Broder joined The Post in 1966 as a political reporter and has held that post ever since. Before joining the paper, he was a political reporter at the Congressional Quarterly, The Washington Star and The New York Times. His books include "Democracy Derailed: Initiative Campaigns and the Power of Money" (2000); "Behind the Front Page: A Candid Look at How the News is Made" (1987); "The Party's Over: The Failure of Politics in America" (1972); and "The Republican Establishment: The Present and Future of the G.O.P." with Stephen Hess (1967)."Anybody who wants the presidency so much that he'll spend two years organizing and campaigning for it is not to be trusted with the office."
