Series Progress: Episode 1 of 813% Completed
Synopsis
Memorable presidential bids are recalled in this series, beginning with two "straight talkers" who sought the White House: Rep. Shirley Chisholm (D-N.Y.) in 1972 and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in 2000 and 2008. Chisholm, the first major-party black candidate and first woman to seek the high office, billed herself as "unbossed and unbought"; and McCain became known as a "maverick" during the 2000 race. Included: an off-camera showdown between McCain and George W. Bush prior to a TV debate.
