Here’s a news flash for Rabinowitz: the media has backed Obama since the early days of the Democratic primary when it began its relentless assault on Hillary Clinton.

[edit] Wilentz's "Rise of American Democracy"

2 October 2008, by I just finished reading Sean Wilentz's mammoth book "The Rise of American Democracy: From Jefferson to Lincoln." It's quite a work, incredibly dense and detailed. It gets bogged down, in my opinion, during the dicussion of Jackson's two terms and much of the debate over the Second Bank of the United States but overall it was an enjoyable read. Be forewarend though, it's a serious scholarly work and is written as such. There's very little color or flare and Wilentz lacks the ability of some of th

11 September 2008, by You would never know from this report in the Chronicle of Higher Education that the final decision on who the next president will be will not be up to our New Jersey political history colleague Sean Wilentz. I mean, give me a break. He works on the nineteenth century guys. Why would Ohio, Pennsylvania and -- from what I hear today, Nevada -- be waiting breathlessly on what a historian of the nineteenth century United States thinks? It's we twentieth century scholars you need to keep a close eye

28 August 2008, by Tonight at Mile High will be extraordinary, I am sure; and I am so pleased that my twenty-year-old son Michael, heading the Brown Daily Herald news team, will be there to witness Obama's acceptance speech. But for me personally it would be hard to top last night at the Democratic Convention, listening to Bill Clinton and Joe Biden set the stage for Obama and bring the nation and the Democratic Party to the brink of the most important political watershed in the past four decades. As Michigan S

[edit] On the coffee table – ‘The Age of Reagan’

13 June 2008, by Sean Wilentz’s new book is a good “connect the dots” book. Wilentz breaks no new investigative ground, but does a good job of showing how the “Age of Reagan” carried far beyond the Gipper's end of service. More from my Amazon review: Actually, this book could be subtitled “The Age of Cheney.” Whether consciously on his part or not, Wilentz has Cheney “popping up” on a regular basis, usually connected in some way to his defining, formulating and trying to advance his “unitary executive” ideas.
