All too often politics is filled with stuffy righteousness that tends to lead most of the general public to tune out. Milbank actually captures the perfect pitch with this book. Just about ever piece of writing centering around the 2000 election chokes on chads the Florida ballots. Instead, Smashmouth focuses on the funny, the odd and the irreverent part of the campaign trail, from the primaries up to the recount. And trust me, there is a lot of odd and irreverent in Iowa & New Hampshire building up to the election. I actually hope he gets the itch to do it again for future elections, as I found the book quite funny and pointed. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Contrary to most media reports, negative campaigning is actually in decline, but our political system is no better off for it. Or so believes Washington Post political writer Dana Milbank, whose campaign book Smashmouth provides a witty yet ultimately very serious look at the sense and senselessness that occurred during the 2000 presidential campaign. What matters is not whether a campaign claim is positive or negative, but whether the claim is relevant," writes Milbank. "The press should police outright falsehoods, of course, but otherwise let the candidates fight it out." Traveling by bus, plane and motorcade with the candidates, Milbank provides an indelible behind-the-scenes look at the brutal skirmishes that made up this century's first presidential campaign.
