Herding Donkeys Paperback

Ari Berman — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:35:42 +0000

Good news: Herding Donkeys is out in paperback today! Picador did an amazing job with the design. There’s also an new afterword focusing on the 2012 elections and future of the Obama movement.

Here’s the new jacket text:

In 2008, Barack Obama’s groundbreaking presidential campaign seemingly rewrote all the rules in electoral politics and heralded a new progressive era in America. What has become of the thrilling grassroots political movement that defined Obama’s campaign and reshaped the electoral map? Ari Berman’s Herding Donkeys answers and illuminates this vital question, mapping the evolution of modern American politics from Howard Dean to the Tea Party, and painting a vivid picture of the fight for political power in America today.

Ari Berman — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 03:09:10 +0000

After initially attacking Elizabeth Warren as the intellectual godmother of Occupy Wall Street, the newest attack ad from the Karl Rove-founded Crossroads GPS bizarrely claims that Warren is actually Wall Street’s best friend. I discussed the shifting campaign against Warren with Keith Olbermann recently.
