Overview

It is almost an intrinsic part of American life to go to the polls on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November. Election Day is a time when all of the rhetoric, tracking polls, campaign events, television commercials and speeches are set aside. It is a time when Americans decide the future of their country and ultimately steer the course of history.

Overview

It is almost an intrinsic part of American life to go to the polls on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November. Election Day is a time when all of the rhetoric, tracking polls, campaign events, television commercials and speeches are set aside. It is a time when Americans decide the future of their country and ultimately steer the course of history.

Elections are the driving force of a democracy. They give us confidence in our government, establish legitimacy for our leaders and provide a voice to every citizen that chooses to engage in their right. In a world full of oppression and corruption, our democratic process is something that we take for granted. Until the recent presidential election cycles of 2004 and 2008, participation was at historic lows.

That began to change dramatically, particularly with young voters, as two heavyweights in the Democratic Party scrapped with one another over the first half of 2008. The election of 2008 is one that had unexpected twists and turns seemingly every week.

An Election to Remember: Obama, Clinton and the Never Ending Primary of 2008 is a look at this historic race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton from the perspective of a political blogger. Full of analysis, statistics and facts, An Election to Remember balances facts with partisan opinions. This book captures the intensity of the 2008 Democratic primary as it happened.

Meet the Author

Kyle W. Bell is a Political Science Major at Indiana University South Bend. He calls South Bend his home, where he was born and raised. He has always been an avid writer, perhaps explaining why he owns and manages two separate websites, each of them dedicated to different subjects. At the tender age of twenty-two, Kyle likes to think that his youth gives him the freedom to write openly and refrain from being overly cynical.

Kyle's main interests include writing, reading books, keeping tabs on the news, watching sports and being with both friends and family. In 2003, he founded the video game news and review website Game Freaks 365. His interest in politics drove him to create KyleBell.com in 2007, a political blog meant to generate ideas and debate on policy, as well as current events.

He is the recipient of the Indiana Black Expo's Martin Luther King Junior Award. It was won in an essay contest in 2002 writing about the perils of racial profiling in the wake of 9/11. The following year he was awarded with the Presidential Award for excellence in education. In 2011 his writing on sports development appeared in Indiana University South Bend's Undergraduate Research Journal.
