Benston Blogs is pleased to be a stop on Author and Political Analyst, Earl Ofari Hutchinson’s Blog Tour for his book, How Obama Won.
How Obama Won is a provocative, hard hitting critical assessment of the issues, events, forces, politics, pressures and controversy that shaped and ensnared Barack Obama in his historic 2008 presidential campaign.
Political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson examines the impact of race and gender, campaign strategy, the key political players, the nature of presidential politics, the changes in the Democratic and Republicans parties, the importance of the black, Hispanic, youth, women and blue collar white worker votes, the role of corporation and special interests in American politics.
Hutchinson tells what the first African-American to win the White House means to America and the world.
How Obama Won
Hutchinson tells why:
Race was not a factor in Obama’s win
The Iraq war and the terrorism were not compelling issues in the campaign
Sarah Palin hurt McCain
Many blue collar whites and rural voters supported Obama

The economy ultimately sunk McCain
Obama’s win will and won’t change politics in America

Thank you so much for helping to spread the word and for posting such great information. I’ve been selling copies of the book and getting great feedback. I’ve never been interested in politics, but I like that Dr Hutchinson is unbiased in his writing. He gives both sides of the issue and explains what is happening, why and what impact that will have.
