He holds a basketball in one hand and a cell phone in the other, looking down a road at the Capitol Building looming large in the distance, he stands between a giant pair of man’s legs in pinstripe slacks.

SMITH GET TO WASHINGTON ANYMORE? follows one of 2004’s most surprising races as a grassroots campaign threatens to shake up the political establishment.
