Not Much Left: The Fate of Liberalism in America vividly demonstrates how the progressive and liberal wing of the Democratic Party helped end a war, won the civil rights battle, and paved the way for blacks, women, gays, and other minorities to achieve full citizenship. Through reportage, anecdotes, and analysis-particularly of the disastrous defeat of Democrat George McGovern in 1972-Waldman chronicles how the grand coalition that achieved so much in the 1960's began to self-destruct in the early 1970's. Citing the Republican recovery from Barry Goldwater's 1964 defeat, Waldman demonstrates how the two parties' very different reactions to electoral debacle account for recent Republican dominance and Democratic impotence. Assessing liberalism's fate through the Carter and Reagan presidencies, the defeat of Michael Dukakis in the 1988 presidential election, and the on-again, off-again liberalism of the Clinton years, Waldman then brings the discussion up to date with analysis of the 2008 presidential campaign. 606 $aLiberalism$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aLiberalism$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$xElection$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$xElection$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aPolitical campaigns$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPolitical campaigns$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aPopular culture$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPopular culture$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1945-1989 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1989- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLiberalism$xHistory 615 0$aLiberalism$xHistory 615 0$aPresidents$xElection$xHistory 615 0$aPresidents$xElection$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical campaigns$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical campaigns$xHistory 615 0$aPopular culture$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aPopular culture$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 676 $a320.510973 700 $aWaldman$b Tom$f1956-$01055915 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452728303321 996 $aNot much left$92489727 997 $aUNINA
