Poll question: POLL: Whose 2008 remake of "The War Room" would you like to see?
Behind the scenes in the HQs of each candidate. I was just thinking how much I would like to have been listening in on how the Obama camp reacted to the Wright press frenzy and the decision to make a statement and thought about the 1992 documentary "The War Room".

Haven't really wondered about the Hillary Camp. (Just the thought creeps me out.)

Which would you like to see?

Throw in your own subtitle tag too!

Have fun and don't take it too serious...sheesh.
Who would be so lame as to flame a hypothetical movie thread?

My hypothetical titles:
OBAMA 2008: THE ROAD TO THE WHITE HOUSE - What to do with 99 Kitchen Sinks?


HILLARY 2008: NY HOUSE HUNTERS - A Divorce 9 Years Too Late

1. Actually, I would love to see ...
... a War Room-type doc, with cuts back and forth showing what was happening in BOTH camps throughout the race.

4. For a straight-up remake:
War Room '08: The Obama Campaign.

I've long believed that David Axelrod has modeled the Obama campaign on the Carville-Begala War room, but found a way to improve upon the model. I'd love to see how that operation is run.

For a comedy: Mark Penn: Driving the Bus that Everyone Gets Thrown Under

Get John Goodman to play Penn, and show how he screwed the campaign out of millions of dollars while wolfing down chili-dogs and making cell phone calls to Colombia backstage at Clinton campaign events.

5. There is definitely an Obama documentary in the works
They have been filming for two years, since 2006.

Ed Norton Prepping Obama Documentary

The as-yet-unnamed documentary's co-directors Amy Rice and Alicia Sam have had their cameras rolling since an Obama trip to Africa in 2006, according to the report. He launched his presidential campaign shortly thereafter.
