To quote Bubba: “Mistakes are made”.
Was Primary Colors worth seeing? Not a big fan of Travolta.
What are the statical odds folks that all the undercounts would be in Hillary’s favor and against Obama — by accident?
It was entertaining, and may have been light on some of the facts, but a good story nonetheless. It was supposed to be fictionalized info-tainment of the campaign of the Slick One. If you have a few spare bucks for the DVD rental, it may make for some good entertainment some evening. Juxtipose Hillary for the candidate, and let your mind wander - looking forward to "Primary Colors II" if someone has the stones to slam Hillary.
