From the bestselling author of The Battle for America 2008
and longtime Washington Post correspondent, an inside view
and analysis of the Obama-Romney presidential race Four years ago, a bright young presidential candidate named
Barack Obama campaigned on a theme of hope and change, and
made history. Today, he finds himself in another bitter,
divisive presidential race but without the buzzwords.
Instead, an embattled president struggles with a
dysfunctionally divided Congress, the controversial
healthcare bill, a decade-long war, and a stagnant economy. Obama’s Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, former corporate
tycoon and former governor of Massachusetts, faces his own
controversies in the form of vague policies, fluctuating
positions, and questions about his business practices in the
private sector. Romney’s personal fortune and business
background seemed at odds with the Republican base until he
named Wisconsin congressman, Tea Party darling and fiscal
conservative Paul Ryan as his running mate. Using sources deep inside both campaigns and on the campaign
trail through primary and battleground states, Washington
Post correspondent Dan Balz writes with a keen political
mind and a seasoned reporter’s ear. He traces the highs and
lows of the Obama presidency as well as the ruthless
Republican primary as both laid the groundwork for one of
the most crucial, contentious elections of our time.
Collision 2012 puts the race for the White House in context
and explores just what the election means for the future of
the democratic process and America.
