Get Lit: Win a copy of David Plouffe’s The Audacity to Win

Bookmark and Share

Viking, $27.95, Nov. 3
Just in time for his talk tonight at the Free Library, we're giving away a copy of David Plouffe's The Audacity to Win: The Inside Story and Lessons of Barack Obama's Historic Victory. Obama's campaign manager, who chatted it up with Marty Moss-Coane this morning on Radio Times, breaks down the road to victory in chapters like "Ecstasy. Agony," "Agony. Ecstasy," "It's the Economy, Stupid" and "Plumbers and Radicals," hitting on the most memorable moments of the most memorable grassroots campaign in recent history.

From Audacity's jacket blurb:

This is the ultimate insider story of what many consider the most brilliant campaign ever run, by the man who helped design it and made it happen. Plouffe takes readers from the campaign's tenative first moments — the hard decisions on whether and how to run — to the powerful election day vindication of Obama's wins over John McCain in battlegrounds such as Virginia and Florida. Moving through a cross-country backdrop of hotel rooms, debate halls, rallies and airplanes, we follow candidate Obama and his team every step of the way, listening in on never-before-revealed discussions about bold decisions and directions, and how the campaign was reported.

Middle-of-the-book pictures of Barack on a plane, Barack on a podium, Barack on the phone might not be sexy, but the story's certainly got some meat to it. To win a copy, answer me this:

On Tuesday night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart came up with what fake name for Plouffe's book?
