The work chronicles his career from his successful run in 1996 to represent Chicago's South Side in the Illinois Senate to his failed challenge in 2000 to the South Side's incumbent in the U.S. House to this partial term as the junior U.S. senator from Illinois beginning in 2004 and finally to his landslide election to the U.S. presidency in 2008. Dupuis and Boeckelman analyze in illuminating detail the critical ways in which the political calculus so brilliantly deployed in Obama's 2007-2008 national campaign was shaped by the lessons he learned from the successes and failures of his previous local and statewide campaigns. This paperback edition is updated and enhanced with post-election analysis, appendices, and photos.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMartin Dupuis\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant dean of the Burnett Honors College and associate professor of political science at the University of Central Florida. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKeith Boeckelman\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of political science at Western Illinois University and Research Fellow at the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e01 February 2009\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePraeger\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780313377846\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e207\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.68\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55553230635148,"sku":"9780313377846","price":23.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_856b1f6e-c6c9-4153-be2c-2c889643b5d6.jpg?v=1788314080","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780313377846","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
