Written and directed by Jon Stewart, this comedy film is about a political strategist's efforts in trying to secure Democrat votes from a Republican town. Gary (Steve Carell) thinks that the key to converting supporters for the Democratic National Committee is backing the mayoral bid of a retired US Marine in a predominantly right-wing town in Wisconsin. But when the Republican National Committee discovers this strategy, they send in their political strategist, Faith (Rose Byrne), who happens to be Gary's long-time nemesis in the political arena. Chris Cooper co-stars.
