Contemporary politics in the United States is obsessed with the short-term. That is why this excellent book, which was written in 2002, is such a fresh of breath air. Written at a time when George W. Bush seemed invincible, this prescient work boldly predicted that, by decades end, the Democrats would emerge with a new majority that would replace the Reagan coalition.
With great detail, Judis and Teixeira clearly explain the deep cultural and demographic changes that are taking place in the U.S., and why they are leading to a Democratic majority. With a long-view of history, this work provides a fascinating description of the foundation that ultimately led to the election of President Obama.
