The contrast is such that he appears to be almost as conservative as his opponents claim him to be. He needs a primary and Delaware needs a real choice. Question: Does Barney Frank also suck?

He needs a primary and Delaware needs a real choice.

Question: Does Barney Frank also suck?

It got me thinking - what books/articles/other things would we recommend to someone planning to run for Congress? What about someone running for state office? I thought for Congress maybe: David Cay Johnston's <i>Free Lunch</i> Thomas Ricks's <i>Fiasco</i> What else?
