Johnson has assembled an outstanding team of political scientists and political professionals to examine one of the fiercest and most closely fought presidential elections of our time. Like its predecessor on the 2008 race, Campaigning for President 2012: Strategy and Tactics focuses on political management. It is written by both campaigns and elections scholars and practitioners, who highlight the role of political consultants and campaigns while also emphasizing the strategy and tactics employed by the candidates, the national political parties, and outside interests. The contributors explore the general mood of the electorate in the 2012 election, the challenges Obama faced after his first term, the primaries, money, communication, the important issues of the election, and finally the election itself. This is the most comprehensive and broad treatment of the 2012 presidential election available.POLITICAL SCIENCEbisacGeneralbisacPresidentsElection2012United StatesPolitical campaignsUnited StatesGovernment - U.SHILCCLaw, Politics & GovernmentHILCCPolitical Institutions & Public Administration - U.S., Executive BranchHILCCUnited StatesPolitics and government2009-POLITICAL SCIENCEGeneralPresidentsElectionPolitical campaignsGovernment - U.S.Law, Politics & GovernmentPolitical Institutions & Public Administration - U.S., Executive Branch324.9730932Johnson Dennis W568627Johnson Dennis WPQKBBOOK9910809762603321Campaigning for President : Strategy and Tactics, 2012 edition (2nd Edition)3921607UNINA
