CHAPTER 7
The Final Days
11/7/2008 12:00:00 AMVII.The Obama campaign ran the biggest, best-financed get-out-the-vote campaign in the history of American politics. It wanted to turn out minorities and the young, groups that traditionally stay away from the polls.

CHAPTER 5
Center Stage
Evan Thomas 11/6/2008 12:00:00 AMIn midsummer, the Obama campaign's computers were attacked by a virus.

The Palin Problem
Jonathan Darman 10/25/2008 12:00:00 AMJohn McCain's defeat will be a lonely one. The old soldier has always taken pride in proving no one owns him—not his party, not its leaders and, for damn sure, not the ideological purity police of the right.

Already, from every corner of the conservative coalition, the same refrain is rising: nasty, obstinate old fool, he should have listened to me.
