England for Obama

Here’s your reading for the next seven days, folks.

Newsweek magazine had reporters inside the Obama and McCain camps for a year in the run-up to the election – but they were only allowed to be there on condition that their stories would be published after the election was over.

So now you can read these behind-the-scenes reports – and boy, are they fascinating. No, really. From tantrums to tactics, they’re an amazing insight into what the candidates (and those around them) are really like, and what really happened on the campaign trails. And I’ve only read the first three chapters…

Ch. 1: Barack Obama: How He Did It

Ch. 2: John McCain: Back From the Dead?

Ch. 3: The Long Clinton-Obama Siege

Ch. 4: McCain Camp Retools, Targets Obama

Ch. 5: Obama Sweats the Clintons, McCain Gambles on Palin

Ch. 6: Battling it Out in the Great Debates

Ch. 7: The Final Days

Enjoy. It’s like The West Wing - only real.
