...pleaded successfully with the court in June to block Republicans from replacing the tarnished DeLay on the ballot, he requested that his name be dropped, leaving the party with no option but to run a write-in candidate. That spot has fallen to Houston city councilwoman and dermatologist Shelley Sekula-Gibbs. And even in a district that President George W, Bush won with 64% of the vote in 2004, most experts on both sides of the aisle say winning with a write-in campaign is a long shot...
...only names voters will see in the District 22 space on the general election ballot will be Democratic front-runner Nick Lampson and Libertarian Bob Smithers. If they want to vote Republican in the race for the new term beginning in January they will have to write in Sekula-Gibbs' name...

Technically, the film is fine. It was Mamet's intention that the direction underscore the writing and acting. This is certainly not the film for grand camera moves or stylish lighting. Mamet and his director of photography, Andrzej Sekula, leave that up to Oliver Stone and Robert Richardson. John's hard-wood paneled office with its musty flavor and dark lighting is treated much like the stage of a play. The actors move and the camera follows. All would have been fine were it not for David Mamet's simplified version of sexual harassment...
