The problem with writing a book like this is that it can get dated very quickly. This book is no exception. The authors take the majority of this book to extol the virtues of Karl Rove. Unfortunately the authors take no time to really examine the record of Rove.

They admit that the percentage received by Bush in 2000 was several points less than he expected. However, they still extol the campaign as being a celebration of his talents. Unmentioned is that had all of the people that intended to vote for Gore actually done so, Bush and Rove would have a historical place slightly above Michael Dukakis and Bob Shrum.

Fortunately, the 2006 election and the aftermath has shown the fallacy of the Rovian principles as a governing strategy.

I recommend another book. ( )
