- How did fundraising during the "invisible primary" shape the nomination contest?
- To what extent did youth participation determine the outcome of the election?
- What effect did new media have on the campaign and voter turnout?
- What role did the economic crisis play in voters’ choices?

As with all books in the Change and Continuity series, the authors present election data from a variety of sources in a straightforward, accessible manner and make sure to incorporate and discuss the most recent research.

About the Author:
Review:
Paul R. Abramson is professor of political science at Michigan State University. He is coauthor of ValueChange in Global Perspective (1995) and author of Political Attitudes in America (1983), The Political Socialization of Black Americans (1977), and Generational Change in American Politics (1975).
A new edition of Change and Continuity in American Elections is always welcome for anyone teaching a course in American Voting Behavior. This new edition is an especially valuable resource given the historic quality of the 2008 election. As usual, there is wisdom in how the authors locate this election in historical context, taking into account both individual level change and the impact of major social and economic events. It is a no-brainer for me to use this text again. --- Jack Citrin, University of California, Berkley
When I have taught voting and elections, or related courses, in the past I have routinely used the Change and Continuity books by Abramson, Aldrich, and Rohde. The textbook successfully blends theoretical discussion of political behavior with accessible, compelling narratives of recent presidential and congressional campaigns, and current findings from the venerable American National Election Studies series, helping students understand the ways in which political scientists study elections and voting. Perhaps most importantly, the authors also place recent elections in a rich historical context, illustrating the key trends in the public mood, party allegiances, and voting patterns over time. --- Chris Lawrence, Texas A&M International University
I have used the Change and Continuity books for many years and have always found them ideal for my elections and voting behavior course. They have consistently provided the best set of findings from the most recent National Election Study. Furthermore, they have proved doubly valuable because they astutely place these findings in historical perspective. - --Martin P. Wattenberg, University of California, Irvine
