Speechless (1994)

After meeting each other for the first time in the gift shop of the Las Cruces, New Mexico hotel where they are both staying, insomniac writers Julia Mann and Kevin Vallick fall in love, but because both are speechwriters for rival candidates in a New Mexico Senate election, with Julia working for Democratic candidate Lloyd Wannamaker and Kevin for Republican candidate Ray Garvin, their romance causes great confusion, as they have to decide whether love and politics can mix.

Also complicating matters are, amongst other things, Kevin’s cutthroat ex-wife Annette, who is on the Republican’s campaign trail, and “Mr. Flak Jacket,” television war correspondent Robert “Baghdad Bob” Freed, Julia’s estranged fiance, who wants her back, as she believed he wanted a cheering section more than he wanted a wife.
