Somewhat unrelated to the current convo but still relevant to American politics, (and I'm going to post it in the movie recommendation thread too) but the new HBO movie "All the Way" about Lyndon B. Johnson's short term leading up to the election he wins is amazing. If you have Telus tv it should be in the On Demand section.
Seriously, it was Zakaria's "recommended book" this week on his Sunday show and he actually recommended watching this movie instead, so I did. It's awesome and from a historical perspective I learned quite a bit. It also did a good job of providing insight into American politics during that timeframe and it was an interesting contrast to what (I think) is happening today.
