One of my pet peeves throughout my adult life has been “high level decision makers” and some of the decisions they make.

The most recent being the distribution plan for this film. It is glaringly obvious that Pennsylvania is considered flyover country and unimportant. Maybe they’ve written off The Keystone State since it went for Obummer in ‘08.

But like Chakey Stoltzfus shouted when he saw two locomotives crash into each other: “Nah ain’t that a hun of a vay to run a railroad?!” I agree with Chakey!

John McCain wouldn’t be in charge of this deal by any chance, would he?

Actually McCain is treated in the movie, marginally more gently than he is on this board.

There is an unmistakable subtle message that Palin was right in the process of saving his lame butt of a campaign, until he announced his campaign "suspended".

Which I had actually blocked out of my memory until seeing it again today, it was so unpleasant.

It's a powerfully done bit of political filmmaking. There's no question of bias - though what film isn't. Sort of a reverse of any Michael Moore film. But lots nicer.

Even as someone confessing to having supported her from day one, I found new respect for Palin's job as governor, and new understanding of her decision to stand down from that job when she did. For which the movie provides clear background.

Nobody who posts on FR, will (not) like this film.

One of my pet peeves has been ignorant people who don’t investigate the facts. The plan for this doc was to start with limited release in 10 cities and then go to a wider release after a few weeks of the openings. So the movie will go to other cities in a few weeks.

Believe me, nobody has written off the importance of PA in the election. AMC went for a sampling of perceived conservative areas to start. Please be patient and don’t take offense.
