Ralph Naders former campaign manager takes the biggest swingnot a jab, but a roundhouse punchat Americas corrupt electoral system (Phil Donahue).As the national campaign manager for Ralph Naders historic runs for president in 2000 and 2004, Theresa Amato had a rare ringside role in two of the most hotly contested presidential elections this country has seen. In Grand Illusion, she gives us a witty, thoughtful critique of the American electoral system, as well as a powerful argument for opening up the contest as if people and their daily lives mattered.While making the case for specific reforms in the United States arcane system of ballot access laws, complex federal regulations, and partisan control of elections, Amato also offers a spirited history of how thirdparty and Independent candidates have kept important issues on the table in elections past and contribute to our countrys political life. Even the most fervent Nader critics will think twice about Naders role in 2000, thanks to Amatos trenchant factual analysis.Looking beyond the Nader story to campaigns waged by challengers John Anderson, Ross Perot, Pat Buchanan, and others, Amato shows how limiting ourselves to two candidates deprives our country of a robust political life, strips wouldbe contenders of their free speech and association rights, and cheats voters out of meaningful political choices.Amato displays an encyclopedic knowledge of election law, and her recommendations for election reform, including a comprehensive plan for Federal Administration and Financing of Elections, are crucial contributions to the debate over election law.
