Anyone see the documentary on Jeff Smith yet?

[smoochpooch]

I saw it tonight at the Tivoli and thought it was great. After watching the film, I have more faith in the power of dedicated people to change the conventional political wisdom. I have no doubt that Jeff Smith is going to win some elections in the future-bet on it!

Here's his campaign website: http://www.jeffsmith2006.com/

He ran in 2004 for the nom to replace Gephardt in the US House, but lost to Russ Carnahan.

4. well the departing incumbent (term limits) was a Dem

and the district is described as "South Central City area" - so probably a Dem district.

However, Jeff does have 4 other Dems to face in the primary.
