Presumably based on insider information about what really happened during the McCain campaign.

It is must see tv!

In my view, if Palin wasn't already finished as having potential for a national office, she is finished now ...

Hmmmm. HBO makes a hit on Palin.

Hmmmm. HBO has a comic named Bill Maher.

Hmmmm. A comic named Bill Maher donates $1,000,000 to the Obama reelection Super PAC.

Nope. Nothing to see here. Move along but grab another glass of that Kool Aide before you leave.

Game change? Game, set, and match, I hope.

The information for the show comes directly from McCain's chief strategist. Like it or not, and the show is not unsympathetic to her from a purely human point of view, she is disqualified from high national office.

Steve Schmidt who was behind the Palin pick explains why she has not gotten any better, and should NEVER hold a presidential (or vp) office! He also found the show spot on. You really should see it. Especially Palin apologists.

From the screenwriter and director of the film...

"But Strong and Roach insist that while former McCain-Palin campaign manager Steve Schmidt participated in the film, he did not have a major influence on it.

"He wasn't a big part of the filmmaking process. He was one of 25 interviews," Strong said. "The things that he told me also were told to me by literally a dozen other people."

I am not an apologist for Palin. I thought at the time she was not a very likely candidate, but still better than Biden.

One thing I have always wondered about is how the main stream media managed to send all those investigative reporters to Alaska to uncover everything about Palin, both bad and bad, yet were somehow unable to find out anything about Obama's college records at Occidental, Columbia or Harvard. Another thing that worries me is...who did Obama take to his senior prom in High School? Where has she disappeared to?

Just musing at 0325.

Watch the interview with Schmidt! He said the show was spot on. 'Nuff said.

Of course he would claim that. After all he has books to sell.

This out today...

Hollywood's Sarah Palin: ‘Yes, I’m a Liberal Democrat’

By Elizabeth Harrington

March 9, 2012

(CNSNews.com) – On the red carpet Thursday before the preview of the HBO film “Game Change,” actess Julianne Moore, who plays Sarah Palin in the film, said she did not want to talk about politics before declaring herself a "liberal Democrat" who supports President Barack Obama.

CNSNews.com asked Moore: "Are there any public policy issues that you agree with Sarah Palin on?"

Moore said, “You know, I’m leaving politics out of this. And she’s [Palin] not a political figure right now, I mean, I think she’s a--right now--she’s a correspondent for Fox News, so.”

CNSNews.com then asked: “What about President Obama, do you agree with some of his policy positions?”

Moore, laughing, said, “Yes. I’m a Liberal Democrat. So, yes.”

Yup. No bias here at all.

You're joking, right? She's an ACTRESS! BTW, she was brilliant. Again, this show is a must see for all people interested in American politics.

Maybe Palin wasn't ready to be VP. It's mainly ceremonial anyway, First Lady has more influence than the VP. Now, on the other ticket you had someone with even less experience than Palin running for the main job and the press didn't care. We'll never know how Palin would have handled her ribbon-cutting duties as VP but it's plain to everyone that the winner of that election has been in over his head since Day One. Frankly, I would have thought such a deep thinking, brilliant man such as himself would have improved at the job after three years, Instead, the only thing he has improved is his golf handicap.

Funny, Americans disagree with you and are fixing to reelect him:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/new-polls-have-obama-singing-237/2012/02/22/gIQAwE8EUR_video.html

I watched the video clip and do not trust this guy. He says that Palin has made no attempt to understand the issues and that is not true. I don't like her. I do not think that she deserves to hold major public office, but she finally has a reasonable understanding of the issues, although I do not understand why they present her as an expert because she is not, but she does have a reasonable grasp of modern politics - which she did not when she was nominated for VP.

To be the boss one does not have to be an expert in all the various subjects.

One has to be an expert in picking advisors and in balancing their various viewpoints, plus having a good overall understanding of the subject in hand.

Obama fails in this area - or rather his advisors have failed. Too many specialised interests are conflicting in their wants and the general welfare of the general citizenry.

You should watch the entire HBO show. It is classic.

Never underestimate the VP. You might be stuck with him/her as president.

Lyndon Johnson (apart from his over-valuation of his marital equipment) was not one of the worst presidents.... but what if we'd had Spiro Agnew, Dan Quayle, or... who was the last one?

Did Gerald Ford even achieve a golf handicap? 24?

With the 2008 election of Obama, we end up with Joe Biden as Vice President instead of Sarah Palin.

Biden made this claim yesterday......and this guy really IS a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

Joe Biden calls bin Laden raid the most ‘audacious plan’ in 500 years

By Olivier Knox | The Ticket – Mon, Mar 19, 2012

Vice President Joe Biden said Monday that the raid that killed Osama bin Laden was the most "audacious plan" of the past 500 years.

Biden's comments, made at a Democratic fundraiser in Morris Township, NJ, ranked the May 2011 assault that ended the Al-Qaeda chief's life above the D-Day invasion of Normandy in 1944, the surprise landing at Inchon in 1950 that turned the tide of the Korean War or, going back a bit further, George Washington's daring night-time crossing of the Delaware River before the Battle of Trenton in 1776.

He's obviously got a screw or two loose but I've always liked Biden.

the 2008 election was an eye opener for me as i had not paid much attention to USA politics over the previous decade nor was I aware of the ground work that holiywood had done in reframing the minds of the general population towards a person of colour holding high office. I simply looked at the facts; the dems had a mixed race liberal guy from the senate who voted present more than anyone in history and had no business exp. and a known pledgerist, liberal, gaff master, life time politician running as VP. The Reps had an old timer who had run for pres before. leaned more towards a moderate than a conservative with a female running mate that was the Gov. of Alaska, had been a mayor and had owned and run her own successful business. As the campaign took shape I could not help but wonder why there was so much hate towards a VP candidtate that was more qualified than obama to run a country that is rooted in business. The liberal women were not happy because she was not liberal and not Clinton and the liberal media attacked her non stop yet no one ever vetted obama or biden, lets be honest if the midia would have treated obama the same as they did palin it is doubtful that he would have won the election. Palin may not be much but IMO she is still more qualified then many and deserves more repsect than she has gotten.

Obama is brilliant and she is a moron. American voters are stupid, but they are not THAT stupid. The truth won out. The American voters demand some level of basic intellectual qualifications for being anywhere near the presidency.

Respect? She deserves no respect at all. After she lost, she quit her one important job to do what, go in twitter? She had a golden opportunity (if she was capable) of boning up on important policy issues and to make a credible run for the presidency. Instead, she just became even more of a national laughingstock, which she did to herself. Thankfully, she is toast now. The left didn't burn her, she burned herself.

American voters are stupid, but they are not THAT stupid.

The truth won out.

Actually those two statements are at odds with each other.

After 3 years we see the voters WERE that stupid

The truth did not win out but was borne out

Kick me once shame on you...kick me twice shame on me

This next election will show which one holds

PS: as a side note ......you say the left did not burn her....

I could care less & was interested in neither of the candidates mentioned but

I find it telling that years after.... folks like you are still starting topics about her.

3 words for folks like you.....Get Over It

Obama is brilliant and she is a moron.

Obama may be brilliant at something, but it is not being the president. I do not thnk that Palin is a moron, but she is certainly not brilliant and she is not qualified to govern the country. Romney is the best chance that we have at the moment I'm afraid.

Given that nobody is excited about the Romney compromise, I suggest you start thinking about ... 2016.

There is a very good chance that the voters will get "excited" when faced with 4 more years of Obama's failed policies and a 8 percent + employment rate.

HBO is advertising the hit piece to run sometime soon...I forgot the date but watch your telly to find out the exact date and time.

I will probably watch it until they mention the Bush Administration in a derogatory manner and then it's "channel changing" time.

Besides who could possibly miss a movie featuring that noted thespian, Woody Harrelson?

Hmmmm. HBO makes a hit on Palin.

Hmmmm. HBO has a comic named Bill Maher.

Hmmmm. A comic named Bill Maher donates $1,000,000 to the Obama reelection Super PAC.

Nope. Nothing to see here. Move along but grab another glass of that Kool Aide before you leave.

Indeed.

I watched part of one episode when True Visions ran Game Change on HBO couple weeks ago. What a pathetic & sad hit piece it was.

Agreed.

I watched most of it but got really turned off in the beginning when the director had Julianne Moore sounding exactly like Frances McDormand when she played the role of the local Sheriff in "Fargo".

As I said earlier, it was nothing but a cheap shot hit piece.

It's really, really, really incredibly pathetic to hear such predictable pans of this most excellent project simply based on crass political biases.

Now for an OBJECTIVE appraisal:

From HBO's perspective, "Game Change" is a home run: a big, smart, entertaining and extremely promotable showcase for marquee stars, generating tons of attention (flattering and otherwise) from political and media strongholds in D.C. and New York, in addition to the usual suspects. Reuniting the creative team behind "Recount," this adaptation culled from the much-discussed book about the 2008 party primaries and presidential campaign here narrowly focuses on Sarah Palin, and in the broad strokes, it's red meat for the channel's liberal base. Viewed less passionately, though, the former Alaska governor is treated more empathetically than her knee-jerk defenders might admit.
