About this book
Reviews
"Over the years, the New Hampshire primary has produced some of the most dramatic, most surprising moments in American politics. Dante Scala takes you back through that history in this most readable and entertaining volume. It's a political junkie's dream." - David S. Broder, The Washington Post
"[Stormy Weather] is the first political science book I've ever read that qualifies as a page-turner." - Jon Greenberg, Executive Editor of New Hampshire Public Radio
"Many an electoral storm has billowed up in New Hampshire, blowing away some candidacies and causing power outages for front-runners. This informative book tells on how Democratic activists manufacture such gusts, or, as the case may be, struggle against the wind." - Emmett H. Buell, Jr., Denison University
"For anyone interested in America's presidential nominating process, this book is well worth reading." - Rhodes Cook, author of America Votes and publisher of The Rhodes Cook Letter
"This book will prove indispensable for journalists, students, and anyone interested in US Presidential politics." - Andrew Smith, Director, The Survey Center, University of New Hampshire
If anyone needs another reminder that the next presidential election cycle is upon us, this book serves that purpose well. The New Hampshire primary will be held January 27, following quickly on the Iowa caucuses of the preceding week. Scala (political science, St. Anselm Coll.) makes his debut with this volume, bridging the academic world with practical politics. It is a balanced mix, offering historical context, extensive interviews, and academic research on the electoral process. Scala argues that candidates skilled at building coalitions in the Granite State, rather than those who only mobilize a particular faction, are most likely to have success in subsequent primaries-even if they don't win first place in New Hampshire. A readable blend of narrative and data will make this necessary reading for political junkies and a popular text in political science courses. Though focusing almost exclusively on the Democratic party, this work is likely to go through future expanded editions and deserves a paperback edition. Highly recommended.-William D.
