4.0 out of 5 stars Sarah Palin made me think of this book, September 3, 2008

I read this book years ago & thoroughly enjoyed its twisty plot and sardonic humor -- so much so that I re-read it a couple more times in subsequent years. But I hadn't thought of it again until this past weekend, when GOP presidential candidate John McCain picked largely unknown Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. Palin's politics are at the other end of the spectrum from the hero of "Dark Horse." But the process for how McCain picked her, her colorful background, and the series of revelations about her that followed, immediately made me think of this book. I may just have to re-read it again to find out what's going to happen next!

4.0 out of 5 stars After the 2000 elections, this book is far more entertaing!, March 12, 2005

Very entertaining... watching Eddie Quinn doublecross the bosses and the fat cats, only the hardest of the hard-hats could root against this happy represntative of the hard-hats.... the plot twists and turns throughtout the book.

It's hard to figure on who Eddie Quinn most reminds me of by today's political standards. Mix in a little Bill Clinton, a little bit of Ross Perot and a dash of "Dubya" and you have yourself an Eddie Quinn. By all accounts, this book will have you thinking of the 2000 election.

Also, most people don't know, but George Bush (the father) has read this book and really enjoyed it.
