Will change the way you view America, for the better

Written by respected pollster Adams, this book is one of the most facinating I've ever read. Among the interesting findings is that Republicans and Democrats have much more in common values-wise than with non-voters. In fact, much of the things we 'hate' about the other side turn out to be values of non-voters, not of members of the other party. The best part of the book is the description of the different areas of the country and how their values are different and changing. Can't recommend enough.
