Now, Let Me Tell You What I Really Think

Summary: It's one of the good political books out there
Review: Through out this book, particularly in chapter eight, named Truth, Chris Matthews shares his views on different political issues with the reader. For instance, on abortion, Matthews writes that polls showing the American people will not exact a token punishment from a woman who seeks an abortion should tell pro-lifers something very basic. Then he opines that the criminal code is not the right instrument; rather, the solution is for foes of abortion to make common cause with proponents to find ways to reduce the numbers of abortions while keeping abortion constitutionally protected.
About the presidential election of 2001, the author takes Al Gore's side and says, "Gore had not only won, he had cleaned Bush's clock". On a part called, "The Gender Gap", he brings about the issue of why woman voters tend to vote for the Democratic candidate. His reasoning is that the Democratic Party backs the teachers' unions, cares for our education and our health care and sees that grandparents receive their Social Security and Medicare; and that is what women are concerned with the most.
At last, I would recommand this book to any one who likes political books.This book really shows the political views and thoughts of Chris Matthews who is pretty famous in the media.
