A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the White House 973.099 Fun

During this oh-so-long political year, this is a great book to pick up and read when you have some time. Beginning with the election of 1948 (Truman vs. Dewey) through the election of 2004 (Kerry vs. Bush), this book takes on a humorous journey guaranteed to bring many smiles to your face! No political party or candidate is exempt from criticism.
Goldwater said of Humphrey's long-windedness:
"Hubert has been clocked at 275 words a minute, with gusts up to 340."
The award for stating the obvious goes to Quayle, who said:
"A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls."
Just two examples to whet your appetite.
