Courting the Michael Moore Vote in N.H.
LACONIA, N.H. -- The more pugnacious among the country's left-leaning Democrats tend to be fond of John Edwards, who pledges that he was "born for this fight." They also tend to be big fans of the work of documentary filmmaker Michael Moore. Is it a surprise, then, that Edwards is not himself an avid follower of Moore.
At a town hall meeting here yesterday, Edwards was asked by Jessica Halm, a high school teacher attending with her 7 week old baby, what he made of the Michael Moore films "Bowling for Columbine," "Fahrenheit 9/11," and "Sicko." Edwards paused for a moment, as if searching his memory, and then said that he thought he had seen the first and the third but not "Fahrenheit 9/11," the provocative 2004 look at President Bush's first term and the start of the war in Iraq, a movie that broke attendance records for a documentary and became a rallying cry for many Democrats. Edwards then went into a lengthy discussion of the health care shortfalls described in "Sicko."
Afterward, Halm said she was a little surprised that Edwards had not seen "Fahrenheit 9/11." She said she supported Edwards but was actually not an unequivocal admirer of the three films and was hoping that Edwards would give a more in-depth critique of the films' strengths and weaknesses.
