Captures the energy and tactics behind the Democrats’ reversal of fortune . . . Especially interesting to see Rahm Emanuel in action.

  -Philip J. Cook, Co-author, The Winner-Take-All Society

Awesome . . . moves adroitly from the grassroots to the Congress and other “halls of power.”

          -Rye Barcott, Fellow in Social Entrepreneurship, Harvard University

The best film I’ve seen about elections in a very long time.

-Norman J. Ornstein, Resident Scholar, American Enterprise Institute

This insightful movie shows how the business of electioneering seeps from Washington into every competitive local congressional race in America.

           -Scott MacKay, political analyst, WRNI/Rhode Island Public Radio

Timely and important . . . In the tradition of classic political documentaries like Primary and The War Room, the film does what the mainstream media doesn’t – it gets behind the headlines and  helps us understand the dramatic political changes that are occurring in this country.

The candid look at Emanuel . . . zeroes in on his efforts to recruit candidates for tough races in swing districts which eventually paid off.
