Re: Additional YPO Writeup

Though Michael Barone is not himself a walking reference book, he does in fact write such things. As the principal author of The Almanac of American Politics, the nation's most complete and authoritative guide to state and federal level government, Barone is among the better informed of our Republic's political animals; and as a senior writer for U.S. News & World Report as well as an occasional contributor to Fox News Channel and other media, he's rarely stingy with the factoids. In books like Our Country: The Shaping of America from Roosevelt to Reagan (Free Press, 1990) and Our First Revolution: The Remarkable British Uprising That Inspired America's Founding Father (Crown Publishers, 2007), Barone takes a long view of American political history, and draws from an unusually deep well of historical context in doing so.

In his capacity as keynote speaker for our presidential election program, Barone will be lending us his insight into the annals of U.S. political history in order to shed light on what awaits us in 2008. As we enter a double-primary presidential election season possessed of a staggering number of candidates from both parties not counting the holdouts who have yet to announce Barone's assistance in making sense of the matter will no doubt be much appreciated.

Barrett,

Hope all is going well with you. On the YPO writeups you did for me. The speaker has changed on one of them and I was hoping that you could rewrite that piece.

It was the one about the Presidential Election with Michael Barone... the topic is the same but the speaker is now Karl Rove. Could you do your magic and send me a draft in the next couple of days.

Thanks,
Lora
