HBO's "Game Change"

Interesting.....the actual title of the book is

Game Change
Obama and the Clintons
McCain and Palin
and the Race of a Lifetime

So it seems HBO took the part of the book about McCain and Palin and made it a movie. The book may be non-fiction, however the point of movies is entertainment and I look at this movie as entertainment with some truth/accuracy.

Schmitt said it was accurate so I take it with a grain of salt. The dodged bullet is Palin could have been a 72 yr old heartbeat (McCain) away from being President. May all the political hacks and king makers remember to always properly vet a candidate before picking them to be VP or anything for that matter. Two questions about domestic or foreign policy would have eliminated her. Once they knew, they could have done the right thing and removed her and found a suitable VP candidate. It speaks volumes to the staffer's (Schmitt, et al) integrity....well lack of integrity. Winning is not more important than anything else.

I might feel sorry for her....she was clearly out of her league........if she was not such a mean, hateful, spiteful human being.

edited to ad.......she is pretty much fading into the background now....even fox is not so enamored with her anymore...

That was a really awesome movie, I have to say. It left me regaining a small shred of the respect I used to have for John McCain. He should have just stuck with Lieberman. I think he would have lost no matter who he chose.
