I picked this game up last weekend, and I've had 3 opportunities to play it. It is a 2-player Card-Driven strategy game built around the Nixon and Kennedy campaigns in the 1960 Election. Within the game, the actual events of the campaign, such as the Cook County returns in JFK's favor, Nixon's knee injury, and anti-Catholic sentiment against JFK, drive the campaign. Players compete for support in all 50 states, vie for control of the media, work to dominate the issues of the day, receive regional endorsements, and compete in the debates.
At first, it takes about 2-2.5 hours to play, but after awhile it looks like it becomes a 90 minute game.
Here's the BoardGameGeek entry for this game.

It is well-produced and painstakingly researched.
