It's called "Recount." It's a good movie, if you can watch it without screaming to the heavens in rage and frustration. It stars Kevin Spacey as Ron Klain, who was the hero in the Greek tragedy dressed as an election. Klain was Al Gore's former chief of staff who, during the course of the recount fiasco, became the champion for the cause of having the votes recounted. Kevin Spacey In a scene from HBO's "Recount Dennis Leary plays Michael Whouley, national field director for the campaign; Laura Dem does a good job of making Katherine Harris, Florida secretary of state, seem like a truly doltish woman in heavy makeup; and Bob Balaban portrays Ben Ginsberg, national counsel to the BushCheney campaign.
Butterfly ballots, dimpled chads, urgent dispatches from Volusia County, Fla.: Is it really more than seven years since the most contentious, contested presidential election of our time? It is -- and "Recount" brings it alive again, entertainingly but at times with too much dramatic license.

WASHINGTON - The Democratic Party has a self-image problem. Talk to Democrats at every level about the strong position the party is in for this fall's elections and the conversation inevitably ends with a variation of: "Yeah, if we don't blow it." Karl Rove's greatest victory is how much he has spooked Democrats about themselves. This, in turn, leads to a problem among political elites and, especially, fund-raisers: While Republicans believe in their party and in the cause of building its organization from bottom to top, Democratic sympathizers tend to focus on favorite causes and favorite candidates, notably in presidential years.

Though every major player on the Democratic side-the Democratic National Committee (DNC), the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), the unions, the environmental groups, the feminist and reproductive rights organizations-can point to a higher level of activity than in the last midterm election, many leading Democrats fear that this year's operation may come up short in two crucial particulars: mobilizing the sometime base voters, particularly African Americans, and devoting enough resources to the ground game in the growing number of contested House districts. Outside the official party organizations, the America Votes coalition, which first emerged in 2004 to coordinate the campaign activities of the major nonparty pla...

WASHINGTON The national Democratic Party has spent millions on raising money, consulting and building state parties, entering the weeks before Election Day with only about one-fifth as much as the Republicans for races that could decide control of Congress. The Republican National Committee is prepared to spend $60 million over the next seven weeks on advertising and get-out-the- vote efforts to protect the GOP's narrow majorities in the House and Senate.
