This text presents a treatment of the White House role in re-election efforts of contemporary presidents since 1956. It examines eight re-election campaigns from Eisenhower through to Clinton. The author considers the differences and similarities of each White House led effort, analyzing the political, institutional and policy factors that affect the strategies and decisions. From this she develops a typology of three standard types of campaigns: "victorious", "defeated" and "take-over", offering observations and insights that are invaluable for understanding presidential re-election efforts.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Amazing perspective and fills a "GAP" in Pres. Elections,
By
This review is from: Presidents as Candidates: Inside the White House for the Presidential Campaign (Politics and Policy in American Institutions) (Hardcover)
I truly loved this book. it is a bargain at twice the price. Can't afford not to get this anthology on the public and private lives on presidents. Especially in an election year, you can not pass the opportunity to get behind the scenes and experience this first hand. After reading this, I felt like I almost grew up with the author. Excellente'!

Presidents As Candidates,
By
This review is from: Presidents as Candidates: Inside the White House for the Presidential Campaign (Politics and Policy in American Institutions) (Hardcover)
Great insight from the most prolific writer in the most prolific Dunn (no e) family. Compelling, humorous, exuberent , stupendous, supercalafragilistic, expee, aladoucous....what else can I say. I feel as though I know the author. My only negative comment is that I wish there were more pictures...of Kathryn.
