And one that whould accomplish any thoughtful person effort. The 2004 presidential accelerate came down to a wire that stretched across Ohio. The film makers taped the accelerate from the perspective of both sides. The stratagists on both sides are surprisingly originate about their tactics and, more importantly, about their opinions. Whatever the true merits of either party’s platform; Polls showed that the voters in Ohio agreed more with the Democratic positions, but in the destroy more voted Republican, largely because the Republican’s kept their message simple: “You might not agree with George Bush but at least you’ll know where he stands.”
Kerry’s message meanwhile (although more Ohio voters actually agreed with it) was scattered and lacked a theme. Kerry was his maintain worst enemy. He had a proclivity for tripping over his tongue, soundbites of which the Republicans were able to utilize in their “Flip Flop” attacks. And when he should’ve spoken up during the swift boat attack ads, he remained collected. He also allowed himself to be taped doing something other than riding a horse or chopping wood, which seems to be a spacious mistake in American politics. That his handlers allowed him to go wind surfing should’ve cost them any future political employment. I half expected to search for him curling in the next shot.

One Republican stratagist admits he was relieved when Howard Dean’s campaign crashed and burned, because he knew it would be easier to subterfuge Kerry. The Republican stratagists were quite shrewd, while the Democratic stratagists may not have grand to race a highschool campaign.
One simple gloomy truth that emerges is that attack ads work. The electorate claims that they’re sick of mud slinging and that they don’t reply to it, but in fact they do. And campaign stratagists are (or should be) well aware of this.
Another truth that emerges is the explain superficiality of a campaign process that’s all about TV images and smear jobs. I’m surprised more people don’t withhold away from the voting booths.
I was surprised that the supporters of either side really cared that worthy about their candidate or their party. Both sides had supporters who were incandescent and unprejudiced and dedicated, and who believed in what they were doing. And yet I had this feeling that what their party apparatus had to offer them for their herculean efforts wasn’t enough. To the victor goes a flat glass of champaign. To the vanquished goes the same. And if they said “participating in the democratic process was enough of a reward for them” I’d remind them that a process that lacks any kind of objective dialog or exchange of ideas can hardly be called democratic. If it rests soley on mud slinging and ‘image’ it’s a beauty contest, and it’s a damed shame.

This is a very troublesome documentary. If you fill that democracy is a suited thing and that it hindges on a well informed electorate you’ll be saddened to behold this. But examine it you must.
With interviews of strategists from both parties, the filmmaker presents a remarkably balanced and informative explore at politics in Ohio during the 2004 Presidential election. Some issues, like game-playing with the number of voting machines in each district, are only glancingly mentioned, but the overall presentation helps in conception how Kerry lost.
