Would love to read “Goodnight Bush”. Regardless of political affiliation, it looks funny! Thanks!
I’d start with reading Goodnight Bush to my son.
I would probably start by reading What You Should Know About Politics…But Don’t. I know there’s more I should know, but I’m not always sure where to start!
I think I would probably read “Goodnight Bush,” because it would be a quick and easy (and probably funny) read. Of the other books I would probably read “Dream in Color” first, because I love reading books about women who are leaders.
I’m interested in The Amercian Journey of Barak Obama… only because I’m a registered Republican and I think that I need to know more about the Democratic nominee before I make my final decision.
I think I’d start with Takeover By Charlie Savage, but that Goodnight Bush might be calling to me more, looks funny but I think you can find it online 🙂
Oh, my husband would realllyyyy enjoy these. Please include us! 🙂
Thank you!!!!
OOps sorry—meant to say that we’d enjoy Ron Pauls’ The Revolution and also Goodnight Bush…
Probably The Preacher and the Presidents. It sounds interesting.
I blogged the giveaway too: http://2kidsandtiredbooks.blogspot.com/2008/10/giveaways.html
I think that I would enjoy reading “Dream in Color” first. Out of the list it appeals to me most.
I’d read Huck’s book first!
“From Hope to Higher Ground” by Mike Huckabee!”
These would be great for our whole family to read!
Please enter me in your fabulous book drawing. Many thanks…..Cindi
I think I’d pick up “From Hope to Higher Ground” first. Although they all look intriguing.
Thanks!

I would have to start with Michael Moore’s book. His opinions are always interesting.
I would first read :”What You Should Know About Politics . . . But Don’t”
I could learn more.
I’d read this What You Should Know About Politics . . . But Don’t first so I can get caught up before the election.
I would love to dig into and read Hard Call and Her Way first of all.
I’d start with Takeover to see how much more I’d learn than I did by reading Lincoln Chafee’s book Against the Tine.
I would love to read The American Journey of Barack Obama !
Dream in Color. The Sanchez sisters seem like a very inspiring duo. I’d love to read about what their family life was like growing up.
I am far from knowledgeable about politics, so I would read the Conrad book first. I would probably need it to understand the other books.
I think I’d start with Hard Call- I like reading about people in tough situations.
Think I would dig into Her Way to see what it’s all about. My hubby would love to read these books!
I would first read The American Journey of Barack Obama By The Editors of Life Magazine. I think my father would love to read these with me! It would be good coffee talk!
Must say this is the most unique giveaway I’ve seen in awhile.
I think that I would read “Hard Call” by John McCain. Great giveaway!
I would read Mike’s Election Guide By Michael Moore. Love to hear what he has to say.
“Good Night Bush” or “Her Way” would be at the top of my list. Shortly followed by “The American Journey of Barack Obama”. I find politics a very interesting subject. I know not everyone enjoys them and even i sometimes wish i didnt have to hear about it. This would be a greta break from political tv coverage that i hear 24/7.
I would start with Hard Call
my husband would go goo goo ga ga over these books! Im sure he would read the book about Obama first. Thanks for the giveaway!
This would be a dream prize for me and my boyfriend. These books would give us something to discuss and argue about this winter! The book I am most interested in reading is The Revolution.
I would start with Hard Call. It would be interesting to see who is chosen as the leaders, and what decisions they had to work through. The liberal books would make good presents for mindless friends.
I would have to start with Goodnight Bush, just for the humor! But I really think I could read them all. They all sound like thought provoking books.
Great giveaway!
I’d probably start with “Hard Call”. This is an amazing giveaway! Thank you so much!
I would read “The American Journey of Barack Obama” first as I am an avid Obama supporter.
I would read Her way, first.
I’d read Mike’s Election Guide By Michael Moore. I love Michael Moore, so I’d enjoy this, I think. 🙂
Thank you!!
American Journey of Barack Obama
I’d read Hard Call first, then read the others.
What You Should Know About Politics…But Don’t is what I would read first!
I would read Ron Paul’s book The Revolution. I was interested in him during the primary season but did not get enough info so would like to know more more.
from hope to higher ground by mike huckabee
The American Journey of Barack Obama by The Editors of Life Magazine 🙂
Goodnight Bush
The Michael Moore one..though he frequently irritates me ( and I’m a Liberal!)…I do find that he makes me think.

From Hope to Higher Ground by Mike Huckabee
Mike’s Election Guide By Michael Moore, The American Journey of Barack Obama, Goodnight Bush, Takeover…all tied for first!
