Pick Me! Pick Me!

By Dave Cornford

Steve has been roped in at the last minute to contest a marginal seat after the previous member has been "stood down" for personal reasons - personal tax, personal hygiene and personal relationships.

The pressure is starting to show - with endless campaign functions, crazy volunteers and his whole future hanging in the balance. Will the next phone call be from the Prime Minister, or just his over-zealous Campaign Director?

Read his day by day diary from the Campaign trail.

Pick Me! Pick Me! is a fast-paced read that will keep you engrossed for an hour or so.
