by Joe Biden
Now that Biden's been added to the ticket, I've added his book to this list. In taking a careful look at the Amazon reviews (these political books draw out the rabid fans) it seems that the book, despite not being a big seller, is a solid, interesting read.

by Kaylene Johnson
Amazon says:
In 2006 an angel-faced but tough 42-year-old former small-town mayor named Sarah Palin became a long-shot candidate for Alaska governor demanding a higher ethical standard in state government. The timing of her reform message and a widening scandal produced a tornado that reshaped the political landscape. Surprising everyone, Palin thumped by wide margins both a sitting governor in the Republican primary election and a former governor in the general election to become Alaska's first female chief executive and its youngest ever.
