Dr. Drew Westen's The Political Brain: The Role of Emotion in Deciding the Fate of the Nation is a must read. Democratic leaders and strategists ought to study it closely yet I'd submit good Progressives need to as well. A good preview of his book comes from Winning Hearts and Minds: Why Rational Appeals Are Irrational If Your Goal is Winning Elections, a HuffPo piece he put up back in the middle of 2007. A Professor of Psychology at Emory, he also has a consulting effort going up there in Atlanta. John Gunn
