Editorial Reviews

Review

"...cut above the usual spate of election "post-mortems"… not surprising since the Pomper group pioneered the writing of such works." -- )American Review of Politics (refers to 1996 edition)

"…should remain the first port of call for anyone." -- American Politics Review (refers to 1996 edition)

Product Description

Continuing a tradition of excellence in postelection analysis, Gerald M. Pomper leads a distinguished team of experts offering timely and insightful assessment of the first presidential election of the 21st century.

After a relatively uneventful campaign season, the American electorate divided evenly between two similar candidates who raised and spent record sums of money. Election Day was followed by an unprecedented period of uncertainty that was finally resolved in a controversial judicial decision.

How all this happened--and why--is discussed by this dynamic lineup of election specialists.
