Specific to this latest edition of the nation's leading political resource is coverage of all special elections in the 109th Congress and redistricting changes. Barone and Cohen also provide a comprehensive look at the early maneuvering and likely battlegrounds of the 2008 presidential campaign. Complete with maps, census data, and indispensable information on topics ranging from campaign expenditures to voting records to interest group ratings, this latest edition of "The Almanac of American Politics" presents everything you need to know about current American politics, related in snappy prose and framed by cogent analysis. It also features: a national overview of the 2006 midterm election and its implications for 2008; Colorful, insightful narratives for each state and congressional district; more than sixty state and congressional district maps, along with district profiles; campaign expenditure data; voting records; interest group ratings; census data; and access to the Web edition.
