    This is a really great documentary about politics I saw a few years ago. You have the young, hard working, idealistic challenger against the corrupt long-time incumbent with a powerful political machine working for him. It is truly eye-opening to see just how corrupt the machine can still be. Although Booker loses this race, we still have a happy ending. Eventually Cory Booker becomes the next mayor of Newark, NJ and they post some of the best crime reduction statistics in the United States. The incumbent, Sharpe James, eventually is found guilty of fraud and sentences to 27 months in prison!

    I don't think I have seen that film, but I am familiar with the players. Thanks for the heads-up. I'll try to find it and watch!
