This book "Game Change" is a poison pill.
Be careful about how you react to it. It's akin to a Kitty Kelly bio. Be cautious.

2. It's a "tell all" about the 2008 election.

6. Can't wait to read it either.
Heilbrun is a first rate journalist and anyone saying he's akin to Kitty Kelly is full of shit.

4. Yes,
it is. Funny, I haven't seen large portions of the Republican excerpts leaked out. The things I've read so far have made me feel icky, I'm not a consumer of tabloid gossip.

Like Marc Ambinder said - political scientists will not like this book. Sad that it was written by two "political analysts."

5. From a few paragraphs I read about it, "poison" seems appropriate
Guess it "launched" today?

7. Looking forward to it - and the authors have more credibility by far than Kitty
