| Political campaigns today are won or lost in the so-called ground war — the strategic deployment of teams of staffers, volunteers, and paid part-timers who work the phones and canvass block by block, house by house, voter by voter. Ground Wars provides an in-depth portrait of two such campaigns in the 2008 congressional elections, revealing how personalized political communication is profoundly influencing electoral outcomes and transforming American democracy. |
