Fresh out of grad school, Allen Raymond joined the GOP for
one reason: rumor had it that there was big money to be made
on the Republican side of the aisle. From the earliest days of the Republican Revolution through
its culmination in the second Bush White House, Raymond
played a key role in helping GOP candidates twist the truth
beyond recognition during a decade of crucial and bitterly
fought campaigns. His career took him from the nastiest of
local elections in New Jersey backwaters through runs for
Congress and the Senate and right up to a top management
position in a bid for the presidency itself. It also took him to prison. Full of wit and candor, Raymond's account offers an
astonishingly frank look at the black art of campaigning and
the vagaries of the Republican establishment. Unlike many
"architects" of the political scene, the author takes full
responsibility for his actions -- even as he never misses a
trick. A completely original tale of the disillusioning of a man
who enters politics with no illusions, How to Rig an
Election is a brilliant and hilarious exposé of how the
contemporary political game is really played.
