I doubt Moore's movie will have any major impact. Moore, like anyone trying (Left or Right) to make a political point will only tell you the half of the story they want you to hear to make their point. That shouldn't shock anyone on the Right. That should be expected in politics. This is a documentary, stating a politcal point of view, based on (some of) the facts. Are all the facts presented to make a truly informed position.....NO. Its not meant to....its politics.
That said, the film in terms of effecting the election probably will be contained to a) motivating further those already motivated against Bush and b) those who see it that may not really have a strong feeling for or against Bush now.....particularly young folks not all that politically active. That can't help Bush but it will probably be minimal. BUT....every single vote will be crucial in this election.
The toughest part for Bush though, and admittedly i've only seen the previews online/on air.....will be those parts of the film showing Bush as Bush (he can't deny he's said those things) even if taken out of context. That can only raise his negatives.....
