...heart, the story is fundamentally one of displacement. Caden is haunted by the ghosts of his wife and child—the people for whom he has become something of a ghost as well—and his search for them comprises the funniest, most adventurous and heart-rending portion of the film. The dialogue between performance and real life is so dense and cyclical that Tom Noonan (who plays Caden in the play and follows him throughout most of the film) goes so far as to lead Caden to his wife’s new apartment in New York...
...everyone in Congress, or in Washington, particularly likes Emanuel, 49, the former senior Clinton White House official who just won his fourth term in Congress representing a portion of Chicago and who serves as the fourth-ranking Democrat in the House. Even some members of his own party (including members of the black and Latino caucuses) bear no affection for him, especially those who feel he has run roughshod over their prerogatives in pursuit of some greater goal - like wresting control of the House from the Republicans in 2006, a project Emanuel spearheaded.

...then there are the machines. Allegheny County was the only county in the country to verify the software on a portion of its ES&S-brand iVotronic voting machines prior to this election. However, the county employed a testing firm that was suspended the next week by the federal government. Will local voting watchdogs find the malfunctions, inaccuracies or even tampering they fear in those paperless machines? And will a state Supreme Court ruling, forcing all polling places to have emergency paper ballots on hand if there are breakdowns in 50% or more of machines, help or hinder the process...
