  13. Definately Mike’s Election Guide. Michael Moore is funny and thought provoking although I don’t always agree with him.

  15. I think the first book that I’d read would be From Hope to Higher Ground by Mike Huckabee.

  16. I would probably read Mike’s Election Guide By Michael Moore first. I have read a couple of his other books and although I don’t always agree, I find him insightful.

  22. I think I’d start with What You Should Know About Politics. After that, probably Mike’s Election Guide. You can always count on Michael Moore to have an opinion.

  23. On the very top of my book stack to read first would be The Preacher and the Presidents. I would love to win this fabulous collection of political books. Thank you for the opportunity to win!

  26. I would like to read “The American Journey of Barack Obama”.
    Thank you for the great giveaway. I’m always looking for a new good book to read.

  28. Hard Call By John McCain is the one I’d read first-he does have a way of supporting and honoring our military who protect and defend our great country!

  29. I really want to read WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT POLITICS…BUT PROBABLY DON’T. I want to be as informed as possible. Thanks.

  31. Goodnight Bush by Erich Origen and Gan Golen also looks interesting. Nice pakage, thanks

  34. I’d read Goodnight Bush first – I think we all could use a good laugh considering what the economy has been through lately. Then on to the more serious reading.

  35. I’d start with Goodnight Bush. And then The Revolution. Thanks for this giveaway!

  40. I’d read From Hope to Higher Ground by Mike Huckabee…I wouldn’t have voted for him for President, but he seems like a great guy with a good sense of humor and a down-to-earth way about him.

  42. I sure won’t be able to read all of them before the Election, but the One’s from Huckabee and Ron Paul will be the first ones I read. They were the only candidates to talk about eliminating the IRS.

  45. I’d like to read “Mike’s Election Guide”. I love Michael Moore’s documentaries. His book sounds really interesting.

  47. I’d read “Goodnight Bush” first. It sounds funny & I could always use a good laugh.

  50. I think Michael Moore is saying things that every American thinks about but afraid to do anything about
