"FRONTLINE's critically acclaimed series "The Choice" returns this election season to examine the rich personal and political biographies of John McCain and Barack Obama in "The Choice 2008." The film draws on in-depth interviews with the advisers, friends and those closest to the candidates, as well as with seasoned observers of American politics, who together tell the definitive story of these men and their ascent to their party’s nominations.’

Hear Dave Price, political reporter and anchor for WHO-TV, describe the controversy surrounding the decision of the 2012 Iowa Caucus. In his book, "Caucus Chaos" presidential candidates, staffers and activists reveal never before told inside accounts of what happened, why they occurred and how they impacted the final results. Price shares the story behind the 2012 Iowa Caucuses with a look ahead to what the disputed finish means for the 2016 contest.
