Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin

Is this year's election season getting you down? Tired of all of the presidential campaigning? I'm here to suggest that you take a break from this year's campaign by reading about the 2008 campaign!!

This book is an insider's look into the 2008 presidential race. It follows Obama, Clinton, McCain, Palin, and even includes some Edwards in there. Who knows exactly how accurate this book is, but the authors claim that it was meticulously researched and that many of their sources independently reported the same conversations/interactions.

This was a fascinating, fun, and interesting read. It was also a great distraction! However, at 400+ pages, I'm only recommending this to those of you who have more than a mild interest in politics.

PS: Thanks to my cousin, Russ, for recommending this book to me!
