I really liked this book! Connie is an outstanding writer.

As I read, I not only had the pleasure of getting to know Connie better but also gained valuable insights into the campaign process through the perspective of a new wife.

The way she presented the story was truly well done. However, it seems that one might have to be a democrat to fully enjoy this book.

Perhaps those with different political affiliations may have a slightly different take on some of the content. Nevertheless, it is still a remarkable work that offers a unique and engaging look into a particular world.

Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in politics, relationships, or just a good read.

Connie's writing style is captivating, and her ability to bring the characters and events to life is truly impressive.

Whether you are a democrat or not, there is something to be gained from reading this book.

A Political Candidate's Life: A Humorous and Heartwarming Glimpse

In these crazy and scary times of the spreading coronavirus, as we near a lockdown, I delved into a book that offered an insightful look into the life of a political candidate and their family. What made this exploration truly special was the touch of humor and the palpable love and joy between Connie and Sherrod. It made me appreciate them even more.

The book contains profound statements that resonate deeply. From an early age, the author knew that their parents had once had dreams that met a slow and agonizing end due to their own fears. It's a sobering thought that reminds us of the sacrifices our parents make. Another powerful line is, "My parents wore their bodies out so that we'd never have to." This shows the selfless love and dedication of parents.

George Bernard Shaw's words also add a layer of depth to the discussion. He said, "I want to be all used up when I die. Life is no brief candle to me; it is a sort of splendid torch which I've got a hold of for the moment and I want to make burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations." This emphasizes the importance of living life to the fullest and making a positive impact. Overall, this book offers a unique perspective on the lives of a political candidate and their family, filled with humor, love, and thought-provoking insights.

I learned an awful lot about what it takes to stage a successful political campaign.

It's not just about having the right policies and ideas, but also about connecting with the people, building a strong team, and effectively communicating your message.

This love story also addresses what it means to be a feminist and a woman who supports her husband and continues to pursue her career and to be her true self.

It shows that being a feminist doesn't mean sacrificing your relationships or your personal goals. Instead, it's about finding a balance and empowering yourself and those around you.

Connie Schultz is easy to read with a comfortable writing style.

Her words flow smoothly, making it easy for the reader to get lost in the story.

She has a unique way of bringing the characters and the events to life, making them feel real and relatable.

Overall, this is a great read for anyone interested in politics, love, and feminism.

Connie Schultz has always had a way of captivating me with her columns. Her writing style is engaging and often brings a smile to my face. However, when it comes to her latest book, I have to admit that it left me a bit disappointed.

This book seemed to be a very one-sided political piece. It focused solely on the divisive state of politics today, without really presenting a balanced view or exploring possible solutions. While I understand the importance of highlighting the issues, I was hoping for a more in-depth analysis and a call to action.

That being said, there were some redeeming qualities to the book. It was also a very loving tribute to her husband, filled with personal anecdotes and hilarious stories. These moments added a touch of warmth and humanity to the otherwise political narrative.

Overall, while the book had its flaws, it was still an interesting read. It made me think about the state of politics and the importance of finding common ground. I just wish that Schultz had taken a more comprehensive approach and presented a more well-rounded argument.

I'm a biased Clevelander, ya know? ;)

Loved hearing stories from my home state. It was truly fascinating to listen to the details, especially those about the all-important stops at Bob Evans. It's like a little piece of home being brought to life through these stories.

And I also loved hearing how a progressive didn't compromise his beliefs to win the election! That's so inspiring. In a world where so many seem to bend and twist for the sake of power or popularity, it's refreshing to hear about someone who stands firm in their convictions.

As a woman, of course I loved Connie's take on having to make compromises in her own career for her husband's election. I can only imagine how hard that was. The sacrifices she had to make, the adjustments in her own professional life. But she got a great story out of it? That's the silver lining, I guess. It shows that even in the midst of difficult decisions and compromises, there can be something positive that comes out. Maybe it's a lesson learned, a new perspective gained, or just a story to share with others.

Overall, these stories really made me think and feel connected to my roots and to the experiences of others.

Harsh facts, fun anecdotes, and hilarious moments - these are the elements that make up the author's experience of her husband's successful run for the U.S. Senate.

During this intense and exciting journey, there were times when the facts were brutally honest. The campaign trail was filled with challenges and obstacles that had to be overcome. But amidst all the seriousness, there were also many fun anecdotes that lightened the mood.

The author shares stories of the unexpected encounters and humorous situations that occurred along the way. These moments not only provided entertainment but also served as a reminder that even in the midst of a high-stakes political race, there is room for laughter and joy.

Overall, the author's experience offers a unique perspective on the world of politics and the behind-the-scenes drama that takes place during a Senate campaign. It is a story that is both informative and entertaining, filled with harsh facts, fun anecdotes, and hilarious moments that will keep readers engaged from start to finish.

This was truly an extremely interesting behind-the-scenes exploration of what the family of a candidate experiences throughout the campaign.

It held a special significance for me, being a Clevelander. I have been a long-time reader and an enthusiastic fan of Connie's columns in our local newspaper.

Moreover, her husband, Sherrod Brown, who has been a well-known Ohio politician for a long time, is our Senator.

The article provided a fascinating insight into the challenges and joys that the candidate's family endures during such a crucial time.

It made me realize the sacrifices and efforts that go into not only the candidate's campaign but also the support system provided by their family.

As a local, it was particularly engaging to read about the experiences of Connie and Sherrod Brown, who are so closely associated with our community.

Overall, it was a captivating read that offered a unique perspective on the political process from a personal and family-oriented point of view.

The story was truly engaging and interesting right up until election day. It had me hooked from the very beginning, with its captivating plot and well-developed characters.

However, at that point, Ms. Schultz started dropping names, and unfortunately, I felt like the story suffered as a result. It wasn't that she hadn't dropped names earlier, but the ratio of the story itself to the names being dropped had shifted.

Despite this, I'm still happy that I read it. After all, it provided me with some valuable background information. And if he should decide to throw his hat in the ring in the future, I'll have a better understanding of the situation.

Overall, it was an enjoyable read, with only a minor hiccup towards the end. I would recommend it to others who are interested in the subject matter.

As someone who is truly passionate about Ohio politics and also a big fan of a great read, this particular piece really delivered on both fronts.

Connie Schultz has done an outstanding job in vividly displaying all the intense stress that a political campaign can bring. She doesn't shy away from showing the pressures, the challenges, and the high stakes involved.

At the same time, she also beautifully showcases all the human moments that unexpectedly pop up along the way. These are the moments that make us remember that behind the politics and the campaigns, there are real people with real emotions.

I am truly looking forward to reading more of her remarkable work. Her ability to blend the world of politics with the human experience is truly captivating and I can't wait to see what else she has in store for us.

I found this book to be truly interesting.

Running for a political office demands not only determination and stamina but also a smart team to support you. It seems that this campaign had all of these elements. Starting with the Sherrod/Connie team and their families, their devotion to each other is extremely apparent.

Moreover, it shows how your world can change. It is much like “Becoming” by Michele Obama, which讲述了他们竞选前后的生活故事。

I grew up in Mansfield in a hardworking democratic family. Dr Brown was our family doctor for a long time. I remember them protesting against the Vietnam War in the 70s. This added a bit more to the story for me.

I am looking forward to reading “Daughters of Erietown” and exploring what it has to offer.

Perhaps it will provide more insights into different lives and experiences, just like this book has done.

I can't wait to embark on this new reading adventure and see where it takes me.

Who knows what new perspectives and understandings I will gain from it?

It's always exciting to discover new books and let them expand our minds and hearts.

Loved it.

This is one I have been wanting to read for quite a while.

The moment I started reading, I was hooked.

It was a fast, easy and engrossing read.

I couldn't put it down until I had finished it.

More than the campaign story, however, I loved reading about her parents and the home she grew up in.

The author did a great job of painting a vivid picture of her childhood.

I could imagine the warm and loving environment she was raised in.

It made me feel like I was a part of her family.

The details about her parents' personalities and their relationship with each other and with her were so touching.

It was truly a wonderful read.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an interesting and engaging story.

I am a huge enthusiast of Connie Schultz's work. Her way of interacting with her readers and fans on social media, especially on her Facebook page, is truly remarkable.

Additionally, I was once a constituent of her husband, Sherrod Brown. I have a great deal of appreciation for his efforts as a progressive senator in Ohio.

This book is simply outstanding. Schultz vividly recalls his 2006 campaign for senator, and she does so with great wit and charm. She doesn't shy away from presenting the issues they faced, including her own personal challenges. These include leaving the Plain Dealer, learning to adapt to the role of a "politician's wife" while still being a passionate feminist and maintaining her own career.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It offers a unique and engaging perspective on the political journey and the personal sacrifices and growth that come with it.
