reviewed The Primary Decision: A Functional Analysis of Debates in Presidential Primaries on December 15, 2017
The Primary Decision
The first half of this book was really good - great history of the rise of the liberal and conservative movements, a good perspective on the Bush years (this was published in 2008). So much so, that I was thinking the title and cartoonish cover did a disservice to the book. But then he got into some of the more social issues, and I started to get really annoyed. I had to cut him a bit of slack on the gay-marriage stuff - it was 2008, and marriage equality was just getting started. Ok. But abortion rights? He was way too wishy-washy and middle of the road to call himself a true liberal. He's clearly never actually talked to a woman who needed to terminate a pregnancy.
And maybe it's because I'm reading this in an Obama/Tea-Party/Occupy Movement world, so I just feel like he's a bit soft on where we need to be as a movement. So, 3.5 stars.
