Sure to be the most talk about book about the most talked about election 08. This is a stunning work of graphic non fiction, a fresh take on the campaign diary that will burst the press bubble around this election year''s campaigns and tell the unlikely, true story of what it takes to win a party''s nomination and the job of the most powerful person in the world. Seguramente el libro del que mas se ha hablado sobre las elecciones de las que mas se ha hablado, las del 2008...

A Graphic Retelling Of The Most Historic Election Of Our TimeBeyond the pandering focus groups, the billion-dollar fund-raising machinery, and the relentless myopia of the 24-hour news cycle, it was clear that something deep in the American psyche was stirring as the rumblings of the 2008 election first began. 08 follows the epic 2008 presidential campaign and its dramatic cast of characters: the inevitable former first lady with a terrible plan to win, the freshman African-American Senator who skyrockets onto the national stage, and a former POWs hangdog campaign that overcomes both a Mormon Governor and a thrice-married (occasionally cross-dressing) Mayor. Taking its cur from campaign classics like Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail 72 and The Making of the President Series, 08 brings politico journalism into the graphic novel form. Reflect on all the single-issue candidates, the pundits, the meltdowns, the awkward missteps, and the ruthless maneuvers of the scorched-earth campaign trail as they knit themselves into a political tale of the present-day battle for the future of America.
