In 1978, Richard Nixon chose this small mountain jurisdiction for his first public appearance since resigning as president. Priceless footage of his visit to Leslie County introduces this incisive and sometimes hilarious look at the engines that drive American politics. The film explores the machinations of party politics in this rural and staunchly Republican county from hollow to hollow vote-hunting to family squabbles over candidates, patronage promises, speech-making on the courthouse steps and the up-and- down career of the incumbent county judge-executive who sought reelection while under indictment for vote fraud conspiracy.
