About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from Hats in the Ring

Among the many lessons learned at mother's knee, one of the oldest is the familiar belief that every young man can grow up to be president. But one thing that mother may have forgotten is that to win the presidency, you have' first to win the nomination. And there are many paths leading up to that exalted moment on the rostrum when the convention chair man introduces the wildly cheering delegates to The Next President of the United States.
