If you thought the debate between the red and the blue states was protracted and has far-reaching consequences, just wait until you read here about the long-range impact of the fight between the blue and the gray. Menendez, a network television consultant, provides a narrative of the 35 presidential elections from 1868 to 2004, describing how regions, states and key counties responded, how party coalitions were developed, and how the results looked after all the votes were counted, which was sometime weeks after election day. He also provides charts of how citizens voted along party lines with a special emphasis on "breakout votes," instances in which results showed an opposition party convinced the electorate to break with the past. The raw data is fascinating in itself, but the maps tell much of the story, sometimes in startling ways. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Pretty dry reading, the way historical surveys tend to be -- because they're surveys, one damn factoid after another. This is not to say it isn't informative. I think it's most useful when summarizing and giving some historical and (sometimes) intellectual context for landmark cases through the 19th and 20th centuries. I would also register my persistent disagreement with the author, whose conservative ideology, though he demonstrably strives to write in an evenhanded way, is apparent. This is not a criticism of the study itself, which would amount to criticizing it for being written from a perspective, which is silly; it's just an observation of the character of my engagement with it, which was frequently oppositional.
