It’s John McCain’s America. 它的约翰麦凯恩的美国。 Barack Obama only lives in it. 巴拉克奥巴马只在它的生命。
….. … .. McCain’s first post-primary ad proclaimed him “ the American president Americans have been waiting for. ” Not the “ strong ” or “ experienced ” president, though those are contrasts he could seek to draw with Obama.麦凯恩的第一小学后的广告宣布他为“美国总统，美国人一直在等待 。 ”不“ 强 ”或“ 经验丰富的 ”总统，虽然这些都是对比，他可能寻求借鉴与奥巴马。 The “ American ” president — because that’s the only contrast through which McCain has even a chance of prevailing. “ 美国 ”总统-因为这是唯一的对比通过麦凯恩甚至一个机会，当时的。
Now, I mean to take nothing away from McCain’s Americanness by noting that it’s Obama’s story that represents a triumph of specifically American identity over racial and religious identity.现在，我的意思是采取带走任何东西，从麦凯恩的americanness由注意到它的奥巴马的故事代表的胜利，特别是美国身份的种族和宗教身份。 It was the lure of America, the shining city on a hill, that brought his black Kenyan father here, where he met Obama’s white Kansan mother.这是吸引美国，光辉的城市就一宗山火，带来了他的黑色肯尼亚的父亲在这里，他在那里会见了奥巴马的白人kansan的母亲。 It is because America is uniquely the land of immigrants and has moved beyond a racial caste system that Obama exists, has thrived and stands a good chance of being our next president.这是因为美国是唯一的土地，移民，并已超越了种族的种姓制度，奥巴马存在，繁荣兴旺和主张一个很好的机会被我们的下一任总统。
That’s not the America, though, that the Republicans refer to in proclaiming their own Americanness.这不是美国，虽然，共和党是指在宣布自己的americanness 。 For them, “ American ” is a term to be used as a wedge issue, a way to distinguish their more racially and religiously homogeneous party from the historically more polyglot Democrats.对他们而言， “ 美国 ”一词被用来作为一楔形的问题，有一个方法可以区分他们更多的种族及宗教均匀党从历史上更polyglot同盟。
The Republican attack against Obama all but ignores the issue differences between the candidates to go after what is presumably his inadequately American identity.共和党攻击奥巴马所有，但忽略了问题的分歧，候选人去后，什么是推测他的不足，美国的身份。 He is, writes one leading conservative columnist, “ out of touch with everyday America. ” His reluctance to wear a flag pin, writes another, shows that he “ has declared himself superior to an almost universal form of popular patriotism. ”他写道，一个龙头，保守的专栏作家， “ 脱离了日常的美国 ” 。他不愿意穿旗边，写另一个，表明他“ 已宣布自己优于几乎普遍的形式，普及爱国主义 ” 。
Should the election turn on the question of “ What are you going to do for America? ” rather than “ Are you a real American? ” Republicans are doomed.应选举之交关于“ 什么是你怎样做对美国呢？ ” ，而非“ 你是一个真正的美国 ” ？共和党人，是注定。
What remains for the GOP is a campaign premised more on issues of national identity, aimed largely at that portion of our population for which “ American ” is synonymous with “ white ” and “ Christian, ” …..[剩下的为共和党是一个运动的前提下更多的问题，国家认同，主要目的是在这部分我们的人口为“ 美国 ”就是“ 白 ”和“ 基督教， ” … … .. [ more 更多 ]
From Library Journal: A Republican campaign policy of “malign neglect” toward African Americans helped elect Republican presidents in every election from 1968 through 1992, with the exception of Carter in 1976, says Mayer (political science, Georgetown Univ.). 从图书馆期刊：共和党竞选政策“恶意疏忽”对非裔美国人的帮助，选出共和党总统在每一次选举从1968年至1992年，除卡特于1976年，迈尔说， （政治学，乔治城大学） 。 After Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act in 1965, no Democrat won a majority of white votes.之后，约翰逊签署了投票权的行为在1965年，没有民主党赢得多数白人的选票。 Mayer skillfully investigates the impact of race on presidential politics, without overemphasizing its importance compared with the economy and international relations.迈尔善于调查的影响，种族对总统政治，没有过分强调它的重要性相比，与经济和国际关系。
He is especially insightful in showing how Jesse Jackson hindered the hapless campaigns of Democrats Walter Mondale in 1984 and Michael Dukakis in 1988 and how Bill Clinton was elected to two terms with overwhelming African American support.他是在有见地，显示如何杰西杰克逊牧师，阻碍了不幸的运动同盟沃尔特蒙代尔在1984年和迈克尔杜卡基斯在1988年和如何比尔克林顿当选为这两个名词压倒性的非裔美国人的支持。
As African Americans continue to gain more wealth, economic class, not race, will frame policies and issues, Mayer concludes.作为非裔美国人继续得到更多的财富，经济阶级，而不是种族，将框架的政策和问题，迈尔的结论。 This excellent overview joins a number of recent investigations that discuss the connection between race and the presidency: DeWayne Wickham’s Bill Clinton and Black America, Dean Kotlowski’s Nixon’s Civil Rights, and Michael Gardner’s Harry Truman and Civil Rights.这一良好的概况加入了最近的一些调查，讨论之间的联系，种族和院长会议：人员Dewayne韦克汉姆的条例草案，克林顿和美国黑人，院长科特沃夫斯基的尼克松的公民权利，和迈克尔加德纳的杜鲁门和公民权利。
Mayer’s is the only book in memory that discusses race and all presidential elections of the last 40 years.迈尔的是唯一的图书在记忆体中讨论种族和所有的总统选举在过去的40年。 Highly recommended for academic and most public libraries.
