Jamieson is super smart. Her books almost too easy to read. Great book explaining negative campaigning, highlighting the worst of the worst - 1988.
I really wish GoodReads let you give half-star ratings. I'd probably rate it two and a half. It was worth reading, but dry and a lot of what she said seemed like common sense. I'm reviewing this after the fact, so it's hard to remember, but her explanations of how politicians can best counter attacks by their opponents were enlightening.
