• Provides a complete and engaging analysis of the most important factors in the 2004 election, including campaign finance laws, the impact of the Internet, the effectiveness of John Kerry in the “red states," the role of the news media, and the part played by religion.
• Includes original chapters by Larry Sabato, a nationally renowned election scholar and commentator.
• Includes contributed chapters from some of the foremost journalists and scholars who followed the election, including Charlie Cook (National Journal), Will Saletan (Slate.com), Rhodes Cook (The Rhodes Cook Letter), Chuck Todd and Vaughn Ververs (The Hotline), Michael Toner (Federal Election Commission), Susan MacManus (University of South Florida), and Russell Muirhead, Nancy L.
