In his insightful and plainspoken manner, Mike Huckabee carries hope to Americans and provides practical solutions to current problems in our nation.
10. The Revolution By Ron Paul

At the very least, you’ll have something to throw at the TV as this endless campaign draws to a close!
If you’d like to win (U.S. addresses only), please leave a comment here saying which of these books you’d dig into first.
The winners of last week’s contests:
Hannah’s Dream: #32 Karen B., #133 Erma Hurtt, #82 Kimberly V.
Wow, Wow, Wubbzy prize pack: #98 Jill, #18 DJ, #21 Courtney
I’d start with “From Hope to Higher Ground”, then go to “Dream in Color.” Michael Moore’s book should be an interesting read as well.
I would definitely read “Mike’s Election Guide” by Michael Moore first
RON PAUL RULES!!!!!!
The Revolution by Ron Paul
“What You Should Know About Politics . . . But Don’t” looks like just what the Doctor ordered, to help figure out why everyone seems to have this pained look in their eyes. FEELS like “Party” definitions and beliefs have shifted around under our feet, and less and less clear that there is ANYbody out there that can be trusted… Information, we need information!!
What You Should Know About Politics . . . But Don’t
Given the other stuff that Michael Moore has come out with, I have faith that his “Election Guide” might clarify a few things… I can hope, anyway. And speaking of which, here’s hoping to be better informed by voting time — thanks!
The American Journey of Barack Obama because he will probably be our next President – hopefully!
I’d try the Huckabee first. I’ve heard him recently filling in for Paul Harvey on the radio, and I expect we’ll hear a lot more from him over the next four years.
The first that I’d read is “What You Should Know About Politics . . . But Don’t”….i love the whole political process and this is one that would give me the most insight about the process and things i wouldn’t normally hear.
I would read the Preacher and the Presidents first. Religion is very important to me and I am interested in how politicians mesh their faith with their duties as a public officer.
awesome giveaway!
Let’s see I would read The American Journey of Barack Obama by The Editors of Life Magazine and then Goodnight Bush by Erich Origen and Gan Golen.Well this is being transparent.Thanks
for the giveaway
Goodnight Bush
goodnight bush, can’t wait til we can truly say that.
I would read What You Should Know About Politics… But don’t first.
I would read Mike’s Election Guide By Michael Moore because he’s on the pulse of corruption.
I’d go with What You Should Know About Politics . . . But Don’t. Why not see what’s up before the big day?
I Would Read Goodnight Bush
MIKE’S ELECTION GUIDE
The Revolution By Ron Paul
Definitely “Goodnight Bush”
From Hope to Higher Ground.
Would love to read “Goodnight Bush”.
Michael Moore’s book
From Hope to Higher Ground – Mike Huckabee’s; that guy is great!
Hard Call sounds inspirational to me.
the barack obama book
I would have to say it would probably have to be either goodnight bush or the revolution. Please enter me.
I would start out reading Mikes election guide.
I’d really like to read What You Should Know About Politics . . . But Don’t
The American journey of Barack Obama!
Goodnight Bush
All of these books sound fantastic! It’s tough to choose which one I would read first. I guess I would have to start with the basics by reading “What You Should Know About Politics . . . But Don’t”. I always want to be as educated and informed as possible before making decisions.
I would read the last one first.What You Should Know About Politics . . . But Don’t by Jessamyn Conrad. This is the most confusing election yet and maybe one of the most important.
I would like to read Hard Call by John MaClain. I only read nonfiction and biographies. THis book sounds facinating.
Hard Call by John McCain
What a fascinating selection of books. I would enjoy reading all of them. As a former journalist, I’m always open to hearing all sides of the issues. If I win, though, the first one I’ll read is The American Journey of Barack Obama.
I would read Hard call!!
I would definitely start with Hard Call and I would probably “regift” the Michael Moore book. Thanks for the giveaway!

I would read the Ron Paul title: The Revolution.
Mike’s Election Guide…….because as far out as he sounds….he’s usually ‘right on the money’.

Michael Moore has been out spoken for a very long time. What is happening to America?
