Found this documentary on Google video. It takes an original program called Made for TV, which documents how the election of 1980 was essentially a media-driven and controlled project, and intersperses events from the election of 2008.

Comments on Ron Paul, and how he was shunned by the media; also comments on Hillary and Obama, and the 'resurrection' of the McCain campaign.

It ends with a plea to support restoring the constitution, as well as to support net neutrality (this last thing I don't care for really), but the documentary was worth watching.

thank you good sir! I love election documentaries.

Spin of 1992 and The War Room of 1992 were really good, but I strive for more elections to watch and analyze!

Ozzy, you might enjoy this site. It has a lot of the Campaign commercials going back to 1952. Sure they are not documentaries, but you can learn a lot from them, and many are fun to watch!. Check out the first two commercials under Nixon in '68!! including the famous "First Freedom" ad.
