Lobbying is about foresight. About anticipating your opponent's moves and devising counter measures. The winner plots one step ahead of the opposition. And plays her trump card just after they play theirs. It's about making sure you surprise them. And they don't surprise you.

That's actually not a bad guess - are you playing for real now?

But, alas - incorrect.

Belatedly confirming that BSG got the last one right...but of course she, Jim, and everyone who googled it already knew that. Carry on.

Oops sorry - I lost track of the getting confirmation part! Mea culpa!

I don't think I've seen this one, but from the quotes it sounds like something I might like...

You would like it very much, I suspect. It almost made me 'homesick' for D.C.

That's where I watched it - it was so good, I hit play again as soon as the credits finished rolling. Excellent lead performance and a number of very good supporting players, too.

I actually saw it in the movies on the basis of the lead actress (who usually seems to seek out good films (with a few exceptions)) and it surprised me as to how good it was.
