Game Change
I just fininshed reading "Game Change" by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, two famous political reporters. Its an in-depth look at the 2008 election, and seeks to answer these questions and more - How did Obama convince himself that he could beat the odds to become the first African American President? What stopped Hillary Clinton's election bid? Why did McCain make Palin his choice for VP? Was Palin merely painfully out of her depth - or troubled in more serious ways?
It was a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the election process and the charactars involved, and is based on 100's of interviews of people who lived the story. I think it would make a great movie!
