Football Meets Politics in
Democrats in the RED ZONE
an Independent voter’s take on the game of political perception
by A.F. Cook
In this unique and insightful book, A.F. Cook looks at politics through the eyes of a football fan. Cook examines the Democratic Party’s persistent talent for losing big elections — especially the presidency. In Cook’s view, the Party and its supporters need to understand the cultural appeal of football if they want to score more points in the political end zone. You don’t need to be a professional pundit or academic to see what’s wrong with the Democratic Party, Cook believes. In the author’s view, “average” voters have more to teach Democrats than either — if the Party is willing to listen.
TOPICS COVERED INCLUDE:
• How “liberal” became a four-letter word
• Why voters let Republicans get away with so much
• How the Democrats’ “Big Three” give Democrats perception headaches
• Why voters don’t like the press and why it matters
