Political pollsters Scott Rasmussen and Doug Schoen discuss the Tea Party's origins, how the growth of the movement is fundamentally remaking our two-party system, and what that means for the future of American politics. Narrator Mike Chamberlain's clarity and excellent pacing help give weight to this data-rich analysis of American populism. The authors used online focus groups and interviews with Tea Party leaders, and although there is extensive overlapping and repetition in this book, it is generally politically balanced. Political junkies on both the left and the right will enjoy this insightful listen. B.C.E. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
