by Grant Barrett

Includes more than 600 slang terms straight from the smoke-filled rooms of American political speech. We find not only the meaning and history of familiar terms such as gerrymander, but also of lesser-known terms such as cracking (splitting a bloc of like-minded voters by redistricting) and fair-fight district (which refers to areas redistricted to favor no political party). Each entry includes the definition of the word, its historical background, and usage citations, some going back more than 200 years.--From publisher description.
