Down To The Crossroads: On The Trail Of The 2008 US Presidential Election
The surprise hit of last December was The Battle for Bennelong, Margot Saville’s on-the-road, campaign trail account of the nail-biting 2007 federal election. This year, Crikey correspondent Guy Rundle gives us the play-by-play scoop on America’s historic 2008 election. Read it and revel in Obama’s ousting of George W. Bush’s Republican party, as represented by John McCain and the ever-amusing (if horrifying) Sarah Palin. It’s the election that Aaron Sorkin couldn’t have scripted better, as observed by one of Australia’s savviest political tragics.
