We are pleased to serve as guest editors of this special double issue of The American Review of Politics. The articles, which follow all, relate to how the 2004 presidential election played out in the eleven states of the Old Confederacy and, at least by implication, to how partisan change in these states has impacted national politics. This series of articles largely reflects the concept and format of the series of five volumes, all published by Praeger Publishers, which we began with the 1984 presidential election. The first three of these volumes were coedited by us together with our friend and colleague, the late Tod A. Baker, with the last two volumes edited by us after Tod’s retirement.1 In all five volumes in the series, our contributors sought to place southern politics in the context of national politics, and they worked to provide insights into a politically increasingly important region of the country where partisan change since the 1960s has been pervasive across the region and where it has had powerful implications for the Republican Party and, in turn, our nation’s politics.References
