I looked back several pages to see if this movie had been covered on here. I quit after several pages, so if it has been, my apologies.

My thoughts of this George Clooney produced, directed and acted- a democrats wet dream basically. How many times was the GOP described so horribly in this movie? Ok, we get it George, your a dem as is about 90% of your collegues. I tried hard to get past this, but it was damn hard. Even the dems and repubs probably don't think like this about each other. But when I was able to, at times the movie tried to be a good movie. It did give a decent glimpse into the inner workings of a campaign, the strategies, the personalities and how fickle it all is. And, I suppose in an odd way, props as well for the idealogue driven candidate Morris who has his own typical penile skeleton, and the ideologue staffer Stephen Myers played by Ryan Gossling who learns the hard way after being warned from Marissa Tomei, who played a great supporting role s Ida Horrowicz as a times political columnist. She told him that MOrris was going to let him down, and he does. Then, at the near end, we see how winning comes before ideology and destroys what was once a clean campaign and ideologically driven, but then compromised away with scandal vs. scandal. The very end though.... the movie literally just stops. Clooney, WTF?
