Palin's Secret Weapon: New Film to Premiere in June
Real Clear Politics ^ | 5/24/11 | Scott Conroy

Posted on 05/24/2011 9:01:25 PM PDT by OneVike



Shortly after Republicans swept last November to a historic victory in which Sarah Palin was credited with playing a central role, the former Alaska governor pulled aside her close aide, Rebecca Mansour, to discuss a hush-hush assignment: Reach out to conservative filmmaker Stephen K. Bannon with a request. Ask him if he would make a series of videos extolling Palin's governorship and laying to rest lingering questions about her controversial decision to resign from office with a year-and-a-half left in her first term. It was this abdication, Palin knew, that had made her damaged goods in the eyes of some Republicans who once were eager to get behind her potential 2012 presidential campaign.

The response was more positive than Palin could have hoped for. He'd make a feature-length movie, Bannon told Mansour, and he insisted upon taking complete control and financing it himself -- to the tune of $1 million.

The fruits of that initial conversation are now complete. The result is a two-hour-long, sweeping epic, a rough cut of which Bannon screened privately for Sarah and Todd Palin last Wednesday in Arizona, where Alaska's most famous couple has been rumored to have purchased a new home. When it premieres in Iowa next month, the film is poised to serve as a galvanizing prelude to Palin's prospective presidential campaign -- an unconventional reintroduction to the nation that she and her political team have spent months eagerly anticipating, even as Beltway Republicans have largely concluded that she won't run.

Bannon, a former naval officer and ex-Goldman Sachs banker, sees his documentary as the first step in Palin's effort to rebuild her image in the eyes of voters who may have soured on her, yet might reconsider if old caricatures begin to fade.

Been looking at the others in the Republican juggernaut
and here’s what I think.

If Sarah is in, So am I.

I wonder how it will break apart? If it can be set up in 3 to 5 minute segments dealing with specific issues, it could be like having a set of video white papers on youtube.

I really like Sarah, but I'm sorry, Sarah is not credited with playing a central role in the Republican sweep.

She was a key player in getting some true conservatives elected, but there wasn't any one "key" player. To the degree Sarah was "credited" with anything, it was by the media blaming her for the tea party candidates she endorsed that ended up losing. Which was unfair to her of course.

I understand that it will initially be two version of a full movie. One PG rated, and one for adults with some fouls language that shows the leftists going nuts.

Sarah Louise Palin

Born February 11, 1964 in Sandpoint, ID (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)

Parents were
Charles R Heath, born in ID
Sarah Sheeran, born in WI

Both parents were US Citizens at the time of her birth (Meets the Jus Sanguinis Requirement)

Sarah Palin is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama.

As I said on another thread, if it’s played all at one it won’t be only Joe Biden that will fall asleep. Breaking it into segments might help it be digested by the great unwashed.

She’s the greatest threat to liberalism since Reagan. Enough said.
