Given our current political environment, the new book, Politics of the Possible by Mary Ellen McCaffree and Anne McNamee Corbett offers a timely and refreshing approach to today’s often frustrating governmental process. Budgets, deficits, wrangling political parties, and special interests that increasingly press (and achieve) their demands in disregard of the public’s general welfare – all find antidotes in this lively political history. Politics of the Possible reminds us how our government is supposed to work. It’s a living example of an effective decade of governing when our elected leaders moved beyond partisanship and focused on problem-solving for the people.

As the authors say in the preface, “More than history, this book affirms what is possible here and now.” And Bill Gates, Sr., noted, “Readers will tend to weigh what they see happening today against the important principles Mary Ellen McCaffree lays out so effectively in Politics of the Possible.”
