A very good movie

Since I had heard some interesting things about this movie, I was quite eager to check it out. First of all, even though I had heard about Sarah Palin, I couldn’t really remember what happened with her 10 years ago so it was pretty neat to discover what exactly went down at the time.  Eventually, the whole thing turned out to be a fascinating look on a political campaign but also on how populism can seem so misguided and yet so popular at the same time. Indeed, even though, at first, it seemed that the bet done by Republicans paid off as Palin became hugely popular overnight, it became pretty obvious as well that she was not only pretty much ignorant but also seriously inadequate to run in the highest office. And, yet, even though she might have seemed like a terrible choice, especially after watching this movie, I still think that this gamble made sense.  Indeed, back then, Barack Obama was running such an impressive campaign, as a result, the Republicans had to make such a bold choice and, at the time, a safer candidate would have never worked. At least, Palin, with her appeal, allowed the Republicans to compete almost at the same level with Obama. Anyway, to conclude, it was probably one of the best movies I have seen dealing with politics and I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in this subject.
