about me

Live in Sonoma, California with wife Micaelia, five dogs, two parakeets, and a turtle. Two horses live alone. I've been a teacher, a television writer, school curriculum developer, and a cyclist. As a docent at the Mission San Francisco I became interested in history and the development of current thoughts. I've written "all kinds of stuff" and am working on a few more projects. I can't be stopped.

Losers: Interesting Americans ....

Dave Brummett

Light-hearted stories of the 50 most interesting Americans who have lost presidential elections. Election losers? You’re kidding. Who cares? You might. Check them out.


Losers: Interesting Americans who lost Presidential Elections is light-hearted, personal, and interactive and can be read front-to-back or episodically. It’s written for the general adult reader who is interested in history, politics, elections, gossip, and those who love lists and creating their own. Readers discover losers who went to bed thinking they had won, losers who received more popular and electoral votes than the winner, a loser who was a bastard before he went into politics, a loser who created a winning idea that was then used against him, losers who became president, and presidents who became losers. Quotes from each candidate focus the election issues; many are still relevant today. The stories are supported by data and features that help the reader understand the times and increase the interactivity of the book including explanations of timely events or issues, related information, a fun multiple-choice test, and a place for the reader to vote for or against the loser. Losers is a book that can be updated and extended for every election. Imagine a trivia game, a television series or program. The “losers” idea could be developed into a franchise that highlights losing competitors in other arenas.

"unfettered humping machines" Christian, just so you know...I am fettered. Whatever. I've added Pulling the Goalie to my watch list and will fire up the Jack on the Rocks, sit back and read till I can't stand it any more or become unfettered. Dave Brummett view book

Dan, thanks for your comments. I have added To Kill to my watch list to read over the weekend. Based on your pitch I'm imagining a place on the shelf. Dave Brummett view book
