OPTION CHOICE Book

This is an amusing, fairly smart, but ultimately forgettable tale of an advertising guy with only minor connections to politics that gets sucked into the Ford campaign, and how they went to being down 29pts to losing by a whisker.

Perhaps I'm jaded by the many books since then. I enjoyed George Stephanopolis's "All too Human" a lot more, and it had somewhat similar content and humor, although Stephanopolis has a bit more reverence. While this is a brisk, easy read, and apparently is a cult classic amongst some political hacks, it's not a whole lot more than pretty good. Perhaps my expectations were too high.
