The Democratic National Convention began Monday night and unbelieveably, we are about 70 or so days away from electing a new president.

So, how much do you really know, or think you know, about the people running for President and Vice-President? We have numerous books by and about, John McCain, Barack Obama and newly selected VP choice, Joe Biden. Don't leave it to the talking heads on TV, read one of the following and make your own decision.

The Audacity of Hope : thoughts on reclaiming the American dream by Barack Obama
Barack Obama by Sherri and Mark Devaney
Barack Obama : the politics of hope by William Michael Davis

Worth the fighting for : a memoir by John McCain with Mark Salter
Faith of my fathers by John McCain with Mark Salter
Man of the people : the life of John McCain by Paul Alexander

Promises to keep : on life and politics by Joe Biden

And, when we find out who John McCain choses for his VP later this week, we'll update this page.
