Campaign juggling -- Planning for chaos -- Challengers : the search for an experienced virgin -- The challenger who couldn't lose : Hillary Clinton in 2008 -- Incumbents : regicide or more of the same -- The unbeatable incumbent : George Bush in 1992 -- Successors : lapdogs or leaders -- The successor with peace and prosperity : Al Gore in 2000 -- Teams that work -- Is this any way to pick a president?
Summary: Looking at the last 60 years of races for the White House, Popkin analyzes why some "inevitable" winners lost and how dark horses won against long odds.
