1) Paperback Book Mike's Election Guide 2008 by Grand Central Publishing. I chose to review the man. Marxist, racist, makes American soldiers look like butchers. His "movies" are half truths at best. He has one agenda, and that is himself. This is done by using the fact that americans are too damn lazy to research anything, so they use him to get their opinions. If he hates this country so much, why does he not leave? Oh yea, we have made him millions, which is truly all he cares about.¤

2) Paperback Book Mike's Election Guide 2008 by Grand Central Publishing. I ordered the book on tape version and found it to be 100% worth the price! Not only is the book very informative and funny, but the fact that he read the book himself on the book-on-tape version made it all the better!! Even non-liberals will find humor and common sense in Moore´s latest work!¤

3) Paperback Book Mike's Election Guide 2008 by Grand Central Publishing. Not as funny as some of his other books, but more directly and immediately usable.¤

4) Paperback Book Mike's Election Guide 2008 by Grand Central Publishing. Mike is a very Truth´s Man! He want justice, as we want.
In Italy we have, as him, Beppe Grillo, that also accuse the evils of society. Luckily he is still alive because he is a comic actor.
Good luck Mike!¤

5) Paperback Book Mike's Election Guide 2008 by Grand Central Publishing. I found this book a mixed bag. Mr. Moore is, IMO, better at making films than writing books. His willingness to confront people is more interesting than the smarmy tone of his writing.

The first chapter, ´Ask Mike´ was mostly silly, consisting of straw man questions to which Mike provides occasionally amusing responses. It was bad enough that had the theme continued into the next chapter I would have given up.

Fortunately, Mike gets into gear with the Chapter 2 ´How to Elect John McCain . . . ´ in which he excoriates the Democrats for past weaknesses that, if continued, will lead to yet another defeat. Points well taken.

That said, the third chapter assumes an Obama victory and sets out ´Ten Presidential Decrees for His First Ten Days´. These are an admixture of some of Moore´s more radical ideas -- ´Anyone Who Tries to Make a Profit From Healthcare Will Be Arrested´ and some genuine goofiness -- ´Free HBO for Everyone!´ Sprinkled throughout are a few decent suggestions, e.g., have the rich pay more in taxes like they did after the New Deal and before Reagan.

Chapter 4, is, IMO, the best one in the book. Titled, ´Six Modest Proposals to Fix Our Broken Elections´ it offers a rather concise overview of how to improve the process. #2 pencil anyone?

Chapter 5 will definitely rile up some folks. Moore would like to see ALL of the crimes committed over the past eight years by members of Bush the administration adjudicated by the courts. He reprints the Articles of Impeachment submitted by Rep. Dennis Kucinich as an overview of those crimes and suggests a massive "perp walk" of the accused immediately after Obama is sworn in. Good luck with that; between a sadly politicized judiciary, the ´Get Out Of Jail Free´ card that most politicians seem to keep in their wallet and historical precedent, it ain´t likely to happen, even though it really should.

The final chapter deals with who to elect from individual states. Helpful if your state is included. Otherwise . . . inside baseball.

The appendices are somewhat sketchy but the first one is quite amusing. Moore subjects himself to the theatre that is right-wing media whenever he launches a new project. He helpfully provides them a guide to quoting him out of context, e.g., " . . . the terrorists . . . are my friends . . ." while demanding he explain himself (while they constantly interrupt) because he knows that´s exactly what will happen with those intellectual/moral fools/tools.

So, in sum, a mixed bag. My election prediction? Afterwards, used copies of this book will be readily available here at Amazon for $.01. Plus $3.99 for shipping via Media Mail.¤

After a diastrous war, the failure to catch bin Laden, millions of families who have lost their homes, the Katrina debacle, soaring gas prices feeding record oil company profits, and the largest national debt caused by the biggest spending and borrowing administration in American history, the country has had it with conservatives, right-wingers and Republicans. A thrilling election season is now upon us. Obama vs. McCain. One candidate has promised a presidency different from any other, one that will take us forward to embrace the hope of the 21st century. The other candidate says he has no idea how to use a computer.

Welcome to MIKE´S ELECTION GUIDE -- Michael Moore´s effort to make sense of the this fall´s race for the White House and Congress. In it, Moore answers the nation´s most pressing questions: "Why is John McCain so angry?,""Do the Democrats Still Drink from a Sippy Cup and Sleep with the Light On?," Can I get into the Electoral College with only a 2.0 gpa?" and "How many Democrats does it take to lose the most winnable election in American history?"

It´s a great year to be an American and a voter. Don´t miss out on all the fun! And don´t miss out on MIKE´S ELECTION GUIDE -- it´s the indispensable book that belongs in every American´s back pocket this season.
