The timing may be just right for George Clooney's probing tale, The Ides of March, which Sony Pictures is positioning as a political thriller, but comes across more as a political fable.
If you're too high-minded to get down in the mud with your opponent -- but your opponent can grab victory by playing dirty -- who's the winner?
