A must have for political junkies

I was forwarded the bio of this book from on of my professors and knew immediately I wanted to read it. I read it in one sitting, a new record for me, and was really pleased. The story of Lance Pressl's candidacy kept me engaged the entire time. One of the best I've read in my field. Thank you Edward Sidlow for writing such a splendid book. And I repeat A MUST HAVE FOR POLITCAL JUNKIES and anyone who wants to work for or run as a canidatee for office.

A Surprisingly Great Story!

I came across this book and was expecting another political yawner .... instead, it was REALLY good. It is written in an easy, engaging style that captures your attention even though you have never heard of any of these people before!! It was interesting to see the inside story especially coming into a presidential election year. I'd love to see a book like this on the national level. How about it Dr. Sidlow?!
