Summary:

It is the best collection available on the 2000 election and should have genuine appeal to anyone interested in the 2000 election and American politics more generally." - George Rabinowitz, University of North Carolina " Few books cover the topic of modeling presidential elections in such an accessible manner. None had a more fascinating election than the 2000 election to work with." - John C. Green, The University of Akron
