Dick Gregory's Political Primer
The noted political analyst and commentator (and sometime candidate) Dick Gregory offers here an antidote for Presidential puff biographies, campaign rhetoric, party platforms, and convention-itis with a candid handbook for the wary voter. With double-edged humor, he explores the labyrinth of the electoral process - the mysteries of the electoral college and the seniority system; the problem of choice between the two major parties (and alternatives "from Huey Long to Huey Newton"); the use and abuse of primaries; the comedy of conventions; the comparative cost of gaining various "seats" - the Governor's chair, seats in Congress, the White House ("with that kind of money I could run for God...and win!"). (from book cover).
