US Presidential Elections: Game Change shows that Sarah Palin changed the Republican Party

 The HBO movie “Game Change” was surprising on many levels:

• It was faithful to the book by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin.
• Julianne Moore was outstanding as Sarah Palin, giving a respectful performance without an ounce of parody.
• Woody Harrelson as Steve Schmidt, the master mind behind John McCain’s campaign, like Ms. Moore deserves an Emmy.
• Sarah Palin comes across as a sympathetic character, someone plucked out of relative obscurity and thrust into the national spotlight without a real support system.

Yes, Governor Palin is extremely confident and of her abilities, bordering often on arrogance, but she sincerely believed her selection as McCain’s running mate was “God’s plan,” as she puts it. Plus McCain's team acted like she was a Godsend, delivered to them to save the floundering and foundering McCain campaign.
