Run Granny Run: 7 out of 10.
This is an HBO documentary about Doris "Granny D" Haddock's run for the US Senate. Granny D joined the race late, had a shoestring budget, faced a popular incumbent and was 94 years old.
It's a charming doc that juxtaposes Granny's sincerity and unpolished finish with the smug and swarmy Judd Gregg. Earlier today I heard Hazel McCallion on the radio going off on Stephen Harper's Conservative Party for their selfish attempt to buy our votes while municipalities go without. Hazel and Granny share the same gumption, the same spirit and the same denture cream.
