Inhaltsangabe
As the United States marks its first presidential election of a new century, Witcover shows us how professional mercenaries -- with little party loyalty and diminished political principles, driven by an insatiable need for money -- are poisoning public life. At the same time, politicians themselves have condoned and even encouraged these developments, responding to the demands of a media-driven age in which the press corps pursues its own quest for celebrity and financial reward.Sharp, revealing, and rich with anecdotes, No Way to Pick a President offers a wealth of presidential history, from the role of the vice president's office to campaign funds, television and the electoral college.

Review
"With solid history and a wealth of compelling anecdotes, Witcover crafts a clear-eyed denunciation of how we choose our president". -- Mother Jones
From the Back Cover
For all the confusion and frustration over the way the 2000 presidential election ended, it did serve the useful purpose of proving how far things have gone wrong. Veteran reporter Jules Witcover has covered every presidential election since Eisenhower and in No Way to Pick a President, he blasts the current system, from the money-drenched, front-loaded primaries to Election Day itself. Sharp, revealing, and rich with presidential history, No Way to Pick a President takes a journey through the debased thickets of presidential campaigning and concludes with an intelligent set of prescriptions to improve the way America selects its leaders.
