As campaign books go, they don't get much more inside than Alexandra Kerry's Notes From the Trail.

The "inside the bubble'' account of Sen. John Kerry's bid for the presidency "traces her campaign experience from its infancy to her father's ultimate defeat,'' the publisher says.

And talk about being inside the bubble: Doris Kearns Goodwin, presidential historian, offers up "advance praise'' in the Rodale release of the 192-page book, with 110 pictures: "Writing with warmth, insight and honest, Alexandra Kerry brings the familiar events of her father's 2004 campaign into fresh focus.''

Mike McCurry, former White House press secretary: "A powerful and intimate look at a presidential campaign.''

Alexandra Kerry, a Brown University graduate with an MFA from the American Film Institute, is executive director at Tar Films in New York, a director of short films and at work on her first feature film.

""A powerful and intimate look at a presidential campaign.''

or;
'A pitiful and painful look at the worst run presidential campaign in modern history.'


Every day it seems John Kerry does something else to remind us of why we didn't make him president. Thank God.
