《为失败者竞选》是一篇竞选运动员的自述。它从一个侧面揭露了美国民主的真相。美国的“民主政治”同其他许多西方国家一样,是通过竞选来实现的。但是,什么人才有资格参加竞选呢?这种竞选运动又意味着什么呢?决定竞选者胜败浮沉的决定性因素为何物?所有这些,在本文中都有所提及,读后如身临其境,实在令人大开眼界。 “Running for the losers” is a self-report of athletes.

All these are mentioned in this article. After reading, Habitat, it really makes an eye-opener.
