The Buying of the President
Author: Charles Lewis, Alejandro Benes, Meredith O'Brien

IS THE OVAL OFFICE FOR SALE TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER?This year's presidential election is already one for the record books: the most obscenely expensive race in history. Some of the leading aspirants have already run tens of millions of dollars through their political war chests, and Election Day 2000 could bring the American people their first "$2... more »00 Million President." Why and how has the process of choosing a President moved from the voting booth to the auction block? In The Buying of the President 2000, Charles Lewis and the Center for Public Integrity shine their spotlight on the special (and often secret) interests that have heavily invested in the politicians who are seeking the nation's highest office. This incisive and eye-opening book has been widely acclaimed as the authoritative guide to special interests that are bankrolling the presidential contenders--Democrat, Republican, and Independent, major contender and "dark horse" alike. Here, and nowhere else, you'll find the answers to questions like these: Which candidate made a cool $15 million in a sweetheart deal arranged by his top political patrons? Who is secretly pushing to abolish the corporate income tax?How has one candidate turned his presidential campaign into a gravy train for himself and members of his family? How did one candidate become a millionaire with a series of by-invitation-only investment deals? Can you afford not to read The Buying of the President 2000?
