With the 2012 elections behind us, John Heilemann surveys the battlefield, explaining how all sides see the upcoming issues facing America and their strategies and solutions to solving the looming fiscal crisis to reducing the deficit. Drawing on his two decades covering American politics and policy, Heilemann offers both an insider’s take, bringing audiences into both parties’ war rooms, and a far-seeing analysis of this moment of political and economic upheaval. With bracing candor and sparkling wit, Heilemann connects the dots between events in Washington and the larger forces outside the Beltway, takes on the big questions — How will President Obama govern in his second term? What is the future of the Republican Party? And what about the Tea Party? — and explains the repercussions for governing in the months and years to come.

Election Forecast/Analysis

As Washington remains locked in a state of paralysis and the economy struggles to recover from the Great Recession, much of the American public is convinced that the country is experiencing something close to total system failure. In this presentation, John Heilemann explains the factors and forces that have brought us to this place of acute partisan polarization and economic stagnation, laying blame at the feet of Democrats and Republicans alike. But all is not lost. The American electorate is nowhere near as messed up as its governing institutions, and as they demand a new way forward, one is on the horizon—which Heilemann lays out with his customary passion, enthusiasm, and sense of humor.

American Politics
Election Forecast/Analysis

The dynamics behind the 2008 presidential campaign changed the face of politics forever, but 2012 is shaping up to be just as historic. The coauthors of the New York Times #1 best seller Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime, journalists John Heilemann and Mark Halperin offer a no-holds-barred presentation that encompasses both elections, sharing never-before-told stories from the campaign trail then and now. Already being hailed as “the Woodward and Bernstein of the early 21st century,” Heilemann and Halperin take you behind the scenes of President Obama’s re-election campaign and the operations of his Republican rivals; discuss the forces that will shape not just the outcome in November but American politics and governing for years to come; and even offer a preview of the Game Change sequel on which they are currently at work—and which is sure to be an even bigger blockbuster than the original.
