A biography of the one electable Democratic presidential candidate with the guts to provide a real alternative to George Bush. Senator Bob Graham of Florida is the one electable Democrat running for President who provides a real alternative to George Bush. And S. V. Date is uncannily suited to write Graham s biography: an acclaimed novelist (praised by The New York Times Book Review for his "hilarious political satire")， Date is also a veteran journalist who has covered Florida politics since 1995 and has access to Senator Graham and his intimates. Date reveals Graham s motivations and the sheer drive and talent that turned a country boy into a multimillionaire， two-term Florida Governor， United States Senator (since 1987)， and now， a presidential candidate willing to speak unpopular truths. While most Democrats hemmed and hawed， Graham-"a modern-day Paul Revere" (The Washington Post)-unequivocally opposed the Iraq war， stating repeatedly and forcefully that it was diverting funds and focus from preventing future terrorist attacks in the United States. The biography offers a balanced portrait of Graham. Date explores both the compromises Graham made to get to the top and his quirky side， including Graham s ritual of filling small notebooks with every detail of his day， as well as his inclination to break out into an occasional bad song， including the self-penned "I m a Florida Graham cracker. Be a Graham cracker backer!" Senator Graham Cracker， like the man himself， is straight-forward， funny， and smart.
