"Now that Dixie politicians and George W. Bush have remade the national GOP in their own image -- messianic adventurism in the Middle East, Texas-style corruption, bungled oil strategy, and fealty to radical religion -- the new Republican South is turning into a symbol of party parochialism and excess. Tom Schaller's Whistling Past Dixie is the best analysis to date of how the Democrats may be able to take advantage." -- Kevin Phillips, author of American Theocracy, "Schaller's...overall argument stands up pretty well after the 2006 elections. The Democrats gained less in the South than elsewhere last fall, and where they did gain it was usually in border states, via notably conservative candidates who did not win by much."- Nicholas Lemann, The New Republic, "Thank goodness forWhistling Past Dixieby Tom Schaller.
