Salon surveys the books written by all the 2008 candidates for U.S. President. Apparently all but one candidate (Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif.?) has written and published a book.
Among the titles are A Prayer for America by Dennis Kucinich (”Have you texted Peace 73223? Do you advocate the abolition of all nuclear weapons? Are you a vegan? Yes? Then prepare to have your mind blown by the wacky stylings of Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, in A Prayer for America“); In Mortal Danger: The Battle for America’s Border and Security by Tom Tancredo; Living History by Hillary Rodham Clinton (”Hillary Clinton’s startlingly readable autobiography is one of those books that mostly sucks you in with the pictures”); A Foreign Policy of Freedom: ‘Peace, Commerce, and Honest Friendship‘ by Ron Paul (”Anyone who opposes the Iraq war can find something to agree with in his generally isolationist, libertarian, anti-neocon views about the role of the United States in the world. They’ll just have to ignore his views on a lot of the other topics not covered by this book, meaning the environment, civil rights, taxes, healthcare, abortion …”); and others by Bill Richardson, Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani, Joe Biden, Mike Huckabee, Christopher Dodd, Mike Gravel, Sam Brownback, John Edwards, John McCain, Barack Obama, and Mitt Romney.
Late breaking news: CNN is reporting (at 4:50 p.m. today) that Sam Brownback is withdrawing from the Presidential race. (Maybe he wants to devote more time to writing books?)
