Currently Reading : Game Change

What: “Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime”

Why: This book was assigned as required reading for this summer’s session of the Women’s Campaign School at Yale which I’ve received a scholarship to attend.

First Impressions: Although I’m very familiar with the events of the 2008 presidential race, this book has much more biographical information than I expected it would. It gives a real sense of all of the personalities involved (not only of the candidates themselves). It also delves into the process of decision making that all campaigns must employ.
