AUSTIN – Filmmaker David Modigliani is used to heartbreak. After all, he's a Red Sox fan.

Plus, he voted for Al Gore and John Kerry.

So the perennial letdown of many losses – mixed with an occasional victory – has given Mr. Modigliani, director and producer of the acclaimed Crawford documentary, sage wisdom for the crestfallen masses whose candidate falls in defeat today.

Move on. "Look forward to football season," advises the Austin filmmaker, whose first movie was a high-school project profiling Red Sox fans, called A Penchant for Pain.

This has been a historic election – not only in which candidates survived but also in the passion generated by their supporters and how fervently they want, more than anything else, for their team to win.
