If you followed or were at all interested in the 2008 presidential election, this 7-part series by a group of Newsweek reporters is a must read. The reporters were granted exclusive access to the campaigns of Barack Obama, John McCain, and Hillary Clinton for 1 year on the condition that they wouldn’t print anything until after the election was over. The series, of which the first 3 parts are currently up on the Newsweek site, is a fascinating look at how the political process works and contains all manner of salacious political gossip.
