HOT OFF THE PRESSES: THE DECEMBER PRINT ISSUE. The latest print issue of the Prospect has dropped; you'll want to check it out. Two of the pieces are available as free previews to non-subscribers: Tom delves further into the data illustrating the northern realignment that these elections consolidated, while Ezra offers up some ideas for how Democrats can pursue smart policies that are also smart politics -- "prioritizing policies that strengthen, expand, and empower their coalition." Elsewhere on the post-election front, Jacob Hacker and Ruy Teixiera suss out the economic politics of these midterms, Drew Westen gets at the subliminal power of effective campaign appeals, and Congressman Barney Frank makes the case for worrying about -- and responding to -- economic inequality.
Spencer has a lengthy report on what the Baker-Hamilton commission will mean for the dynamics of the Iraq debate. Tara McKelvey investigates civil war in the ACLU. Jo-Ann Mort captures the predicament of Israeli Arabs. There's much more. Subscribers, enjoy! Non-subscribers, consider taking advantage of our temporary 6-issues-for-10-bucks deal and joining the happy ranks of Prospect readers.
