A
bitter campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination goes
all the way to the convention and is stolen by the Senate Majority
Leader in a credentials fight. The loser, the moderate California
governor, shocks the nation by launching an independent bid for
the presidency. The Republican Justice Department opens a criminal
investigation into the credentials fight while the GOP candidate,
the incumbent vice-president, seems to be coasting to victory
in the topsy-turvy three-way presidential race. But nothing in
this race is as it appears.
