Conventional Wisdom and American Elections: Exploding Myths, Exploring Misconceptions, by Drs. Baumgartner and Francia, is now officially in its 4th edition – and available!
From the book jacket: During every election cycle, political observers generate a seemingly limitless supply of theories, opinions, and predictions. Unfortunately, many of these assertions oversimplify complex subjects or over-hype the latest political fads. Inevitably, some misinformation becomes part of the conventional wisdom about American elections. The objective of this book is to bring clarity to several of these subjects.
