This detailed overview and analysis of the results of Barack Obama's historic 2008 presidential win gives us the inside state-by-state guide to how Obama achieved his victory, and allows us to see where the country stood four years ago.

Although much has changed in the nearly four years since, How Barack Obama Won remains the essential guide to Obama's electoral strengths and offers important perspective on his 2012 bid.

The votes in each state for Obama and McCain are broken down by percentage according to gender, age, race, party, religious affiliation, education, household income, size of city, and according to views about the most important issues (the economy, terrorism, Iraq, energy, healthcare), the future of the economy (worried, not worried) and the war in Iraq (approve, disapprove).

Reviews for How Barack Obama Won: A State-by-State Guide to the Historic 2008 Presidential Election

'Quoting Death in Early Modern England is convincing about the significance of epitaphs in early modern texts... Yet the strength of the book is in its thorough and clear treatment of a subject less tangential than a reader may first suspect.' - Jack Heller, Appositions: Studies in Renaissance/Early Modern Literature & Culture 'This is a stimulating exploration of a neglected genre and Newstok is an adroit commentator on the emergence and circulation of the early modern epitaph.' - Peter J. Smith, Times Higher Education 'This lively and thought-provoking book...is an ambitious and largely successful study, encouraging us to understand not merely how Renaissance epitaphs transcended their traditional Christian commemorative functions, but how a variety of concerns with epitaphic closure were intimately related to an emergent idea of authorship itself. - Peter Marshall, Times Literary Supplement 'The very last part of the book ... is liberated from notes, and the reader can clearly follow and appreciate Newstok's contentions... he eloquently expresses all that one would seek of the nature and purpose of an epitaph. The book is attractively bound and presented, with full references and an extensive bibliography.' - Rosemary Greentree, Parergon
