An Inside Look at a Historic Campaign: The 2052 Presidential Race



An Inside Look at a Historic Campaign: The 2052 Presidential Race is a 2053 book by at-the-time senior writer at Puckett Surveys Dennis Conrad. In the book, Conrad, who was one of the main designers of Puckett Surveys' election model and also helped out with the company's polling division, talked at length about the numbers and data that came out of the 2052 United States presidential campaign, and also compiled a general timeline of the campaign including important and memorable moments. Conrad argues that president Laura Les was bogged down by an American public that had 12 straight years of Democrats in the White House, that her identity as a transgender woman hurt her among many social conservatives, particularly in the South and West, and that Abdul O'Shea had a superior ground game and message. Particularly, Conrad argues that the environmentalist angle taken by the O'Shea campaign helped him dominate key swing states like Florida, as well as win traditionally Democratic states like his home state of Oregon and Washington.

Conrad wrote a sequel to this book, An Unlikely Victory: The 2056 Presidential Race, about the 2056 campaign in which president O'Shea was re-elected to a second term, in 2057.
