5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the budding political star., November 4, 2000
This review is from: Mean Business (Hardcover)
Whether you're looking to run for a spot on the local School board or just interested in what a candidate goes through to get elected, Mean Business is worth a read. It offers plenty of practical advice that can be applied to any election, and the "guest" authors such as Newt Gingrich and Dale Bumpers offer a lot of insight (and thankfully, they don't get into politics, just the campaign).

Overall, I'd recommend this book to anyone who is interested in politics.

5.0 out of 5 stars A How-To Book with Edge, June 21, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Mean Business (Hardcover)
A how-to book with edge! If you've ever thought about becoming a politician, or just wondered why they act like that, this is the book for you. It's packed with helpful hints, real-life examples and touched with the sort of humor that will keep you reading for the sheer fun of it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not What I Expected!, June 19, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Mean Business (Hardcover)
Having been personally involved in one of the author's political campaigns for quite a few years, I was disappointed with the content of the book. The comments regarding volunteers were very offensive and arrogant to me. I feel the book was very superficial as are most politicians. It would have been more enjoyable reading had they written more about their own personal experiences. They sold themselves short with this one.
