South Dakota Politics: Book Blogging: Daschle v. Thune

July 18, 2007

Forthcoming from the University of Oklahoma Press is Jon Lauck's new book on the 2004 Daschle/Thune race, entitled Daschle Vs. Thune: Anatomy of a High-plains Senate Race. Note the discussion on Amazon.com, and how Jeremy "F--k John Thune" Funk is already in high attack mode. I would wonder if Funk would extend the same criticism to Arthur Schlesinger Jr., another historian who was actively involved in Democratic politics.

UPDATE: Speaking of Schlesinger, don't miss this W$J Opinion Journal piece about him entitled "Crisis of the Old Liberal Order."
