Description 1 online resource (x, 190 pages) : illustrations Summary The huge crowds for Obama and the disappointing turn-outs for other candidates and the agony and excitement of the 2004 Presidential campaign between Bush and Kerry echo the mad frenzy of earlier, low-tech campaigns. How much does it depend on the competing candidates, and how much the campaign staff? In important ways, little has really changed in the fundamental nature of presidential campaigns, presidential politics and presidential lives. In these pages, a Nixon man shares incidents and anecdotes that illuminate the inner workings of a presidential campaign and life in the White House, revealing touching moments and flashes of personality from the controversial Nixon years. He gives a sense of the adrenaline, the quick thinking and the humor that are part of the terrain when working for a campaign. These are small items, some serious, some humorous -- telling little moments not likely to be addressed in the writings of more famous authors. This is a collection of the stories that contribute to the drama of a campaign, of views from Pennsylvania Avenue, and with them some opinions on several White House personalities Notes Print version record Subject Nixon, Richard M.
