Product Description
Product Description
A hard-hitting book, this work is a penetrating and provocative look at the American political scene. Succumbing to the pressure of the permanent campaign, King argues that our politicians have become vulnerable. Thus, all major policies and all the major features of our system have fallen profoundly under the sway of this vulnerability.

A gem of a political commentary
22 Sep 1998
Format:Hardcover
Anthony King presents a trenchant, witty, and insightful overview of what ails Congressional elections and the Congressional process. He convincingly makes the case that Congressmen are 'hyper-responsive' to polls, interest groups, and (ultimately) 'what the voters think'. Nothing principled ever gets accomplished in Congress because every Congressman is continuously running for office, with one eye on the latest poll and the other on what his (or her) opponent is accusing the incumbent of. King presents several suggestions for reform that would ameliorate 'hyper-responsiveness'- the suggestions deserve serious discussion
