Why Not Me? The Inside Story of the Making and Unmaking of the Franken Presidency

The tongue-in-cheek story of Al Franken's presidential campaign from its infancy to the behind-the-scenes story of Team Franken, the candidate's brain trust (including brother and deputy campaign manager Otto, a recovering sex addict and alcoholic; campaign manager Norm Ornstein, the think-tank policy wonk who masterminds the single-issue (ATM fees) campaign; media consultant Dick Morris, who expoits the shocking millennium bug-induced "ATM meltdown" by building an ad campaign around a diabetic woman who loses her right foot after computers erase all her ATM deposits; and former Grizzley Adams star Dan Haggerty), to Franken's Democratic nomination and landslide election, to his all-Jewish Cabinet selection, and finally to the story inside the Franken White House where his presidency faces its ultimate crisis.
