Robert Smith and Richard Seltzer offer fresh insights on the
decisive, and often surprising, role of presidents and presidential
candidates in polarizing US politics. In a rich, multidimensional
narrative, the authors show how presidential rhetoric and policies
have served to divide voters along lines of class, party, race, and
region. They also underscore the enduring consequences of George
Wallace's, Barry Goldwater's, and George McGovern's failed
presidential campaigns. Moving beyond the ""guns, God, and gays""
conventional wisdom, their distinctive contribution leads to an
enhanced understanding of the political attitudes that have shaped
today's polarized polity.
