Renegade

There will be many Campaign 2008 (aka Obama) books out over the next year or two. A first journalistic take out of the gate was reviewed in the Washington Post, Renegage, by Richard Wolfe. Interestingly, the reviewer, Ted Widmer, mentions the true standard for campaign books by journalists: Theodore White and his "Making of the President" series. (The 1960 Kennedy=Nixon election was the best of the best.) Sadly, though Widmer gives the book a positive review, I'm left unimpressed. Read the review here.
