It doesnt take a pundit to recognize that the Democratic Party has changed. With frustrating losses in the national elections of 2000 and 2004 and the erosion of its traditional base, the party of Jefferson and Jackson has become something neither would recognize.In this intriguing book, Jeff Taylor looks beyond the shortcomings of individual candidates to focus on the partys real problem: its philosophical underpinnings have changed in ways that turn off many Americans. Rankandfile party members may still hold to traditional views, but Taylor argues that those who finance, manage, and represent the party at the national level have become nothing less than Hamiltonian elitistsa stance that flies in the face of the partys bedrock Jeffersonian principles.Where Did the Party Go? is a prodigious work of scholarship that converts extensive research into an accessible book. Taylor offers up a unique twelvepoint model of Jeffersons thoughtas relevant to our time as to hisand uses it to appraise competing views of liberalism in the party during two key eras. Bypassing the wellworn assessments of highprofile Democratic presidents, he shows instead how liberalism from 1885 to 1925 was distinctly Jeffersonian as exemplified by the populism of William Jennings Bryan, while from 1938 to 1978 it became largely elitist under national leaders such as Hubert Humphrey who embraced a centralized state and economy, as well as imperial intervention abroad.In the first book to look closely at the ideologies of these two midwestern liberals, Taylor chronicles Bryans battles with the conservative wing of the partyputting todays conflicts in sharp historical perspectiveand then tells how Humphrey followed those who rejected Jeffersonian principles. By demonstrating how Jeffersons legacy has gradually weakened, Taylor clearly shows why the party has lost its place in Middle America and how its transformation has led to widespread confusion. His provocative look at the postHumphrey era considers why so many of todays voters on both the Left and the Right agree on issues such as economic policy, foreign relations, and political reformunited against elitists of the Center while rarely recognizing their common kinship in Jeffersonian ideals.If party leaders have wondered where their traditional supporters have gone, they might well consider that those very voters have asked what became of the party they once knew. Taylors book forces many to question where the party of Jefferson has gone . . . and whether it can ever come back.
