The fact they won't do the Democratic side of '08 is strange. - Mel Profit Dec 11, 19:06 3
- you don't have to pull any punches with the losing candidate. it's a little trickier with a sitting president. -- nm - mafic Dec 11, 19:48
- Yeah, it shoulda been like a 10hr series given the drama involved.... - Will Hunting Dec 11, 19:09 1
  - Right and if anything the opposite side of the story is more relevant to current events than McCain and Palin. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 11, 19:13
I really don't see that much a story here. - Will Hunting Dec 11, 19:04 17
- If they leave Obama out of it and focus on the Romney campaign (apparent) struggle in how to define themselves within the current GOP, I think it - ty97 Dec 11, 19:14 4
  - The first book is completely fascinating. It's also full of gossip... - Mel Profit Dec 11, 19:15 3
    - The incompetence of Clinton's staff blew my mind. -- nm - David Dec 11, 19:25 1
      - the story of Obama in 08 and in 12 is how he has fundamentally altered the assumptions about how campaigns can or should be run - prisoner 24601 Dec 11, 19:32
    - Really? heh - prayformojo Dec 11, 19:18
- i think there's room to do both sides of the story this time - prisoner 24601 Dec 11, 19:05
- Romney does seem dull but they can tell Obama's side this time. - David Dec 11, 19:05 10
  - If they didn't in 2008 when you had Hillary and Obama, I don't see any drama to mine this time around - Will Hunting Dec 11, 19:09 8
    - it was a huge gamble to push 25% of their spending in the spring and summer to define Mitt as "Bain Capital Guy" - prisoner 24601 Dec 11, 19:10 7
      - That's hardly drama though. "Oh, I'll run a defensive campaign, and define my opponent before he can" -- nm - Roger More Dec 11, 19:34 4
        
        which was looking like a foolproof plan, until the first debate - prisoner 24601 Dec 11, 19:38 3
        
        That will all be in the book, I'm sure. But if Hillary v Obama didn't make the screen last time, what won't make the cut this time? -- nm - Roger More Dec 11, 19:40 2
        
        you ignore the GOP primaries and focus on Obama v. Romney from May through November -- nm - prisoner 24601 Dec 11, 19:44 1
        
        But most of the schadenfreude is in the primary! Sure, there's a good bit in the campaign too, but... the schadenfreude in the primary! -- nm - Roger More Dec 11, 19:52
      - He wasn't going to lack for resources in the fall; his spending reset at the convention. - Will Hunting Dec 11, 19:12 1
        
        the campaign didn't see it that way -- (link) - prisoner 24601 Dec 11, 19:16
  - casting? Taye Diggs -- nm - prisoner 24601 Dec 11, 19:07
