Publisher's Comments
The 2006 midterm elections may be the most hotly contested midterm election in decades, and the Democrats are hoping to win big.  But they can’t do it without a coherent strategy.  Now, a much needed architect has arrived in Paul Waldman, as he gives progressives, at last, the clear-eyed, multi-facted plan they need for victory. Like conservatives since Barry Goldwater’s defeat, he argues, progressives need to start planning for long-term success, and they need for starter’s, to come up with a way to describe their worldview in a single sentence. Offering a host of specific advice and recommendations—how Democratic candidates must be strong as well as right, and why Democrats should forget the South and embrace the Southwest—this book may well be the landmark game plan for progressives that The Emerging Republican Majority was for the Goldwater/Reagan Republicans
