Virginia in the Vanguard: Political Leadership in the 400-Year-Old Cradle of American Democracy, 1981-2006

Virginia in the Vanguard continues the story, begun in the Dynamic Dominion, of Virginiaâ€™s reemergence as a competitive, trend-setting state. In the 1980s, with Reaganâ€™s revolution underway in Washington, Democrats led by Chuck Robb and Doug Wilder, the nationâ€™s only African American elected governor, reclaimed the governorâ€™s mansion and focused attention on a centrist formula as a prescription for Democratic renewal nationally.

In the 1990s, hard-charging Republican George Allen reversed the partyâ€™s fortunes and propelled the GOP toward control of the stateâ€™s legislature and both U.S. Senate seats. Virginia in the Vanguard describes these and other dramatic events that have placed the 400 year-old cradle of democracy back in the forefront of American politics and produced two dynamic leadersâ€”Republican Senator George Allen and former Democrat Governor Mark Warnerâ€”widely touted as presidential timber.
