This is the last week of the longest presidential campaign in living
memory. You may have watched and read (almost) everything in the last
18 months, but this final dash will be unlike anything else that came
before--including Mike Huckabee’s guitar shows and Hillary Clinton’s
Crown Royal.
For the campaigns, every stumble feels like a disaster, and every punch
gets hyped as a knockout. And for two reporters who have covered these
rival campaigns from the outset, every detail is worth sharing. Or the
ones fit for a family audience, anyway.
At the end of the week, one of these presidential candidates will make
history. So this is a chronicle of the final push up the last hill
before Decision Day. Here you’ll find the sights, sounds and strategy
on display aboard the creaking plane, at the back of the smelly bus,
and on the floor of the overcrowded rally.
Welcome to the Sprint to the Oval. Come back early and often. Before it’s all over.
