Aprašymas

Stump Connolly is at it again, careening down the campaign trail in pursuit of the candidates, the cash and the real stories behind Campaign ’08.


From the early jockeying for position between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama through the grueling primaries of Iowa, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Indiana, Super Tuesday and beyond, Connolly gives a first hand account of the issues and personalities that shaped the 2008 presidential race.


With three previous political campaigns under his belt, Connolly unleashes his inner political junkie as he crashes the Democratic Convention in Denver in an F-150 truck to highlight the economy, observes the Republican Convention from arena-top seats as an “official blogger” at the coronation of Sarah Palin, and spends a week with Obama field organizers in Ohio trying to win over a key state. On Election Night, he's there in Chicago’s Grant Park election night as Obama accepts his victory - and offers a word of warning for what comes next.


“I don’t think anyone had more fun covering the campaign than Stump, or reading him than me. You laugh and learn at the same time.”
¬– Bill Kurtis
