2008

2008, based on the real-life 2008 United States presidential election, is a mod for The New Campaign Trail created by u/Verbluffen and u/campaigntrailaccount. Widely regarded as one of the greatest mods of all time, the mod pits Democratic senator from Illinois Barack Obama against Republican senator John McCain.

Candidates
The mod begins by offering the players a choice between youthful Illinois senator Barack Obama on the Democratic side, and respected maverick Arizona senator John McCain. Obama enters the mod with a moderate lead over McCain, one that significantly increases after the advent of the 2008 global bank failures.
