Primary Colors tells the story of Governor Jack Stanton, who is running for the Presidency. But he has many hurdles before him: there’s the fact that he’s from an unknown Southern state (so unknown Klein doesn’t even mention it); that he has a wing-nut group of advisors, some of whom seem to only narrowly avoid being sued for sexual harassment. Then there are his own sexual indiscretions, which we are reminded of every thirty pages or so, when a new woman comes forward saying that she’d had some sort of fling with Stanton. On the one hand I am disgusted with Stanton, and want to see him pay for all the terrible things he has done in his life. But then on the other, when he has a shining moment and moves a crowd into believing in themselves again, I want to see him, or some real manifestation of him, run for office.
