But every movie maker have an objective, and they aren't always altruistic. Whatever the objective of this movie, it does humanizes the principals ; John McCain, Sarah Palin and Steve Schmidth. Indeed, the movie at some stage portrayed John McCain as a political animal more interested in winning than his campaign slogan of country first. He gambled with Palin, because he was a risk taker. He took a reckless gamble. But the movie also showed a courageous, under-seige and ambitious Palin.  It even confirmed her side of the story on her religiosity and her human reaction to the pregnancy of her teenage daughter. The movie unabashedly portrayed Palin as a human being, the real human being that she is, and that will win her more sympathy over time. The movie tells the story of a human and national tragedy.

An inaccurate assessment

There is a claim by many on the far right, and an increasing number of moderates and even on the right that "Barack Obama is in over his head when it comes to running the country". Well doh! There is no school for aspiring Presidents! And even if there's one, leadership is an art of character and not the result of some schooling - otherwise, who could argue against hereditary rule!

Rewarding failure

"Politics is the art of the possible ", so said some ancient maxim. I'm not sure I can figure out whose words those really are, but in today's America, those words ring hollow.
