Review of The Power of One

Geo Beach is one of public radio's most provocative commentators. In "The Power of One" he not only succeeds in deftly describing the extra quirkiness of Alaskan politics but also taps into the universal theme that even one vote can make a difference. Then, he turns the tables on this cliche and makes you almost wish that wasn't the case. Thought provoking and humorous. A welcome addition to any program, especially as the next Presidential election draws near. - Joe Bev.
P.S. - Geo's piece would work very well in 2008, more so than when first reviewed this. I encourage station to run this election piece.
