Have you read Hardball: How Politics Is Played, Told By One Who Knows the Game? If so, give me a week or two to read it and we'll have some political banter.

I've read both versions, and 2 other books by Matthews. If we debate that, the city will have to be evacuated.

There isn't another book I'd recommend higher.

I read it back in... late 2005 going into 2006 so I'm not sure which edition I read. It was the required Winter Break reading for my AP Gov't class and probably the most worth wild thing I read that entire year. I'm pretty sure you and I see fairly eye to eye politically wise so I doubt there will be much to debate, but at least it could make for a fun discussion. I will go looking for it tomorrow at my school's library.

Ha, well I've been called "politically willey" (college friend, don't ask) so we'll see. The think about the Matthews book is, no single piece of literature has shaped my positioning on things quite like that. I'd be willing to gamble some good money on it giving you the guidelines on how to approach everything you'll face in a life time...

**** I love politics.
