It was on earlier. I caught the last 15 mins or so. It was pretty interesting. It's on again at 12:45 ET on IFC.

2. Yes!
I love the guy dressed up in a huge Chicken costume with the sign that said "Poultry Farmers for Bush" or something like that...so they let him into the Bush I rally (or was it the RNConvention?) where he promptly turned the sign around to read "Bush is a Chicken."

Poultry Farmers for Bush. LOL.

4. Yep--I have it on DVD
I occationally pop it in to remind me of the good ol' days. I love the scene where Gore is giving his speech. ("Everything that ought to be up is down, everything that ought to be down is up!") Wooden my ass . . . :eyes:

It is an interesting behind-the-scenes look at how a national campaign is run. Many of my poli sci professors use it in many of their classes even today.
