After the 2004 election, the Republican Party held the White
House, both houses of Congress, twenty-eight governorships, and a
majority of state legislatures. One-party rule, it seemed, was here
to stay.
"Herding Donkeys "tells the improbable tale of the grassroots
resurgence that transformed the Democratic Party from a lonely
minority to a sizable majority. It chronicles the inside story of
Howard Dean's visionary yet deeply controversial fifty-state
strategy, charting his unpredictable journey from insurgent
presidential candidate, to front-running flameout, to chairman and
conscience of the Democratic Party in an unexpected third act. Ari
Berman reveals how the Obama campaign built upon Dean's strategy
when others ridiculed it, expanding the ranks of the party and
ultimately laying the groundwork for Obama's historic electoral
victory--but also sowing the seeds of dissent that would lead to
legislative stalemate and intraparty strife.
Revelatory and entertaining, in the vein of Timothy Crouse's "The
Boys on the Bus "and Rick Perlstein's "Nixonland," "Herding Donkeys
"combines fresh reportage with a rich and colorful cast of
characters.""It captures the untold stories of the people and
places that""reshaped the electoral map, painting a vivid portrait
of a shifting""country while dissecting the possibility and peril
of a new era in American politics.
