The author, whoever it may be, chose to narrate the story through Henry Burton. I think this was an easily made choice since Burton is very close aide to presidential candidate Jack Stanton. This is shown by Burton's in depth knowledge about Stanton's campaign. Burton proved to have first hand experience listening in and learning from Stanton. in chapter two Burton speaks of how true and honest Stanton was to the people he talked to and how he always extended himself to others before entering or exiting a political event. I think this displays a great deal of character on Jack Stanton and his candidacy. This character that Burton has placed on Stanton is never more obvious then when Burton talks about Stanton's trip to the Thanksgiving dinner for the homeless and women's shelter.
Burton's in-depth knowledge of Jack Stanton's campaign proves to be very informative as to the rigors and deceptoins of politics in our country today. It also helps to draw a visual image of how exactly Jack Stanton deals with the rigors that campaigning for president present. Henry Burton was the perfect narrotor for this novel.

You need to dig in a bit deeper, Jack. You haven't said anything here that hasn't already been discussed. I am not suggesting that you are incorrect--simply that you are not offering new analysis.
