Imagining American Politics in 'High Fidelity'

The 'proposal' scene from the end of High Fidelity is one of my favorite movie scenes ever. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jSDoOldNuU) Not only is it just cool as hell and heartwarming, but it also brilliantly portrays the kind of honesty and straightforwardness I would like to see from politicians. This marriage 'proposal' isn't hidden underneath the trappings of romance. It isn't full of obfuscation. It isn't prettied up. It is however real. It is also truly thinking about and seeking a long term commitment. The proposals we receive from politicians aren 't usually like this. They tell us what we want to hear, rather than what they are really thinking. They don't often lay out the positives and negatives in a real way. They are often too eloquent to be real. Seldom is their proposal really rooted in the desire for a long term relationship. Also, few of them are as cool as John Cusack.
