Well, it really ought to be a musical:
Here's the gist:
Dora, aka the Campaign Slut, is a mid-fifyish woman of ecclectic stycle and brilliant insights.
Lila is her sidekick. one of them must channel Elsbeth Tascioni as played by Carrie Preston on The Good Wife.
There are other characters, geeks, hipsters, brainiacs and ever-sniffing journalists.
They win campaigns for the most unlikely characters. All on the side of right. No left. That is the good side.
The first episode is all about Reverend Ronnie and the No Fracking No Way Church of the Earth, who has decide to launch a run for office. She has been born again multiple times, which makes her imperious to all insults. She must be a woman of generous proportions, with a booming voice. She has a dedicated choir of followers who hum, chant and sing aloud as the circumstances dictate. They also dance. (See what I mean about a musical?)
Her opponent is Pastor Paul, a rasty right wing lapdog for the oil companies, masquerading as the charismatic leader of a mega-church.
Dora's job is to reign Ronnie in enough to get her elected, while exposing the real power behind the Pastor Paul and his Church, while avoiding the gossip mongers and tabloid journalists who dog her trail.
So if you are of the acting (singing dancing?) persuasion, let me know and we can rock and roll for a pilot.
