| Synopsis: Hundreds of state fairs
to visit, thousands of babies to kiss, millions of hands to shake... What
does it takes to become President of the United States of America? Alexandra Pelosi's Diary of a Political Tourist, chronicling her two-year road trip on the Democratic campaign trail -- from the candidates' announcements, through the early primaries, to Super Tuesday and the convention -- follows presidential wannabes as they make their run for the White House. Following the 2002 HBO documentary "Journeys with George," Pelosi's irreverent account of George W. Bush on the campaign trail, she set out on the road again with a handful of distinguished men competing to see who could eat the most pies, raise the most money and get the most votes to become the Democratic Party nominee. An action-packed adventure criss-crossing America, her video diary reveals the fun, the exhaustion, the pain, the shame, the tears, the absurdity, the hard work and the ego that go into challenging the leader of the free world. Featured in the special are General Wesley Clark, Governor Howard Dean, Senator John Edwards, Congressman Dick Gephardt, Senator Bob Graham, Senator John Kerry and Senator Joe Lieberman, with cameo appearances by President George W. Bush. Production Credits: Diary of a Political Tourist is written, directed and produced by Alexandra Pelosi; edited by Juliet Weber and Geof Bartz. Supervising producer, Lisa Heller; Executive Producer, Sheila Nevins. Airdates: Premiered on HOBo on Monday, October 11th, 2004 at 8pm ET/PT. |
