Maintaining the first edition's theme and positive view of the usefulness of the American party system, the Second Edition contains all new data and substantially revised analyses.
The long-awaited revision of Larry Sabato's classic work on political parties in the United States, The Party's Just Begun has been brought completely up-to-date and features a new co-author, Bruce Larson. A work of original research, the first edition showcased the surprisingly favorable view most Americans held about the two major political parties, and offered guidelines on how we might continue to strengthen the parties for the sake of our political system.
