Thank you for this interview, Alan. Can we begin by having you tell everyone what your new book, The Obama Revolution, is all about?
The Obama Revolution is about the hopes and dreams of a generation of young people who came together to make Barack Obama the 44th President of the United States. The first book about Obama's presidential campaign by someone who worked on the campaign, The Obama Revolution provides an in-the-trenches look at what it was like to turn red states blue. Although much ink has been spilled about Obama's election, much less has been said about the late nights, the day-old coffee, the phone callers, and the canvassers who turned the campaign into a grassroots movement.
