The spin doctor is the protagonist.
This is a logline for a movie that actually got made.? Getting re-elected POTUS isn't high enough stakes?? The current occupant of? the White House and his opponents think otherwise.

Interesting.? So who is the primary protagonist...the spin-doctor or the producer? Staging a phony war seems like a HUGE effort to distract people from sex scandal.? Would a war have distracted us from the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal?? What are the stakes of being unsuccessful...not getting re-elected?? I'd like to see the stakes be higher somehow.
