Wish Carol's book was running right behind him.

| 2. CMB's book was written in '96. She doesn't have a campaign year book. |

Furthermore, if you look into Edwards's book, I think you'd probably be proud to have it right behind Kucinich's.

| 4. This data is misleading... |
|
Based on these facts...
The Dean book has yet to be released so is not visible in bookstores.
The Kerry and Clark books are older than either the Kucinich or Edwards book...so presumably sold more a month or so back when the Kucinich and Edwards books were unavailable.
Also, the Carol Moseley Braun book was not written by her.
This is a snapshot in time, but I would be much more impressed with something like average sales per week.
Full disclosure would also ask that a book that has not even been released be treated in this list as if it had.

Some of the candidates have more than one book (Lieberman.) I had to pick the book that was either most recent or the biggest seller.
The CMB book was the ONLY one with her name on it.
I presume that, although these books came out at different times, because they running for president today, there's still something interesting that can be gathered by the rankings.
I should also note that these numbers swing wildly.

| 6. Comparing unreleased books (Dean's) with released books is misleading |
