Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times:
Those hungry for political news will read Double Down for the scooplets and insidery glimpses it serves up about the two campaigns, and the clues it offers about the positioning already going on among Republicans and Democrats for 2016 ... The book testifies to its authors energetic legwork and insider access... creating a novelistic narrative that provides a you-are-there immediacy... They succeed in taking readers interested in the backstabbing and backstage maneuvering of the 2012 campaign behind the curtains, providing a tactile... sense of what it looked like from the inside.
In their runaway bestseller Game Change, Mark Halperin and John Heilemann captured the full drama of Barack Obamas improbable, dazzling victory over the Clintons, John McCain, and Sarah Palin.

Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
Sharp insights buttressed by startling indiscretions fill Double Down.... This gripping book... cements the status of the authors as unrivaled chroniclers of campaign politics.
The Economist
Many juicy disclosures... [a] near-flawless narrative.
USA Today
Journalists Halperin and Heilemann dont lack for access, delivering another down-and-dirty account of an election that plays out like high-stakes high school cafeteria politics.... Double Down looks less like a sequel to 2008 than a tantalizing prequel to 2016. Im all-in.
Entertainment Weekly
Double Down.... is a joyous romp through the seedy underbelly of presidential campaigning.... Its also a marvel of reporting. Any time three staff members met in a room to badmouth a colleague or a candidate admitted to a moment of stress or self-doubt... John Heilemann and Mark Halperin appear to have been sitting in the corner, scribbling notes.
Ezra Klein, The Washington Post
Page-turning... Translat[es] insider politics for mass-market readers with behind-the-scenes reporting and Gonzo flair.
Peter Hamby, The Washington Post
Done it before, and have done it again.
Joe Scarborough, MSNBCs Morning Joe
In many ways, an insight into America.
Charlie Rose
Great reportage.
Chris Matthews, MSNBCs Hardball
Authors of the bestselling book turned Emmy-winning HBO movie Game Change are telling all in their latest book.... It is terrific.
Barbara Walters
This is a great read.
Mark Levin
I love this book.
Lawrence ODonnell, MSNBCs The Last Word
Really fascinating details.
Anderson Cooper, CNNs AC360
In an era when the most minute details of a presidential campaign are chronicled in endless tweets and seemingly instant eBooks, they have published an old-fashioned print product filled with new revelations.
Politico
Youd think there were no revelations left from the 2012 campaign, but Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, the Game Change duo, strike again in their new book.
Howard Kurtz, Fox News
Fascinating new insights.
Business Insider
Sizzling... Theyve done it again.
Geraldo Rivera
Huge.
Willie Geist, NBC News

Version_3
T HE PUBLICATION OF DOUBLE DOWN coincided with an electoral milestone for one of our chronicles most vivid characters. On Tuesday, November 5, 2013, as copies of the book were being placed on shelves in stores across the country, Chris Christie was cruising to reelection in New Jersey by an emphatic twenty-two-point margin. In a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans by more than 700,000, exit polls suggested that the incumbent governor carried majorities of female and Hispanic voters, as well as 49 percent of those aged eighteen to twenty-nine and a fifth of African Americans. Together, the scale of the victory and its composition lent credence to the notion that Christie might be the cure for what ailed the national GOP. To much of the political class, he instantly became the de facto front-runner for his partys 2016 presidential nomination.
Christies hold on that exalted status lasted for two months. Then, in early January, he became ensnared in the imbroglio dubbed Bridgegate. The scandalwhich centered on the September 2013 closing of several traffic lanes onto the George Washington Bridge, an apparent act of political retribution against the Democratic mayor of Fort Lee, New Jerseywas a local story that became a national sensation. The fallout in Christies world was intense: the resignation of three of his appointees; the firing of his deputy chief of staff and a top political adviser; a flurry of investigations by state legislators; a wide-ranging criminal grand jury inquiry by Christies successor as New Jerseys U.S. Attorney; probes by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Manhattan District Attorney.
At this writing, Christie, who sweepingly denied ordering or even knowing about the lane closures beforehand or contemporaneously, had yet to be directly implicated in Bridgegate. Despite his legal and political besiegement, he continued to play a national role (if less prominently than previously anticipated) as chairman of the Republican Governors Association. At a June 2014 retreat in Park City hosted by the Romney family and attended by an assemblage of senior party leaders and big-ticket donors, Christie attempted to place the scandal in his rearview mirror. Its over, its done with, and Im moving on, he declared.
Yet beyond the lingering possibility of federal indictments against a number of his allies, the damage inflicted by Bridgegate on Big Boys presidential fortunes was profound. Even among the governors most avid fans, there had always been questions about his temperament and maturity, about undiscovered controversies that might be lurking in his past, about the modus operandi of his subordinates and what it reflected about his leadership, about the tendency of Christie and his people to color outside the lines.
