I missed it due to a graduate class :( so I wondered if anyone else had seen it. I was surprised not to see anything posted here about it. If you did watch it what did you think? Good? Bad? Valuable info? Waste of time? Are you planning to watch McCain later tonight?

I watched it. It was okay. A little disjointed, I would have editted it differently, put quotes in different areas. Wouldn't alter my vote.


Reminded me of a scene in a book about a candidate from Chicago. I think he did a similar informational thing. Bishop in the West Wing by Andrew Greeley.

I did watch it and IMHO it was depressing. I just felt bad for the families he had on that were struggling with job loss, groceries, just getting by day by day. It was done by Davis Guggenheim who did Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. I think that it goes back to the message that "it's not about me, it's about you". It was very moving. I don't think it will change anyone's views though.

I agree, I just watched it on YouTube. I thought it was good. I was already voting for Obama, so it doesn't change anything for me, but it did confirm for my why I think he is the best candidate. He does 'get it' and I don't think McCain does yet.

A waste of millions and millions of dollars that could have gone to help those poor people instead of making spectacles of them. There is no end to Barry's self-adulation.
