The authors mention Tina Fey's Saturday Night Live impression of Sarah Palin, but don't convey the damage it inflicted by so deftly portraying her as a perky airhead (many now believe Palin actually claimed she could "see Russia from [her] house"; that was Fey.) On the whole, however, The Battle for America paints an insightful...
