The Big Enchilada: Campaign Adventures with the Cockeyed Optimists from Texas Who Won the Biggest Prize in Politics

Six years ago he ran a baseball team. Now he's the leader of the free world. In this book, ""the Bush campaign's Renaissance man"" (Time) charts George W. Bush's wild and improbable path to the White House. ""Stevens, get in here and let's bond!"" cried the governor. It was June 1999, and Stuart Stevens had just arrived in Austin, Texas from New York City to join a close-knit group of Texans dedicated to propelling a one-term governor into the White House. They faced formidable obstacles, from a nation enjoying peace and record prosperity to an experienced opponent aided by seasoned advisers who bragged that the campaign would be ""a slaughterhouse."" But Texans, as Stevens learned, are a confident bunch, and the Bush crowd always thought they could pull it off, even on the brink of losing. The New Yorker has praised Stevens for having ""a wonderful eye for the curiosities of human behavior,"" and here he tells the surprisingly funny story of the Bush campaign the public never saw--from the Austin coffee shop where he watched Karl Rove sketch out the Republican master plan on a napkin to Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, where the blue-jeaned future president prepared for the make-or-break debates no one expected him to win. Here's the inside dope on the rise and flame-out of John McCain, the struggle to come up with a message to trump a booming economy (""Times have never been better. Vote for a change,"" they joked), the Bush team's ""under-the-radar"" campaign to steal West Virginia and Tennessee from the Democrats, and the fierce debate over tough anti-Gore spots that Bush refused to air. (The ads included footage of Al Gore describing his background as a tobacco farmer--""I've raised it, I've sold it...""--intercut with shots of him crying as he described his sister's death from cancer.) Here too is the story of how the campaign and the GOP vied for control of the Republican convention, how Bush himself drew a line in the sand and refused to use polls to devleop policy (a common practice within campaigns), and a backstage look at the elation and despair of election night at the ""campaign mother ship."" No political insider has ever written so superbly, and no superb writer has ever gotten so far inside. Inside Straight is the story of the hand the Bush campaign drew and how it was played to the hilt--and to the White House.
