FRONTLINE and Newsweek magazine join forces to tell the inside story of the 2008 presidential campaign. "The Race 2008," scheduled to air just a week after Election Day, will provide an intimate backstage view of the high human drama of this historic campaign - from the internal conflicts over strategy and tactics, to the bruising battles between key campaign aides, and to the complicated relationships between the advisers, the candidates and their families. The film will cover all stages of the campaign - from twists and turns of the primary season, through the difficult attempts at party unity, the super-heated general campaign with its media air war and get-out-the vote ground war, through the inevitable gaffes, charges and countercharges, to the high-stakes presidential debates and the final exhausted dash to Election Day. "The Race 2008" will feature fresh footage from the campaign trail and candidate headquarters and interviews with key strategists and campaign operatives, with intimates who know the candidates well, and with Newsweek's extensive embedded reporting team, which has been tracking the campaigns from the beginning.
