Can Mr. Smith Get to Washington Anymore? |

I would like to suggest that member of DU watch the documentary film "Can Mr. Smith Get to Washington Anymore". It was a great documentary that covered the 2006 election race for the seat from which Dick Gephardt was retiring. The film follows Jeff Smith a 29 year old new comer to campaigns as he trys to win the seat that ten other Democrats, including Russ Carnahan, are running for. I think this film was very interesting. It may anger some people as a result of the ending of the film.

They make sure they are corrupt before they let them inside the walls of Congress.
Mr Smith simply slipped through the cracks.
