5 out of 5 stars A Superb Compilation of Articles from C&E Magazine   May 21, 2006

5 out of 5 found this review helpful

This book is a compilation of practical political advice, originally published as articles in the excellent Campaigns and Elections Magazine, published by the author.

The chapters/articles are organized in a very sensible format, highly accessible, and well labeled for easy reference. It is a work that will be of great practical value to campaign managers and consultants of both major parties as well as third parties. It covers the basics, of course, but also discusses more sophisticated aspects of topics like fundraising, precinct targeting, media strategy, polling, and the like.

Every person serious about political work, especially professionals, should have this book for ready reference for themselves or those they work with. Even though campaign professionals know this subject matter by heart, not all they work with do, especially candidates. I would recommend having it on hand for candidate school, orientation, or simple explanation of what the consultant is trying to convey in advising a candidate or manager.




5 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource for any campaign!   October 25, 2005

This book is an excellent resource for anyone involved in electoral campaigns. I will never regret my purchase. A must read for political activists!

This book is a compilation of years of columns that appear in Campaigns & Elections Magazine. Not quite your "A Guide to Campaigns", but still is full of useful information for any political campaign.



5 out of 5 stars Best book on managing political campaigns!   July 27, 2004

This big, hardcover book of almost 700 pages and over 100 chapters covers everything you need to know about managing and running political campaigns. It includes the best advice from the best political consultants in the business, from Ron Faucheux to over 100 others. Nobody should attempt to study elections or run a campaign for a small or large office without reading this incredible book, cover to cover. It is a superb collection!

This is a great primer for getting into the political landscape as a politician or a consultant for politicians.

Winning Elections is a compilation of articles that have been assembled by Editor, Ronald Faucheux. As a newcomer to politics I found this book to be especially informative. It is about processes and strategies that campaigns employ. This book, however, is not a beginner's book. It is not about building a campaign, or learning the nuts and bolts of campaigns. It is much more than that. This book is meant to build upon existing skills that successful managers and consultants are doing. In reality, there are not set right or
wrong ways to do anything, but this book serves as a platform for idea sharing.
