The guest list, liberally sprinkled with members of Congress, political consultants and lobbyists, tipped decidedly to one side of the aisle. It included Richard Ben-Veniste, a member of the commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks; Paul Begala, a political adviser in the Clinton White House; Representative Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, a former Clinton aide; Senator Tom Daschle of South Dakota, the minority leader; and Terry McAuliffe, the Democratic national chairman.
Senator Bob Graham of Florida said, "There might be half of the Democratic Senate here."
Indeed, Harvey Weinstein of Miramax Films, in introducing the film, looked around the audience said, "I think they've done a wonderful job at bringing together a bipartisan audience."
