HBO's cinematic retelling of the Florida recount debuts Sunday night. It's good stuff.

Don't take my word for it -- over at U.S. News and World Report we got a a top staffer from each side in the recount struggle to watch the movie and react to it.

Republican lawyer Ben Ginsberg had the best line: "Republicans won the recount. Democrats won the movie. This should not surprise us."

Democratic lawyer Jeffrey Robinson says he finally has an answer to the question: What was it like?

They both agree that the movie makes good entertainment, and OK history. (For my own brief thoughts, click here.)

Watching this movie would be torture for anyone who cares about this country, so why relive a nightmare?

As a result of the stolen election, we are now entering an economic perfect storm, where many people will no longer be able to afford to live.

What does our congress do to help today? Democrat "leader" Reid will continue to fund
the Iraq war as he declines to extend unemployment benefits for the jobless. Some Democrat!

As much as many refuse to admit it, Nader was right. Democrat or Republican might as well be the same brand.

I hate that they resensationalize the hanging chad story. It was a minor tangent that the press played up to distract from the brazen hijacking of the election by the Supreme Court.

Read "None Dare Call it Treason" by Vincent Bugliosi to see exactly how and why the election was stolen by the Supreme Court.
