Republican Gubernatorial Candidates for Minnesota List Favorite Books

I know that it this post may seem totally irrelevant to Claremont McKenna, but look closer.


Ah, here's the mention.
David Hann (R): “I’ve got a lot of favorite books, but I’ve been rereading a book lately, called ‘A New Birth of Freedom: Abraham Lincoln and the Coming of the Civil War,’ by Harry Jaffa, and it’s one of my favorites, so I’ll say that.”
The other candidate, Marty Seifert, for the Republican nomination lists Calvin Coolidge's autobiography as his favorite!

Hopefully good signs of conscientious leadership, but we'll see how they actually govern.
