Crappy college textbooks: Not an isolated incident Here’s another gem from Politics in America, Fifth Edition, basic version, by Thomas R. Dye. In addition to some truly horrible writing, this book has the kind of mistakes that make you wonder where the editors have been living for the last 20 years. 
(In case you’ve been hiding out with the editors, Al Gore is not a Republican. He is a Martian.) They get extra points for leaving out a needed comma, making it sound as if New Hampshire had never hosted a Republican primary before. Duh.
