America in the
Millennial Era
"Millennials,
born between
1982 and 2003,
now comprise
almost one-third
of the U.S.
population and
without their
overwhelming
support for his
candidacy,
Barack Obama
would not have
been able to win
his party’s
nomination, let
alone been
elected
President of the
United States.
This new,
“civic”
generation is
dramatically
different than
the boomers who
have dominated
our society
since the 1960s
and
understanding
this shift is
critical to
comprehending
the changes that
America will
experience over
the next forty
years. "

" In its
portrayal of
America's
future,
Millennial
Makeover is a
brilliant,
prophetic…and,
in some
respects, even
frightening
book."
—Sander Vanocur
"It has
everything, the
keys to the
kingdom of
politics, but
also to
marketing."
"The book is
Millennial
Makeover:
MySpace, YouTube
and the Future
of American
Politics, it's a
must-read if
you're a
political
junkie, and it's
especially a
must-read if
you're trying to
sell anything to
anyone anywhere
you'll want to
read this book."
—Hugh Hewitt,
author, law
professor, and
nationally
syndicated
broadcast
journalist
"The
authors of the
new book
“Millennial
Makeover,”
Morley Winograd
and Michael D.
Hais, point out
that the
so-called
millennial
generation
(dating from
1982) is the
largest in
American
history, boomers
included, and
that roughly 40
percent of it is
African-American,
Latino, Asian or
racially mixed.
One in five
millennials has
an immigrant
parent. It’s
this generation
that is fueling
the excitement
and some of the
record turnout
of the
Democratic
primary
campaign, and
not just for Mr.
Obama."
