You Say You Want a Revolution: The Political Landscape in Transformation
Preview Speech Clip
From his two decades covering everything from the global media industry and Silicon Valley to the White House and Capitol Hill—and now as the co-author of The New York Times #1 best seller Game Change—John Heilemann is among the sharpest-eyed and most plugged-in chroniclers of the power game in American journalism today. With his unrivaled access to the kingpins in both parties and the world of business, Heilemann offers at once an insider’s take and a far-seeing analysis of the political and economic scene in a time of upheaval as we head toward the 2010 midterm elections. Will President Obama be able to regain his footing and lead his party back from the brink? Will Democrats keep their hold on Congress? Is the Republican Party resurgent—or still deeply in disarray? With bracing candor and good humor, Heilemann connects the dots between events in Washington and the larger forces outside the Beltway, and explains the repercussions for governing and elections in the months and years to come.

Preview Speech Clip
The 2008 presidential election was as captivating and historic a political spectacle as most of us have ever witnessed. The campaign became blockbuster entertainment; everyone was watching. But Game Change co-author John Heilemann shows that what we saw was only the half of it. In this riveting talk, Heilemann tells the stories behind the headlines about the larger-than-life personalities—from Barack Obama and the Clintons to John McCain and Sarah Palin—who made 2008 such an extraordinary race, and who continue to dominate the political scene. In his rollicking, pull-no-punches style, Heilemann reveals who these people really are and explains why character is destiny; pinpoints how the last campaign changed the way elections will be fought in the future; and analyzes the deeper social, cultural and technological dynamics that are shaping the electoral landscape in the early 21st century.
Game Change: Joint Presentation with John Heilemann and Mark Halperin
The dynamics behind the 2008 presidential campaign have changed the face of politics forever. Based on their 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 share their gripping account and never-before-told stories from the campaign trail. Already being hailed as “the Woodward and Bernstein of the early 21st century,” Heilemann and Halperin look ahead in helping audiences understand what the 2008 contest—and the character traits that the campaign revealed in President Obama, Secretary Clinton, Sarah Palin and the rest—will mean for the future of American electioneering and governing.
