The Running Mate follows this brash hero on a wild, exhilarating ride through the minefields of politics as usual.

For Charlie's political star is beginning to wane ... a bid for the presidency ends in failure ... a young campaign volunteer's father decks him ? in front of the cameras ... a well-kept secret from Charlie's Vietnam days is revealed ... and a woman has entered his life ? one who loves him but is appalled by his life's work. Suddenly Charlie must confront the two greatest challenges of his life ? a political opponent who has no scruples and a dazzling, unconventional woman who may force him to choose between love and politics. Charlie's dilemma is one that has come to haunt contemporary American politics: Is it possible to be a good politician and a good man?
