Turnip Day
By: Klein, Joe
Published by: Doubleday Publishing
People on the right are furious. People on the left are livid. And the center isn’t holding. There is only one thing on which almost everyone agrees: there is something very wrong in Washington. The country is being run by pollsters. Few politicians are able to win the voters’ trust.

Using Terri
By: Jon B. Eisenberg
Published by: Harper Collins (UK)
The Terri Schiavo case was a key battle in a larger political struggle over abortion, stem-cell research, physician-assisted suicide, gay rights, and the appointment of federal judges. The religious Right chose to make it a national spectacle because they thought they could win. They were wrong. But there are many more battles to come. Jon Eisenberg , who served as one of the lead attorneys on Michael Schiavo's side, exposes the religious Right's strategies and follows the money trail to reveal how they are organized, who is funding the movement, and where we can expect future legal maneuvers to combat the American traditions of autonomy and freedom.

Voice of Reason: Why the Left and Right Are Wrong
By: Owens, Ronn; Press, Bill; Hannity, Sean
Published by: John Wiley & Sons, Inc
Voice of Reason shows why both the Left and the Right are to blame for America's current problems. Preoccupied with hating each other, liberals and conservatives are polarized by issues, suspicious of each other, and inflexible in their beliefs. But Voice of Reason is a breath of fresh air in today's toxic political climate. With elections coming in 2004, America needs a voice from the middle and Ronn Owens is that voice.

Way Out There in the Blue: Reagan, Star Wars and the End of the Cold War
By: FitzGerald, Frances
Published by: SIMON & SCHUSTER
The idea that America should have an impregnable shield against nuclear weapons was Ronald Reagan's invention. He called on scientists to produce it, giving rise to the Strategic Defense Initiative. SDI turned into a multibillion-dollar research program, and played a central role in U.S.-Soviet relations at a crucial juncture in the Cold War. Here's the story.

By: Samples, John

Whistling Past Dixie
By: Schaller, Thomas F.
Published by: SIMON & SCHUSTER
Two generations ago Kevin Phillips challenged Republicans to envision a southern-based national majority. In Whistling Past Dixie, Tom Schaller issues an equally transformative challenge to Democrats: Build a winning coalition outside the South.
The South is no longer the "swing" region in American politics -- it has swung to the Republicans. Most of the South is beyond the Democrats' reach, and what remains is moving steadily into the Republican column. The twin effects of race and religion produce a socially conservative, electorally hostile environment for most Democratic candidates. What's wrong with Kansas is even more wrong in the South, where cultural issues matter most to voters.
Yet far too many politicians and pundits still subscribe to the idea that Democrats must recapture the South. This southern nostalgia goes beyond sentimentality: It is a dangerously self-destructive form of political myopia which, uncorrected, will only relegate the Democrats to minority-party status for a generation. The notion that Democrats should pin their hopes for revival on the tail of a southern donkey is no less absurd than witnessing the children's variant of the party game, for both involve desperate attempts to hit elusive targets while wandering around blindfolded.
Meanwhile, political attitudes and demographic changes in other parts of the country are more favorable to Democratic messages and messengers. The Midwest and Southwest are the nation's most competitive regions. There are opportunities to expand Democratic margins in the Mountain red states while consolidating control over the reliably blue northeastern and Pacific coast states. Before dreaming of fortynine-state presidential landslides like those of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, the Democrats ought to first figure out how to win twenty-nine states. And that means capturing Arizona -- or even Alaska -- before targeting Alabama.
Republicans cannot win without the South, Schaller argues,

White House Ghosts
By: Schlesinger, Robert
Published by: SIMON & SCHUSTER
In White House Ghosts, veteran Washington reporter Robert Schlesinger opens a fresh and revealing window on the modern presidency from FDR to George W. Bush. This is the first book to examine a crucial and often hidden role played by the men and women who help presidents find the words they hope will define their places in history. Drawing on scores of interviews with White House scribes and on extensive archival research, Schlesinger weaves intimate, amusing, compelling stories that provide surprising insights into the personalities, quirks, egos, ambitions, and humor of these presidents as well as how well or not they understood the bully pulpit.
