Looking Forward To It: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying & Love the American Electoral Process by Stephen Elliott, from St. Martin's Press, ISBN 0312424159. This is the chronicle of one ordinary fellow's skeptical - and hilarious - examination of the election process. On the campaign trail he meets washed-out campaign managers, idealistic publicists, corrupt journalists, world-weary auditorium janitors, recovering drug addicts and, of course, politicians. His report documents a journey into the center of "the thing," our country, where Americans high and low come together to participate in the most profound gesture of democracy: the election.
