Family secrets emerge over dinner in new clip from 'The Campaign'


You want to know what the most important job in any political campaign is? It's the guy who does all the vetting. Y'know, the one who digs into the past tries to unearth any potentially damaging secrets before the press finds out about them first. Those guys get paid the big bucks and could be the difference between winning and losing. Want to know what happens when a candidate isn't properly vetted? You get Sarah Palin. In the latest red band clip from the political comedy, The Campaign, Marty Huggins(Zach Galifianakis) and Cam Brady(Will Ferrell) attempt to do some family vetting of their own over the dinner table. They may not like the answers they get.

We've seen bits of these scenes in the various trailers, but this clip shows the levels of depravity running rampant in the Huggins clan.  Ferrell and Galifianakis play two rival Congressional candidates jockeying for votes in a small North Carolina district. Jay Roach is directing, with Jason Sudeikis, Dan Akroyd, Dylan McDermott, Brian Cox, and John Lithgow co-starring. The Campaign hits theaters on August 10th....[IGN]
