Anyone know why HBO Films has been following Dean lately?

[dajabr]

Are they planning a broad piece about the Election, or are we going to get an updated version of "The War Room?"

After all, Trippi is being touted as the new Carville, and the tag line for the 1993 Clinton Campaign Documentary was:

"They Changed The Way Campaigns Are Won."

1. lol, he's good, but he's NO Carville

I'm sorry, but Trippi has done amazing things and will leave his mark on this party; but the James Carville's of the world only surface once in a millenium.

2. They've Been Following Me Around, Too

But that might be because I'm a crack hooker.

3. I know!

A few month ago, I caught a similar documentary of Dubya on HBO--They followed him through the whole campaign and got lots of footage of the chimp setting on tour buses and on places..behind the scenes at the rallies, etc. They may be doing it for all of the candidates in preparation of a future feature like this.

4. Yes...Dean certainly does get much more attention

than any of the others. And so early in the primary race. Amazing, isn't it?

5. Two posiblities come to mind

They're going to do something with him in the "K-Street" series that uses real life political figures. (Think "Arliss" produced by Clooney and about politics) or Pelosi's daughter is covering him for her deal with HBO.
