Hamline University Professor's New Book Presidential Swing States: Why Ten Only Matter explains why the 2016 US Presidential Race is Already Over in 40 States
SAINT PAUL, MN (PRWEB) November 19, 2015 -- Hamline University professor David Schultz, noted expert on elections, politics, and public policy, announces the publication of his latest book, Presidential Swing States: Why Only Ten Matter.
Published by Lexington Books, Presidential Swing States is a first of its kind book that explains why some states are more decisive and important in American presidential elections than others. According to Schultz: "The 2016 presidential race is arguably already over in 40 states and the District of Columbia. If recent presidential election trends are any indication of what will happen in 2016, Democrats in Texas and Republicans in New York might as well stay home on election day because their votes will matter little in the presidential race. But for those in Ohio, Florida, Colorado, Iowa, and a handful of other states, their votes matter. These states will be battered with a barrage of presidential candidate visits, commercials, political spending, and countless stories about them by the media."
The book can be found at Amazon.com, though the publisher, and other bookstores. For journalists, scholars, students, and the general public who wish to understand American presidential elections better, Presidential Swing States is a must read.
