Over the last quarter century, a nationalized and increasingly
conservative Republican Party made unprecedented gains at the state
level, winning control of twenty-four new state governments.
Liberals and conservatives alike anticipated far-reaching
consequences, but what has the Republican revolution in the states
achieved? Red State Blues shows that, contrary to liberals' fears,
conservative state governments have largely failed to enact
policies that advance conservative goals or reverse prior liberal
gains. Matt Grossmann tracks policies and socioeconomic outcomes
across all 50 states, interviews state insiders, and considers the
full issue agenda. Although Republicans have been effective at
staying in power, they have not substantially altered the nature or
reach of government. Where they have had policy victories, the
consequences on the ground have been surprisingly limited. A sober
assessment of Republican successes and failures after decades of
electoral victories, Red State Blues highlights the stark limits of
the conservative ascendancy.
