The Future of America's Political Parties tackles a question
brought to the fore in 2004 and 2006 and certain to occupy citizens
and students of politics for years to come: Where do the parties
stand in relation to their historic ideals, the voters, and each
other? This book provides an inside glimpse into an April 2006
conference on the future of the parties held at Claremont McKenna
College in Southern California. Participants included top-tier
political analysts Michael Barone, Peter Beinart, Patrick Caddell,
Hugh Hewitt, William Kristol, and Roy Teixeira; noted scholars
including Elaine Kamarck, Charles Kesler, Michael Malbin, Wiliam
Mayer, and Nelson Polsby; and former Congressman Timothy Roemer
(D-Ind.). In a combination of panel discussions and individual
remarks, the participants grappled with issues such as the
vulnerabilities of the Democrats on moral values and national
security, Republican disillusionment with 'compassionate
conservatism,' the challenges of the new campaign finance regimen,
the future of party organization, and the role of cultural issues
in the parties.
