George Gorton (born March 30, 1947) is a Republican political consultant from California, United States. He has helped lead national political campaigns in Russia, Panama, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Canada and the United States.

Gorton served on the national campaign teams of Presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan. He managed all of Governor Pete Wilson's successful Gubernatorial and US Senate races.

В 1996 году Борис Ельцин, больной и ненавидимый, баллотировался на второй срок в качестве президента России. Перед ним стоял кандидат от коммунистов Геннадий Зюганов, которого хвалили те, кого забыл постсоветский переходный период. В начале гонки у Ельцина было всего 3% голосов, но, несмотря ни на что, ему удалось переизбраться, набрав почти 54% голосов. Как он мог победить?
