Book excerpt: Big Sky Politics is an overdue, detailed account of post-war politics in Montana. Starting with the break-up of the New Deal coalition in 1946 and ending with the most recent off-year election in 2002, Big Sky Politics lays out each general election for president, governor, U.S. Senate and Congress with well-researched commentary. Each summary has a detailed map showing which candidate each county supported. Photos, graphs, and certified election results complete the picture and bring each political contest to life. The author, Jon Bennion, is a native of Montana, born and raised in Billings. He has worked on compaigns at both the state and local levels. He is currently pursuing a law degree at the University of Montana in Missoula.
