Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.Sample Book Insights: #1 The race for the Republican nomination began in Manchester, New Hampshire. I visited the porn-video store Forbidden Fruit, and the headquarters of Phil Gramm, who was campaigning for president.#2 The Gramm campaign has spent $20 million of other people’s money to persuade voters that he is more fiscally responsible than anyone else in the race. The main result has been to scare off serious contenders.#3 Gramm was very pro-family, and he treated the Conways as if they were archetypes. He did not explain how he would balance the budget, except for a felonious diagram he used to show how much money the typical American family would save from the resulting decline in interest rates.#4 The senator is charming enough, but he is no match for Clinton, who floats above the Republican primary like a hot-air balloon with a smiley face painted on its side. Gramm lacks the ability to seem interested in what others have to say.
