NYDN "Kerry's not- so-amazing race, on film"

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/gossip/story/349711p-298362c.html


"I hear that John Kerry loyalists are kicking themselves for cooperating last year with filmmaker Steve Rosenbaum on "Inside the Bubble," a potentially devastating behind-the-scenes look at the Massachusetts senator's failed presidential campaign.
I'm also told that Hillary Clinton partisans are licking their chops to see the film, which "could end up being the silver bullet that kills Kerry's presidential chances for 2008," says a Lowdown spy." snip

...Kerry didn't claim his victory in '04.

He's forfeited another chance.

improve the next run.. :)

so is this gossip person a Republican. He sure isn't painting either Kerry or Clinton in a particularly good light. This almost reads like a Republican gossip column.

We don't need a messy primary, but boy would it serve the Republicans well if the Democrats exhaust their campaign funds fighting each other.

drooling over Kerry's demise is not an appealing image to have stuck in one's head.

The text is taken straight from the National Journal, which both parties rely on and has made a name for itself as being objective. It will, however, concede to treating politics as a game as much as politicians do.

Babbling in Italian, indeed.

Crap from a bull.

about the Bush campaign?

I'm waiting for Vanessa's film to come out about her dad's campaign.
That's the one I want to see.

I actually want to see both of them. The fact that there is even a video of the Kerry campaign says to me that they didn't have anything too horrible to hide. Apparently shrub had a lot he didn't want us to see.

alone would make B** out to be the creep he is.

It sounds like they're treating this like one big fucking game. That is, of course, if you can believe gossip.

I hope they and she don't think that getting Kerry out of the way will mean that it will be clear sailing without his interference.

They forget that the more liberal folks vote in the primaries. And she's not exactly their pal at the moment.

Here's a better, or at least less gossipy, write up:

"A Democratic Look in the Mirror
So, the word is out. We'll see what that means. Wonkettte today broke the news that after almost 18 months of soul searching, hair pulling, and long nights... the film known as "Inside The Bubble" will premier in New York on September 29th.

Those of you who've followed this film know that it's been an emotional road. No one sets out to make a film about a losing candidate for President. We though we were chronicalling a winner. And after that fateful day in November, 2004 - we spent a bunch of months with the footage under lock and key. But in the end - it seemed like someone needed to pull thier head out of the sand and ask the painful question 'What Happened?'

That said - the 80 min. film should give Democrats alot to think about. Which is not to say the film is grim - far from it. The truth is the experience of being on the road with the Kerry team was upbeat, exhausting, and expensive. But in the end - the questions come down to ideas. Who has them. Who can express them. And how many American's are willing to sign up for a candidates platform. I won't spoil the movie - except to say, it's not what you expect.

The 'Inside The Bubble' screenings - Thursday Sept. 29th, 6pm screening / The Phillips Theatre. Second screening Sunday at 4pm at the Milk 2 Theatre.

Do you know the time frame they were filming?

so it couldn't have been to far before the election.

The film itself might be interesting, but Lloyd Grove and his snark is getting on my nerves. Then again, I don't normally read gossip columns, esp. not from papers that, unless I'm mistaken, have a conservative bent.

I'm always fascinated by behind the scenes looks at campaigns, though. I thought "Staffers" was very good, so this may be good, too.

All else is a waste of time and bull-dust to supposedly analyze how or why Kerry lost. Of course he had flaws as a candidate. All HUMANS do. But that's NOT why he lost.

If Hilary uses this to her advantage, that's just another reason why I'd never vote for her.

I find it amusing that Kerry remains so popular they feel they have to continue to discredit him. I bet this film is actually benign and Kerry comes off as being more down to earth and likable.

EOM

I don't normally read him.

FWIW, I'm finishing up a documentary about parts of the Kerry campaign and other tidbits from the 2004 election. I promise to only take aim at the Rethugs and the willing MSM though...Kerry's message was there if you were interested enough and made an effort to see him live. I've decided to add some things about the Katrina disaster...

A trailor from a while ago:
Quicktime
Windows Media

Gore, Hillary, Clark, and perhaps Edwards and Feingold will be the major contenders, imo.

Of course, a lot can happen between now and then....

As for the film, it sounds like a load of bull.

and then again, it's somewhat telling, Shrum notwithstanding, that some folks refused to speak to the fellow making the film. Makes me wonder why.

Nobody knows what the political landscape is going to be like three years from now. I am going to keep saying this because we all know it's true. We need to be focused on 2006. Whoever runs in 2008 (and hopefully wins the presidency) is going to have a huge, massive, I mean MASSIVE mess to clean up after * leaves office. Some of us are forgetting that.


2006, 2006, 2006, then we will have a clear picture of who's running.

Campaigns are rough, and kissing and telling does not help.
