After the Democratic presidential nomination is stolen by
the Senate Majority Leader in a credentials fight at the
convention, the moderate California governor shocks the
political establishment by launching an independent bid for
the presidency. The FBI and the Justice Department open a
criminal investigation into the credentials dispute while
the Republican candidate, the incumbent vice-president,
seems to be coasting to victory in the topsy-turvy three-way
presidential race. But nothing in this race is as easy or as
simple as it seems: A well-financed terrorist leads a dedicated band of
followers in an attempt to inflict damage on the United
States severe enough to make 9/11 look like a minor event --
and in this election year, he knows just how to do it. The first African-American presidential nominee in history
is badly hobbled by a conservative revolt led by a
politically savvy religious broadcaster. A conflict looms with a newly nuclear Iran, and the
lame-duck President plans a military strike against that nation. A sex scandal on the eve of the election sends the campaign
into chaos. As the election nears, the potential seems large for a
cliff-hanger finish in which no candidate wins a majority of
the electoral vote. Will the election be thrown into the
House of Representatives, where a shrewd and devious Speaker
is torn between his voracious ambition and his
constitutional duty? Created by a veteran of seven presidential campaigns with a
quarter century of experience as a political strategist,
Dark Horse sizzles with authenticity and reads truer than
non-fiction. Offering a looking-glass into presidential
politics on the eve of the 2008 election, Dark Horse
contains characters, plot twists, and rare insight relevant
to the real-life presidential campaign now underway.
