Minka Kelly part of CW's 'Body Politic'

March 11, 2009 "Body Politic," from CBS Par, is a look at Washington politics through the eyes of optimistic up-and-coming staffers. Kelly will play Hope, an all-American girl who leaves her life in Michigan after the death of her mother and heads to D.C., where her long-lost dad, Sen. Webster (Tim Matheson), has just been appointed Attorney General, and takes a job on his staff. [...] given the fact that Kelly's character on the show, Lyla, graduated from high school this season and is off to college, she is not going to be a regular next season but will return for a multiepisode arc if "FNL" clinches a fourth-season pickup.
