“Paranoid Nation: The Real Story of the 2008 Fight for the Presidency”
(TO ORDER YOUR COPY, see www.matttowery.com.)
Atlanta — A nation on edge elects an unknown commodity as president of the United States. How did it really happen?
Ask the man who has known every president since Richard Nixon. The man who runs an independent opinion research firm that polled primary after primary correctly in 2008. The man who once chaired U.S Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich’s political organization, and who once was his state’s Republican nominee for lieutenant governor. Ask the guy who is both a longtime political player and a celebrated observer of American politics.
Ask Matt Towery, author of the new book, “Paranoid Nation: The Real Story of the 2008 Fight For The Presidency.”
Says Towery about his book, “‘Paranoid Nation’ is an accessible first-person narrative of how Barack Obama and John McCain came out of nowhere to win their parties’ presidential nominations, and how Obama finally won the race for the White House. The book also brushes on my own unpredictable experiences in politics over the last generation. It’s been a wild ride.”
“This is nothing like any political book you will ever read,” says Walter Jones of the Morris News Service. “Towery takes us through a unique personal history that includes having met or known every president since Richard Nixon. He ties together amazing stories of our nation’s political past to help explain what most of us don’t know…how Barack Obama really won the presidency.”
Towery looks at events from the predictable to the bizarre, and all from the perspective of his “paranoid” readers, who are weary, frustrated and scared at political and economic developments in these historic but strange times. Towery takes an outsider’s view of the inside happenings surrounding the historic 2008 election, including answers to these vital but unasked questions:
• Which poll’s odd findings set Obama on an early course to victory?
• What was the real reason the Democratic National Committee refused to seat Florida’s primary delegates?
• Which Republican presidential candidate “won” a televised debate that helped catapult the GOP “outsider” John McCain to the head of the Republican ticket?
• What American celebrity made the upstart Obama an instant star right when he most needed a boost?
• What forces sewed the seeds of Hillary Clinton’s destruction before her campaign ever hit full stride?
Was all not what it seemed on the surface of the presidential election, or are Americans just paranoid?
“Paranoid Nation” answers these and lots of other questions that penetrate behind the headlines to explain how Barack Obama won the presidency.
Matt Towery is the author of two previous major book releases, “Powerchicks: How Women Will Dominate America” (1998), and “Mean Business: The Insider’s Guide To Winning Any Political Election” (2000), which he co-authored with former Georgia Democratic Lt. Gov. Pierre Howard.
