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.

This is the the best thing I’ve seen yet on the campaigns of two very different men. Simply fascinating. I caught it on PBS, but it’ll also be available on OnDemand in some areas.
