Dear XXXXXX,

Join us this week for the newest episode of Bookcast. In this edition, we are speaking with Bush-Cheney '04 and RNC strategist Matthew Dowd, as he discusses his brand new book, Applebee's America: How Successful Political, Business, and Religious Leaders Connect with the New American Community, which he coauthored with former Clinton Senior Adviser Doug Sosnik and former AP Political Writer Ron Fournier.

Through years of experience as a strategist to candidates and corporations, Dowd has gained a unique perspective on how Americans make their choices; from which products they buy, to which candidates they vote for, to where they go to church, he asserts that Americans use their hearts more than their minds when making these day-to-day decisions. He also offers fresh insight as to how technology is changing our communities and lifestyles, and dispels many of the common myths regarding our connections to each other.

Listen now!

In this installment of Bookcast, Dowd discusses how everyone can use the "New American Community" to influence others in order to be more successful. Whether you are selling a cell phone or a candidate, the author offers insight on becoming more effective in your community by achieving a "gut values connection" with voters and consumers. Listen now as Dowd shares with us his perspective on connecting with the next generation of America.

Listen to Matthew Dowd discuss Applebee's America on Bookcast now!

Sincerely,

Kevin McLaughlin
Director of Broadcasting

1. Well, he chose the wrong damn party to work for this time.

His team is about to get clobbered in November.

3. Word on the street in my....

neck of the woods tells me you're right on the money.
Lots of disgruntled Republicans out there.
Don't see many pro-Bush stickers around Ft. Campbell these days.

And then there's the one I noticed recently on one
military families' SUV, right between two 'support the troops'
ribbon decals...

'I miss President Clinton'

2. At least he no longer has the AP to spread his propaganda.

With that said, he just hopped onto a sinking ship.

4. well, well, well

In 1993, I wrote to Ron Fournier and begged him to cover the conflict of interest inherent in the Bush family's profiting from war via the Carlyle Group. He wrote back to me that he had never heard of the Carlyle Group. I thought that was impossible, considering that he was the WH correpondent for the Associated Press.

Goddam.

5. I always felt that Fournier was enabling the Republicans.....

and doing so on AP's dime...meaning, he was able to spread news misinformation far and wide...which he did.

Now if only they would also hire Adam Nagourney from the NYT....cause I know that dude is GOP!
