  <about><![CDATA[Kevin Phillips is an American writer and commentator, largely on politics, economics, and history. Formerly a Republican Party strategist, Phillips has become disaffected with his former party over the last two decades, and is now one of its harshest critics. He is a regular contributor to the &lt;i&gt;Los Angeles Times&lt;/i&gt; and National Public Radio, and is a political analyst on PBS' &lt;i&gt;NOW with Bill Moyers&lt;/i&gt;.

Phillips was a senior strategist for Richard Nixon's 1968 campaign, which was the basis for a book, &lt;i&gt;The Emerging Republican Majority&lt;/i&gt;, which predicted a conservative realignment in national politics, and is widely regarded as one of the most influential recent works in political science. His predictions regarding shifting voting patterns in presidential elections proved accurate, though they did not extend &quot;down ballot&quot; to Congress until the Republican revolution of 1994. Philips also was partly responsible for the design of the Republican &quot;Southern strategy&quot; of the 1970s and 1980s.]]></about>    <gender>male</gender>    <born_at>11/30/1940</born_at>
