"Great narrative on the 2008 election in the tradition of historian Teddy White. Not a deep, political theory kind of thing but a good read about primarily Obama, Clinton, McCain, and -- who can forget, as much as we would like to -- Sarah Palin. These are good storytellers and its a good story to tell."
"despite being a bit pompous some of the time this was pretty good. Who knew that an African American man got elected president of the free world after all? Quite an interesting novel."
"i watched last year so closely, otherwise this book might have rated a five... no. it still PURPOSEFULLY skips much delving into Biden. gotta be an intentional snub by haynes johnson, 'cause they covered the Palin selection process fairly well"
"A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away Barack Obama was losing the race for the Democratic presidential nomination to Hillary Clinton. Then she flubbed on immigration during some obscure debate, Senator John Edwards pounced on her mistake, and Barack Obama cleaned both their clocks by constantly reminding voters how he showed the best judgment in standing against the Iraq war. Meanwhile, back at the ranch on the Republican side, cowboy McCain, in a desperate move to revive his campaign, chooses an obscure governor from a largely unpopulated state as his running mate. Joe the Plumber, endorsements from the Kennedys, Caribou Barbie -- it all seems so long, long ago, but yet the material will be interesting to those who love politics. Haynes Johnson goes through every detail of both nomination campaigns and then the actual presidential race itself, easily one of the most exciting ones ever. They say journalism is history in a hurry, and that journalists write history's first draft. As the hurried writer of the first draft of these historic contests, Johnson does a pretty good job."
