WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Author Oldaker states explicitly, "My new book, "Samuel Tilden, the Real 19th President," is based on the true story of Tilden's 1876 election fiasco and defines the hazards of shady politics. My optimism while writing this book is to give voters an indication of what they should be looking for from their candidates when choosing a President in 2008. Tilden was the epitome of integrity and was adamant about Reforming Washington politics. The book has been forwarded to the current crop of prospective presidential contenders."
Presidential disinformation corruption was born in 1876. As the saying goes, history does repeat itself, and author Nikki Oldaker, in her new book "Samuel J. Tilden - The Real 19th President," takes us back in time behind the scenes of the 1876 Tilden Hayes election, which was referenced with Gore/Bush 2000 election dispute and then again with Kerry/Bush in 2004. Her book includes Tilden's biographer John Bigelow writings from "The Life of Samuel J. Tilden" and renews the warning to all future presidential candidates -- BEWARE!
Tilden was a reformer, who busted up the Tweed Ring, and after his election win had to deal with the corrupt administration of President Grant that conspired to cheat Tilden out of his Presidency. Oldaker did research at the New York Public Library, which was Samuel Tilden's gift to the American people. She also did research and the National Arts Club, which was originally Tilden's home and today a historical landmark. She read numerous books and documents as well as newspaper accounts to write a compelling screenplay about the four months of conflict and voters protest demonstrations that uncannily prefigured the Bush/Gore dispute.
Nikki Oldaker is "a natural" who excels at whatever she undertakes. She plunged into her political breech in the 1992 Democratic Political Convention and two more successive ones managing "The VIP Backstage Room" for candidates and speakers who went before the TV cameras in 2000 and 2004.
