Review: "Obama's state senate career and his decision to enter the U.S. Senate race are examined in this book. The authors analyze Obama's ability to speak to the concerns of multiple constituencies by appealing to a coalition of voters that transcends race, class, and gender. As his presidential run has demonstrated, Obama gives new meaning to the American dream."--BOOK JACKET.
