Have you seen the 13 minute documentary
On McSame and the Keating 5? I'm wondering what your opinion is. Will the average person be moved by it?

I'm concerned it is too long, it doesn't move quick enough to hold the Average American's attention and the message will be lost. Should I have more faith in my countrymen and women?

1. I think the video was more for us Dems so we
are educated about exactly what it is. That way we can talk about it knowledgably.

In addition...I never thought that Keating was brought up to "change" minds of voters. I think it was more of a head-fake to the McSame campaign to short of shove shit right back at them when they try to hit Obama personally. Smack us and we'll smack you right back.

2. Thought it was terrific in a "City Confidential" way.
The manner in which the video uses as much real-life footage as possible from the hearing, and intertwines the interview with an actual witness to McCain's lack of ethics, was very damning! I was surprised (and maybe disappointed) to log on to DU and find almost no chatter about it.

3. what choice do we have..
but, to have some faith in our countrymen and women? For me, it could have been longer. I would like to know more about how de-regulation made the fraud that Charles Keating and Neil Bush committed possible.
