"In 2004, political bloggers came of age. They propelled Howard Dean from fringe candidate to front-runner. They took on Dan Rather and won. And they charted the course for the "swiftboating" of John Kerry. As the 2006 mid-term elections approached, bloggers were preparing for battle again. Filmmakers James Rogan and Phil Craig's sharp documentary examines how online democratic activism is shaping important elections by focusing on the decisive Connecticut senate race and Ned Lamont's challenge to incumbent Joe Lieberman."

Crooks and Liars has a couple of videos up about it. Pertaining to the time that Lieberman accused Lamont of hacking his website. Of course we know now and knew then that was not true at all.

I have not seen this documentary, but it sounds very blunt and interesting.

On edit forgot the Sundance link:

1. Crooks and Liars video is working now...interesting.

Lieberman campaign should be called on this. We know the AG said Lamont had nothing to do with it.
