Oh, Waiter! One Order of Crow!: Inside the Strangest Presidential Election Finish in American History Reviews

  This book was a wonderful review of the 2000 presidential Election which put "W" into office. Jeff Greenfield writes the story from a humorous and fairly unbiased perspective. It's interesting reliving that night again and all of the raw emotions I was feeling regarding the outcome.

  2000 was the first presidential election I voted in and it was while I was studying Political Science in college, so I remember that time vividly. Greenfield does a great job of reviewing that election and admits his own feelings of shock at some of the crazy events that took place during that time.

  A pretty amusing retelling of the election of 2000. It really is a shame Bush won.

  I enjoy Jeff Greenfield's political commentary because he has a very realistic sense of what he does for a living, and because he approaches the subjects he covers as a political analyst with a sense of humor (whenever appropriate) as well as a fair assessment of political situations. This is not always easy to do, but Greenfield manages to do it time after time when I've observed him. This book is testament to that.
  
  The fiasco presented by the media in reporting the results of the 2000 US presidential election was almost unbelievable in scope, yet Greenfield manages to explain, for the most part, both how and why it happened. For political junkies like me, this is an entertaining and an informative read. Greenfield also follows through on the chaos that developed after the election night coverage was over. He reviews both the Gore and the Bush sides of the election issue and shows why the result of the election came about as it did. It was refreshing to read Greenfield's unbiased conclusions based as they are on political insight and common sense. Besides, who else but Greenfield could manage to bring Festivus, The Airing of Grievances, AND Froggy the Gremlin Moments into a discussion about politics. :)

  I was hoping for a complete expose on the 2000 presidential election, since we were living abroad at the time. This book was detailed as to how an election could turn out in such a unique way but didn't provide the insight I was looking for.

  A great rundown of the broadcast-TV SNAFU that was the 2000 election. And I needed it, since I was pretty buzzed while the whole thing was unfolding...
