The Authors
Michael Barone, senior writer at U.S. News & World Report and a Fox News Channel contributor. The Chicago Tribune says, "Michael Barone is to politics what statistician-writer Bill James is to baseball, a mix of historian, social observer, and numbers cruncher who illuminates his subject with perspective and a touch of irreverence." His most recent book is Hard America, Soft America, published by Crown Forum in 2004.

Richard E. Cohen brings to the Almanac 28 years of experience covering Capitol Hill. He is the 1990 winner of the Everett McKinley Dirksen Award for distinguished reporting on Congress and National Journal's congressional correspondent since 1977. Cohen is the author of several books about Congress, including a biography of former Rep. Dan Rostenkowski.
