It is a win-win situation for those who support George W Bush. Any attempts to pressure/pull the documentary will cause media attention of some sort.
In short, the more attention it gets, the better.
Howard Hughes, I think back in the 1940s, pulled a major Hollywood marketing breakthrough by saying a movie was too hot to show, so they shelved it for about a year or two.
Then there was much greater demand to see the movie based on the controversy.
Sinclair can cause the Kerry record of supporting communist North Vietnam to come to the surface -- one way or another.
This made this movie earn more than if he had released it in 1941.
So if the liberals decide to challenge Sinclair, the publicity surrounding John Kerry's support of communism will be read by many Americans, even if Sinclair is somehow blocked from showing the film.
But since there is Freedom of the Press, the Liberals will have a tough time blocking Sinclair after the Dan Rather Fiasco with the forged documents.
Note the above is my opinion on what the next few weeks will have in store.
Finally, we need to hear more of the great progress our Troops in Iraq (and Afghanistan) have made in areas of helping the Iraqi people rebuild their Infrastructure.
