The Political Machine is a turn-based political strategy game that takes place in the 2008 American presidential elections. Players assume the role of a candidate and attempt to win the election. The satirical theme is a trademark of the series.

OverviewThe Political Machine 2008 is a turn-based U.
S. presidential election campaign manager simulation, which puts players in charge of organizing and running a presidential campaign. The player can choose a series of pre-set candidates from either of the two main political parties, or they can create their own. The aim of the game is to win at least 270 electoral college votes on election day, thereby winning the presidency. In order to do this, the player will send their candidate, their VP candidate, or a series of surrogates to different states throughout the country in order to increase their candidate's approval rating. Players can organize speech appearances, create advertisements, win endorsements and manage field offices - all while competing with the opposing party's candidate on a wide range of issues in a battle to win over undecided voters.Playable CandidatesDemocrats Fmr.
