Book:
The Neglected Voter: White Men and the Democratic Dilemma
by David Paul Kuhn
In the 1960s, the Republican party won over a crucial demographic:
white male voters, and the game was changed for both parties. The
Neglected Voter explains how Republicans came to dominate the
White House and what Democrats can do to continue their efforts to
turn the Red tide. Equipped with rare access to exit polls,
exclusive interviews and unprecedented research data, Kuhn
examines the role of gender and racial identity and each party's
gains and losses through the social changes of the last fifty
years.
