The Election of 2000: Reports and Interpretations

2.8/5 ( ratings)

Everybody is talking about the U.S. Election of 2000. How could the election have resulted in an almost even split between Democrats and Republicans? Who or what affected the outcome--the candidates, the system, the media, the political parties, President Clinton? Will the bitterness over the Florida recount and the final Supreme Court decision impact the new Bush administration? What happened and why is the subject of "The Election 2000." The book continues a tradition, first started in 1976, of excellence in post-election analysis. Gerald M. Pomper again leads a distinguished team of experts offering timely, insightful, and provocative assessment of the first presidential election of the 21st century. Topics include: Clinton's impact on the election outcome; how Bush and Gore came to be nominated; the media's role; what the general public were thinking throughout the campaign; the record-breaking sums of money raised and spent; and the significance of the Florida recount debate and controversial Supreme Court decision. "The Election 2000" is the first published book-length analysis of the most contentious presidential contest in 124 years.
