{"product_id":"centrist-manifesto-9780393346879","title":"Centrist Manifesto","description":"From debt ceiling standoffs to single-digit Congress approval ratings, America's political system has never been more polarized--or paralyzed--than it is today. As best-selling author and public policy expert Charles Wheelan writes, now is the time for a pragmatic Centrist party that will identify and embrace the best Democratic and Republican ideals, moving us forward on the most urgent issues for our nation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Wheelan--who not only lectures on public policy but practices it as well (he ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 2009)--brings even more than his usual wit and clarity of vision to \u003cem\u003eThe Centrist Manifesto\u003c\/em\u003e. He outlines a realistic ground game that could net at least five Centrist senators from New England, the Midwest, and elsewhere. With the power to deny a red or blue Senate majority, committed Centrists could take the first step toward giving voice and power to America's largest, and most rational, voting bloc: the center.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
