Reviews
  "Aron allows us to live the stories of the 1993 campaign, with all their twists and turns. This book will be around long after the headlines and soundbites have faded."--Senator Bill Bradley

"A uniquely personal account of one of New Jersey's hardest-fought campaigns, written by one of the state's most insightful reporters. It should appeal not only to political junkies but to those who enjoy a great story."--Thomas M. Kean, President of Drew University, Governor of New Jersey, 1982-1990

"Michael Aron is easily among the top ten percent of the political reporters in the country, and I've seen a lot of 'em."--James Carville

"The most watched statewide campaign in the nation."--The New York Times
   
Description
  How did Christine Todd Whitman become the first woman governor of New Jersey? How did Jim Florio recover from a miserable 18 percent public approval rating in 1990 to almost win reelection?

Political correspondent Michael Aron followed the race, day by day, as he reported it for TV. This is his chronicle of events in this neck-and-neck race. Aron covered the campaign strategies and scandals as they unfolded. His interviews, insights, and stories that never made it into the daily broadcast give a behind-the-scenes slant on the political process.
