7. I was surprised of how cheap this book is compared to others.
It is only $18.16 in B&N ($15.57 with membership card).

It's excellent. It's not light reading, but well-written and interesting. Gore digs deep into the causes of the public's disengagement.

9. I hope he leaves us with strategies to use
perhaps bring the debate back to civility without capitulating to the republicans and their snotty attitudes .

8. I saw her on cspan this morning and she said this was the book.
i am in an area where I cannot pick up the signal of the weak station that carries her. but, if she is on tv I always watch. i think she is amazing.

12. I'm thinking of reading it as soon as I finish
God is Not Great,by Christopher Hitchens. I wonder if Al explains why he never could--or didn't even try--to get Clinton to increase the mpgs, on American auto's.
