Really looking forward an insiders book on R's failed campaign



I know Frum has an e-book out already, but will be fun to read the authoritative, detailed story of this spectacular political failure we just witnessed. The money and human capital that went into this debacle will make for great reading and of course the subsequent movie. i suspect college courses will study this example of failure shrouded by the spin of the century.

The inside details should be enlightening as the campaign imploded, lulled by sitting in their own exhaust fumes. I am sure Woodward will have a 900 page tome out sometime next year, but hope their will be a good insider book which chronicles the disaster blow by blow so it can be savored like a fine wine forever.

Should start another thread with suggested titles....
