TAKE IT BACK Our Party, Our Country, Our Future

Democrats have been taking a beating recently from a determined, relentless, and generally unprincipled--even downright vicious and corrupt--right-wing neoconservative cabal. Veteran Democratic guide dogs Begala and Carville unfold a thorough, well-crafted plan for their party's resurgence--a tough campaign bristling with confrontation on all fronts, using Republicans' strengths against them in clever political judo. Begala handles the narration smoothly and comfortably. He's loose and friendly in front of a mike, affable and funny--and certainly not beyond chiding his own tribe for their blunders and miscues while reminding listeners of their strengths and virtues. A valuable playbook the Dems should program on "repeat" on their CD players. D.J.B. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 06]
