This was a well written book. I was able to comprehend the steps that the Bush team used in their plight to win Florida. He introduces the reader to several key players in Bush's campaign run and includes excerpts from interviews with them which provide the reader with a first hand account of what actually happened. There was indeed method to this madness! It does, however, have a conservative lean; after all, he did interview Bush's top advisors for his campaign. He also hints the fact that the RNC had a meeting that touched on the possibilities of a recount way before it ever happened! Interesting, huh? I recommend this book to anyone interested in anything regarding the politics involved in the Florida election

Zelnick's exploration into the Bush v. Gore controversy serves as an entertaining narrative and gives personality to the faces behind the legal battle. With a twinge of Republican bias (and by twinge I mean satanic Bush worshiper), Zelnick recounts Election 2000 in an entertaining day by day story. If you're looking for insightful legal or political analysis into the decision, then this is the wrong place to look, however, if you want quick read to familiarize yourself with the Conservative perspective of the case, then this is a good buy.

The most unsettling thing about this book is it becomes clear that the news media, Gore's lawyers and many others, including the Florida Supreme Court, knowingly conspired to steal the election of 2000

The saddest thing to me was that both Gore and the media knew what they were doing, and that Bush had clearly won the election, and yet Gore continued to mount a case he AND his attorney's knew was a lie, and the media assisted in the plot by allowing attacks on Sec. Harris and any others who wouldn't "Play Ball"

This book is the single greatest case against allowing partisans to have any part in elections. The Gore team cared little about legal votes and less about the law.....

Algore's beard is a visible example of how much he believes in the Taliban code of justice.....our way or die.
