Nominee Number Two: Not from the Right

This little volume is hot off the press by Thomas Frank, best known for his What's the Matter with Kansas?, the best-selling effort to understand why voters of modest means have been drawn to the Republican Party at a time in history when its policies have been less than friendly to families of modest means.  This one is aimed at understanding the rise of the Tea Party and its electoral allies whose success in 2010 returned America to divided government and policy gridlock.  It shows Frank's keen eye for developments not well chronicled in the mainstream media; and it reflects Frank's rye wit as well.
