Check out the comments. Even the viewers are smart enough NOT to watch the show due to the lefty bias.

Even John Adams had an anti-GOP slant, but not as in-your-face as this Dumocrap propaganda flick.

Last year's Jim Broadbent biopic "Longford" was seen by only 600,000 viewers, however, and later went on to win three Golden Globe awards.

With all these 61” LCDs we bought, maybe Americans are sick’n’tired of President Osama and Mrs. Bill Clinton 24/7/365?

Just loved the timing of "Recount"...and McClennan's Book.

The Dems are soooo obvious.

HBO is good for:

John Adams
Deadwood
ROME

A few other assorted shows, that is about it.

One thing we need to remember in connection with the Real 2000 recount is how important it is to have Republicans in charge of voting in as many states as possible, and especially in key states.

You know that if there are Dem governors, secretaries of state, and other officers in charge of voting they will be stealing as many elections as they can (probably most of the close ones). We need to ensure there are Republicans in those positions to keep the elections honest.

Even if some of us have a problem voting for the Republican presidential candidate, we need to make sure we vote Republicans for state offices.

I watched it yesterday. Warren Christopher and the entire Gore team are the heros merely wanting every vote to count. Merely wanting to know who REALLY won or lost. Baker and the Bush team are the hardball politicians ready to steamroll anybody in their way. They are better planned, and better prepared for the backdoor politics needed to steal an election. Gore is just about to pass Bush in the recount when the Supreme Court stops it with about an hour left.

Harris is a mindless buffoon who is basically a puppet of the GOP lobbyist Mac “the knife” Stipanovich.

Members of the Bush team like Olson are awarded with cushy administration jobs for their good work.

I watched it expecting the worst, but didn’t think it was so bad...

I thought they made Christopher look like a bafoon who was in over his head, and Howard Baker looked like the smart one.

They did a hit job on Kathrine Harris for sure.

They did give Spacey’s character the line, “I just want to find out who really won this election!”, despite the fact that all of his legal strategies were designed to produce more Gore votes rather than an objective tally.

And then they were a little goofy in bashing the SCOTUS decision.

It certainly had a leftward bias, but not nearly as bad as I expected.

"Just loved the timing of "Recount"...and McClennan's Book."

Funny thing is - HBO came out with that show just as the Dems are setting up to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of Florida voters by invoking the "rules".

Where were the "rules" in 2000 when "every vote (needed to be) counted"? It's too funny!

They explained that by showing a huge projection of a military ballot with no postmark and no witnessing signature. The film maker wanted to make very sure that the audience understood why they tried to throw out the military votes.

Let's hope they make a sequel “2008 Democrat Primary”.

The ending of Rome was weak, and Deadwood, well, I’m still waiting.

And they still haven't been counted.
