At the premiere of "Recount" at MoMA Tuesday night, the president of HBO Films, Colin Callender, noted the auspicious timing of a film about the election process, in an election year. "As good the HBO press department is, it could not have created the political environment we have now," Mr. Calldender said. "But they did bring in five voting boths, so you'll have your chance to see hanging chad and dimpled chad, in the HBO presidential elections."
In the lobby of the Four Seasons, HBO had indeed set up five voting booths. The HBO people passed out chad to guests to use in the voting machines. HBO even tallied the results -- um, no surprises there: Obama had a wide lead over Senator Clinton, with McCain receiving less than 10% of the votes.
