The polls are in. The crowd is cheering, balloons are falling and the music is playing. A cheerful candidate has just won the biggest election of his career. But wait. Rewind. Politics isn’t all fanfare and bugle blowing. It’s not just motorcades and parades. The campaign is a journey through mishaps, misunderstandings, and miscommunications. And that’s just the first week. As personalities collide and the intelligent make the unintelligent look intelligible, the campaign process trucks on, manipulating the American mind and pulling on its heart strings.
Behind the scenes, one man, the campaign manager makes it all happen. Bobbie Grant is a down on his luck Campaign Manager. He graduated from The University of Texas, the same school that his father and father’s father attended. He started his political career in 4th grade when he petitioned to have all school lockers painted the color red because it would stimulate creative thinking. He has been active in politics ever since, starting with his first job as a White House page. He worked his way in, out and around all aspects of the political arena, eventually finding his calling as a campaign manager. He has little interest in running himself, but the more unqualified people he helps get into office, the more it becomes a consideration.
