what swayed me for jarmon, when bill says, the 'problem' is, something like, the system puts:

'the needs of the polluters over the needs of the public.'

huh? whaa?

the movie tries to put across the idea that vague obfuscation, is in reality: deep mental philosophical nuance.

jarmon! jarmon! jarmon! 

Its an interesting film. Funny how political candidates have been packaged into these 'Jarmon' and 'McKay' type paradigms for decades. Its really cynical.

McKay strikes me as the John Edwards type, with the great hair, cheating on his wife while she has cancer, etc.

The actor who played Crocker Jarmon was really good.

-agree.

just will add michael ritchie is one of my favorite directors (top 5); there's no real sanctimonious judgment in any of his films, like: 'downhill racer', 'smile, 'prime cut', 'bad news bears', 'fletch'. and most of all he finds this idea of 'winning' interesting. yes, but who is winning? and why?
