I was intrigued, educated and entertained. Interestingly enough, it seems mud-slinging and bad policy has been around since the birth of this great nation.

Surprisingly well written accounts of presidential campaigns since 1828, with frame-worthy reproductions of political posters. Especially liked the minor-party representation: Shirley Chisholm, Henry A. Wallace ... even Pat Paulsen. From Andrew Jackson ("Protector & Defender of Beauty & Booty") to Barack Obama ("Hope") with many a colorful candidate (and poster) in between.
