Bob Shrum, who headed up the losing campaigns of Al Gore and John Kerry, is set to write a book to share his knowledge of the political world with the rest of us.
How lovely!
Kerry, Gore adviser to air views in book
After spending more than 30 years consulting for Democratic candidates, campaign operative Robert Shrum is using his pen to advance his own, liberal views.
"The book is about what I have seen the direction of progressive politics take, what happens to it and where I think it ought to go," Shrum told CNN in an interview.
The veteran political operative was coy about what else he would say in his book, and Washington insiders were aflutter Wednesday about whether it would include sharp critiques of his clients and colleagues from past campaigns -- particularly the failed presidential bids of Sen. John Kerry and former Vice President Al Gore.
What is incredible is that we here at Joobo have received a secret copy of Shrum's book, and want to share the cover with you!
