The Cronkite Campaign Christopher Widuch

Jack Nelson finds himself at the center of a storm. An unexpected candidate for President, he is virtually guaranteed to win if he follows the advice of his political advisors. But following their advice requires a compromise of his principles, and a betrayal of his father's memory. Jack Nelson is forced to deal with staff members more concerned with their professional success than his election. He and his family must confront a media biased in favor of controversy over accuracy, and the threat of scandal created by an unscrupulous incumbent President fighting to hold on to power. The Cronkite Campaign is a journey punctuated by choices between what is expedient and what is right. Jack Nelson lives in a political world, where the best choice is not always clear.
