No Way to Pick A President

Witcover reveals how professional mercenaries, driven by an insatiable need for money, are poisoning public life. Meanwhile, politicians encourage this development, responding to the demands of a media-driven age. Sharp and revealing.

As the United States marks its first presidential election of a new century, Witcover shows us how professional mercenaries -- with little party loyalty and diminished political principles, driven by an insatiable need for money -- are poisoning public life. At the same time, politicians themselves have condoned and even encouraged these developments, responding to the demands of a media-driven age in which the press corps pursues its own quest for celebrity and financial reward.Sharp, revealing, and rich with anecdotes, No Way to Pick a President offers a wealth of presidential history, from the role of the vice president''s office to campaign funds, television and the electoral college.
