First-hand accounts from across the spectrum detail the trials and tribulations of primaries for Ted Kennedy, Oliver North, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton; fraught Senate races fought with direct mail; and down-and-dirty tricks pulled in local elections. The variety of funny foibles and lessons learned makes for an engaging celebration of the democratic process and the campaign trail"-- Provided by publisher Notes Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on June 15, 2018) Subject Political campaigns -- United States Political consultants -- United States.
