(PRWEB) February 27, 2008 -- Noted presidential historian David Pietrusza is available for media (radio, TV, print) interviews regarding historical parallels and precedents to 2008's unpredictable 2008 presidential race.
Pietrusza brings a unique, articulate, knowledgeable voice to the discussion of presidential nominations. Critics have compared David Pietrusza's work to that of Doris Kearns Goodwin and Gene Fowler. Kirkus Reviews honored his 1920: The Year of the Six Presidents as a "Best Books of 2007." His most recent book is 1960: LBJ vs. JFK vs. Nixon; The Epic Campaign that Forged Three Presidencies. (Union Square Press, September 2008)
Some topics for discussion:
? Barack Obama versus Hillary Clinton--charisma versus experience--the JFK-Richard Nixon comparison.
? How Fred Thompson repeated Lyndon Johnson's mistakes in 1960.
? Obama the first black president? Or the second?
? Deadlocked conventions--why they are not as common as they used to be.
? Does winning primaries always translate into winning nominations?
? The Republican comeback kid: Is John McCain the new Ronald Reagan--or the new James G. Blaine?
? Vice Presidential selections: super tickets and super disasters.
? The 1928 parallel--or the 1924?
? Alleged Presidential scandals: John McCain has nothing on Warren Harding or John F. Kennedy.
? Mitt Romney: The Herbert Hoover--or the Al Smith--of 2008?
? 1952: The last wide-open election.
? Tears in New Hampshire: Ed Muskie and Hillary Clinton.
? Controversial conventions/disputed delegates: 1912 (Roosevelt-Taft), 1952 (Taft-Eisenhower) and 1976 (Ford-Reagan) for the Republicans; 1968 for the Democrats (Humphrey-McCarthy).
? Third Parties: Will Mike Bloomberg replicate the Ross Perot model? The recent peril of third party tickets.
? The TR-John McCain comparison.
? Mike Huckabee: the William Jennings Bryan of the 21th century?
Kirkus Reviews called 1920: "A hugely fascinating episode in American history, told with insight and great humor, by an author in command of his subject."
Karl Rove said of 1920: "A great read--chock full of great insights and brilliant portraits."
Library Journal praised 1920 as: "Fascinating and compelling . . . Highly recommended."
Jonah Goldberg said regarding 1920: "I just love 1920: The Year of Six Presidents by David Pietrusza. It's not historical fiction, but plain old history that zips along like good fiction. I just wish I'd read it before I wrote my book."
Award-winning author David Pietrusza has appeared on such national outlets as C-SPAN, NPR, the History Channel, the Fox News Network, and ABC--and major local radio outlets as WNYC (New York City), XTRA (Los Angeles), KGO (San Francisco), and WJR (Detroit). He has been interviewed by everyone from Ann Compton to John Gibson to Linda Wertheimer to Donna Hanover to Neal Conan to Ray Suarez to Linda Vester to Bill Littlefield to Tim McCarver to the Sklar Brothers.
