As the national campaign manager for Ralph Nader's runs for president in 2000 and 2004, Theresa Amato had a rare ringside role in the last two hotly contested presidential elections. The only woman ever to have managed two high-profile American presidential campaigns, she gives readers both an inside look at and a witty, thoughtful critique of the American electoral system, shattering the myth that anyone can grow up and run for president.

"Until you have run, as I did, outside the two major parties, it is impossible to imagine the injustices of the two-party-tilted electoral process. Theresa Amato masterfully exposes the horrors faced by third-party and Independent candidates seeking the chance to compete and provide political choices for the American voter."&#8212John Anderson, former Independent presidential candidate and chair of the Center for Voting and Democracy"Theresa Amato takes the biggest swing--not a jab, but a roundhouse punch--at America's corrupt electoral system."&#8212Phil Donahue
