If you liked the purple map, check out Morris Fiorina’s Culture War? The Myth of a Polarized America, which I was reminded of this morning by Robert Samuelson. It’s a useful corrective to the red vs. blue hysteria that has gripped the country. We are divided in many ways, but Fiorina, an eminent political scientist, reminds us that “the great mass of the American people… are for the most part moderate in their views and tolerant in their manner.” Check it out — the first chapter is available online in PDF format.
