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. 2420165 6 1 2009 08: A Graphic Diary of the Campaign Trail total:35|5:7|4:21|3:5|2:2|1:0| 35 138 64 12 2 1 false false Fri Mar 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 04 08:29:44 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 06 08:16:02 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Thu May 28 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu May 28 16:46:45 -0700 2009 Thu May 28 20:28:58 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Apr 28 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 29 11:30:29 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 29 11:39:45 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 23 08:59:26 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 23 09:21:15 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon May 04 14:51:24 -0700 2009 Mon May 04 14:57:08 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 05 12:49:39 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 05 13:20:19 -0800 2009 Toni Morrison once indicated, B...more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Apr 30 19:44:30 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 30 19:50:28 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed May 20 07:07:17 -0700 2009 Wed May 20 07:08:51 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 17:17:57 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 17:19:03 -0800 2009 http://blog.newsarama.com/2009/01/31/rev...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 22 20:09:57 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 22 20:10:53 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Feb 10 10:22:39 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 10 10:23:54 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Tue Feb 24 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 10 16:30:36 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 24 17:31:31 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 08 18:37:50 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 18:37:50 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 08 06:55:19 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 08 06:55:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 27 12:09:26 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 14:40:36 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Sep 02 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 15:54:45 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 15:54:55 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Aug 26 10:36:13 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 26 10:36:13 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Nov 05 18:05:31 -0800 2009 Wed Aug 12 14:08:29 -0700 2009 Thu Nov 05 17:17:49 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Aug 11 11:07:49 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 14:14:08 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 11 11:07:49 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jul 25 10:22:54 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 25 10:22:54 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2412988
