...pondering a White House bid, ABC News's Mark Halperin and the Washington Post's John Harris have some advice. In their book The Way to Win, they offer tales from past campaigns and--with the help of former President Bill Clinton and G.O.P. impresario Karl Rove, who were interviewed for the book--tips for those who have their eyes on the Oval Office.
