As the film progresses, the tone remains predominantly serious (befitting a story set on Death Row), interspersed with lighter scenes of optimism and hope. Edgecomb's urinary problems, painful as they are to watch, provide a small degree of comic relief, but the main source of smiles comes in the form of a mouse named Mr. Jingles.

The evidence: a bold tax plan that puts his money where his "compassionate conservatism" sound bite is, tempering supply-side Reaganomics with aid to the working poor. It includes a $1.3 trillion tax cut over 10 years, with extra relief to poor families. The plan received a conservative blessing Wednesday in the form of a Wall Street Journal op-ed piece, which said "the Bush plan at least moves in the Reagan direction and realizes that taxpayers who built the current boom need incentives to keep it going."
