    <body><![CDATA[Read this last year before the rise of Obama.  Amazing how quickly things change.  The thesis of the book, that American politics will be dominated by an enduring conservative majority for the foreseeable future, seems pretty dated now.  Of course conservative Republicanism might come roaring back i...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41515244">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Interesting look at America's drift rightward over the last several decades. Okay, so I didn't finish it--this is a classic case of a topic that deserves more than a long-form magazine essay, but less than a 400 page book. <br/><br/>Plus the authors, who are former writers and editors for The Econ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6458518">more...</a>]]></body>
