...University of Wisconsin to take a job with Bill Clinton's New York campaign in 1992; April (Isla Fisher), a smart, but intellectually and emotionally drifting colleague in the campaign; and Summer (Rachel Weisz), an ambitious journalist who eventually betrays him after he has begun a promising career as a political consultant. It is, I suppose, a premise, of sorts, but as writer-director Adam Brooks's Definitely, Maybe galumphs along, it is not a particularly romantic or comedic one.

He was running for the president of the United States and at that time he was leading George Herbert Walker Bush and Bill Clinton in the polls. He was very combative, very feisty but very engaging.
