I just finished watching Frontline's 2-hour overview on the 2008 presidential campaign, which focuses on the lives and careers of both John McCain and Barack Obama. I recommend checking it out - I'm sure it will be rerun on PBS, just set your Tivos and DVRs, or you can watch it online here.

This review makes a good point about how the program (which ends with the announcements of the vice president candidates), is really a chronicle of a past campaign, as new issues have taken over in the last few weeks.
Here are a couple of clips from the documentary:
