Description:
Ever since Theodore White's classic The Making of the President, about the 1960 race, presidential campaign books have offered vital accounts of the nitty-gritty process of American politics at the highest level. The best of them have also offered rare insight into the deeper economic and social forces shaping our politics. Roger Simon is one of the most experienced, wise, and witty political reporters in the country, and in this book he offers both a dishy behind-the-scenes untold story of the key tactical moves and personalities behind each campaign, and deeper revelations about the forces applying pressure to and driving each campaign team. He also identifies the issues that most moved the electorate and why.
Expand description
Rather than focusing on the spin-meisters and the media show of the campaign, as he did in his last book, this time Simon focuses on the key set of power players in each campaign team and dissects the excruciating, mind-bending process by which they try to articulate policies they can believe in while also appeasing key constituencies and selling effectively to the public. The underlying theme running throughout the book is whether or not this election will open the way for the completion of the Reagan Revolution or validate the "Clinton correction, and whichever way the chips fall, to offer a shrewd, insightful analysis of why.
