“Oddly riveting.” “ Perceptive narrative.” “ An absorbing read.”Why would someone want to read a book about presidential losers?Because it’s fun to read and because we're all curious about losers. This is an idiosyncratic collection of stories. I selected the fifty presidential losers that interested me most and then ranked them down from 50 to number 1. For example, Al Gore standing there in his farmer pants, plaid shirt and beard got me wondering about others who had lost presidential elections. What happened to them after the election? And that curiosity about Al started me on my journey. Along the way I was diverted by the stories of the election, the issues, the parties, the other candidates. I became interested in side stories of people, places, and things that enriched the times. I became interested in the actual words the candidate said. Because the stories are diverse, they will appeal to a wide range of interests: history, politics, elections, trivia buffs, gossip, making lists, discussing personalities and the issues of the day. Each loser has a unique story to tell.Losers will introduce you to: •A person who thought that he had won•Another who was in prison during the election•A nominee who had a daughter who was a child abuser•One who promoted erectile dysfunction awareness•One who died between the election and the electoral vote count•A contender who was the model for a character in a popular movieYou’ll discover quotes from the past that sound oddly current: “Sensible and responsible women do not want to vote.” “About the time we can make the ends meet, somebody moves the ends.” “Pope, stop packing.”“It's always darkest before it's totally black.”“When we lose the right to be different, we lose the privilege to be free.” “Elevate those guns a little lower.”You’ll learn about the people, places, and things that have added richness to the history of presidential elections:•The Bowie Knife•The Alien and Sedition Acts•Kit Carson•Jim Crow Laws•Eggheads•Geraldine Ferraro•Greenbacks•Horatio Hornblower•Kent State Massacre•Kinderhook, NY•Old Fuss and Feathers•The Dred Scott Decision•Richmond, VA•The Rough RiderYou’ll find yourself thinking about how you feel about some of the issues of the past and how they relate to present:•Would you vote for someone whose personal behaviors do not reflect yours?•Does a candidate’s bias about certain ethnic groups, genders, or lifestyles affect the way you would vote?•How do you feel about government legislating people’s behavior?•Would you favor a woman president? •Are you in favor of ‘third’ parties in presidential elections today? Losers author Dave Brummett has been a teacher, a television instructor, a curriculum developer, a coach, and popular educational speaker. Losers reflects those experiences with understanding, empathy, and humor. Please scroll up and grab a copy of Losers for yourself. You won’t be sorry.
