Description

The 2008 campaign for President of the USA has
attracted more attention and prompted more people
to get out and vote in caucuses and primaries than
any other. It has also been kind of crazy: the initial
line-up of contenders were a black man, a woman, an
Italian-American, a POW held in solitary confi nement
for years, a millionaire Mormon, a Latino, a bass guitar
playing former preacher and a Vegan who has seen a
UFO. Vote for Me reveals what it takes to become president
of the biggest democracy of them all. Written by
Australian journalist and News Radio presenter John
Barron, who happens to be a US politics junkie, Vote
for Me is a fascinating, funny and, at times frightening,
look at the way the USA picks its President.
