The U.S. presidential election of 2008 was one of the most
significant elections in recent American history. Bringing together
leading geographers and political scientists, this authoritative
atlas analyzes and maps the campaigns, primaries, general election,
and key state referenda to provide a rich picture of this watershed
event. The contributors offer a comprehensive and detailed
assessment of all aspects of the election, providing presidential
results at the national level, in major regions, and in swing
states. Drilling down to county level, they trace voting patterns
for key racial, ethnic, religious, and occupational groups. They
also illustrate the campaign strategies of Democratic and
Republican party leaders. Moving beyond the national race, the
atlas compares important senatorial and gubernatorial races to
presidential votes and considers selected state referenda such as
marriage amendments, farm animal cruelty, stem cell research, and
physician-assisted suicide. For added context and depth, the 2008
election results are compared with previous national elections.
Illustrated with more than 200 meticulously drawn full-color maps,
the atlas will be an essential reference and a fascinating resource
for pundits, voters, campaign staffs, and political junkies alike.
