Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty. * CHOICE, Vol. 45 No. 6 (February 2008) * Andrew Busch provides a fascinating tale of the vagaries of constitutional argument in a campaign context, and that tale comes none too soon. -- . * Journal of Law & Politics, May 2008 * In The Constitution on the Campaign Trail Andrew Busch uncovers a fascinating pattern that will interest students of political rhetoric, campaigns, and American political development. Busch finds that the Constitution is neither dead nor alive in this comprehensive study of campaign rhetoric. In this book a straightforward content analysis of references to the Constitution over the course of American history is transformed into a subtle and detailed account of a cultural twilight zone in which periodic bursts of constitutional enthusiasm punctuate a long-term decay of democratic discourse. -- Jeffrey K. Tulis, associate professor of political science, University of Texas at Austin, and author of Rhetorical Presidency
