great!

Lamar Alexander for 2000!!

Great whether running for office or interested in politics

Being a fellow Tennessean, I may be a little biased towards our former governor's newest literary endeavor, a little plaid book. Lamar Alexander's Little Plaid Book is a collection of quotes and short sayings that deal with the everyday topics of running for office. This includes topics such as dealing with the media and giving punctual speeches. The book is patterned after H. Jackson Brown, Jr.'s Life's Little Instruction Book series. Both are published by Rutledge Hill Press in Alexander's hometown of Nashville, Tennessee. A wise move for this likely presidential candidate, the book lends an air of optimism concerning the American political system. Alexander warms every American heart when he encourages people "to cherish their country and their freedom." Images of apple pie and farmers in wrinkled overalls come to mind when we are reminded "to pray for our leaders." After all, the Lord knows they need all the prayers they can get! This bo! ! ok was a great read.

Everything politics in that uniquely Lamar Alexander style

This is a heart-warming look at politics and public service with a Southern conservative perspective. It is a good snapshot of the campaign trail from someone with a wealth of experience. There is no question that these are lessons to live by for aspiring politicos or anyone wanting to make a difference in theur community.
