1960: Making of the President...
A modern U.S. presidential campaign is one of the most amazing organizational
endeavors undertaken by man. In 2008, John McCain and Barack Obama collectively
spent $2.4 billion dollars on their efforts to be elected President of the
United States. That is more money than the federal government devoted to the
Manhattan Project. It is a larger figure than the gross domestic product of 32
countries. You could purchase three 50-story skyscrapers for the same amount.
So, when we talk about running a U.S. presidential campaign, we are really
referring to something akin to running a Fortune 500 company. The most
remarkable thing is, a campaign manager must take this enterprise from literally
nothing to these enormous heights in about a year’s time. It’s a grueling job,
with enormous pressure and a lot to juggle. You have the candidate, the media,
volunteers in every state, the campaign staff, the internet, attack ads,
campaign consultants, pollsters, proxies and political problems of every
conceivable stripe. And at the end of the day, what is your reward? If you win,
you get the problems of governance. If you lose, you earn your party's scorn and
the inevitable finger-pointing that follows.
...of course, that’s just
what your opponent intends to do to YOU.
In Campaign Manager 2008, we
invite you to undertake this thankless task by assuming the role of the campaign
manager for either Barack Obama or John McCain. Your candidate is relying on you
to develop a campaign strategy and then go on to manage this enormous endeavor
successfully. You will consider a variety of different tactics and strategies
available to you, crafting a personal campaign plan by selecting a unique
combination of techniques aimed squarely at pummeling your
opponent...
