It seldom spends a lot of time precisely balanced in the middle providing a perfect balance of left/right thinking and action. We've seen this with the dramatic growth of on-line "journalists" or breed that Dan ...             Electing the President, 2000: The Insiders' View2 reviews University of Pennsylvania Press, 2001 A look back at Campaign 2000 There is much that can be learned from this compilation of the campaign strategists holding forth on Election 2000 -- much more so than in any of the other popularized accounts of the campaign and the "36 days." Especially if Bush and Gore wind up facing each other again in three years, this is a book to refer back to. Several things struck me from this volume. One of them was the completely ...             Eloquence in an Electronic Age: The Transformation o Political Speechmaking2 reviews Kathleen Hall Jamieson Oxford University Press, USA, 1990 The new eloquence of political oratory in a televized world Over a hundred years ago William Jennings Bryan delivered his famous "Cross of Gold" speech at the Democratic National Convention in a voice that was heard throughout the hall without any electronic amplification.

The authors are not ...             unSpun: Finding Facts in a World of Disinformation20 reviews Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2007 Un Spun- Finding Facts I loved the Book! Great information for someone that wants to learn the political system. Since there is so much propaganda out there, this was a great book to understanding some of it. Short and to the point...not a big book...but long on fact finding.             Beyond the Double Bind: Women and Leadership1 review Kathleen Hall Jamieson Oxford University Press, USA, 1995 What do Hilary Clinton and Ann Richards Have in Common?

Students invariably come away from reading Jamieson with a much deeper apprecation for politics--and what ails it. The strength of this text is in the attention to detail; specifically, Jamieson grounds ...             The 2000 Presidential Election and the Foundations of Party Politics (Communication, Society and Politics) Richard Johnston, Michael G.
