The Choice also exposes how political money, public opinion polling, attack advertising, handlers, consultants, and staff too often drive modern presidential politics. It is the essential story of the nation's most intense political drama."--Jacket 001416319 520__ $$aBased on a massive body of original reporting and documentation, and on hundreds of interviews with firsthand sources, The Choice is the behind-the-scenes story of President Bill Clinton and Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole over the last two years. It is the personal and political story of how the nation's two top leaders prepared themselves to square off for the 1996 presidential election. Never before has political reporting provided voters with so much authoritative, in-depth information on the candidates before a presidential election. The Choice sets the stage for the November 5, 1996, election with a study of the contenders in action - their decisions, their conversations, their private assessments, their disappointments, their anger and triumphs, their definitions of themselves and their evolving understanding of national purpose. 001416319 520__ $$aIncluded in this wide-ranging political history is exclusive new material on the Republican primary contest; the White House and congressional budget battles; the top secret Bosnia strategy sessions in the White House; the influence of Vice President Albert Gore, Jr., and House Speaker Newt Gingrich; the role of political money; the uses of public opinion polling and advertising; former General Colin Powell's decision not to run; and the strategies of both campaigns, including Dole's decision to leave the Senate and his consideration of possible running mates. 001416319 60010 $$aClinton, Bill,$$d1946- 001416319 60010 $$aDole, Robert J.,$$d1923-2021. 001416319 60017 $$aClinton, Bill,$$d1946-$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00088204 001416319 60017 $$aDole, Robert J.,$$d1923-2021$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00080565 001416319 648_7 $$a1993-2001$$2fast 001416319 650_0 $$aPresidents$$zUnited States$$xElection$$y1996. 001416319 650_0 $$aPresidential candidates$$zUnited States. 001416319 650_7 $$aPolitics and government$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01919741 001416319 650_7 $$aPresidential candidates.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01075708 001416319 650_7 $$aPresidents$$xElection.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01075747 001416319 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xPolitics and government$$y1993-2001. 001416319 651_6 $$aÉtats-Unis$$xPolitique et gouvernement$$y1993-2001.$$0(CaQQLa)201-0239352 001416319 651_7 $$aUnited States.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01204155 001416319 852__ $$bgen$$hE888$$i.W66 1996c 001416319 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1416319$$pGLOBAL_SET 001416319 980__ $$aBOOK 001416319 980__ $$aBIB
