WMAQ NBC 5 Chicago, Ill. ^ | 2009-04-14 | Caitlin Millat

The presidential election is coming to the small screen.

HBO will make a film based on the landmark 2008 election, featuring larger-than-life political characters like Sarah Palin, John McCain and President Barack Obama, the network announced this week.

The film will be based on the book "Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime," by Time magazine editor-at-large Mark Halperin and New York magazine political correspondent John Heilemann.

I'm sure this will be a straight forward liberal storytelling that will contain no biases. Fair and balanced. /sarc

A movie?

Well the ENTIRE plot should turn on how the moderate Democrat, John McCain ended up at the top of the Republican Party ticket.

The rest is just background music and visuals....

I’d like to see a movie written by “Anonymous” called “Primarily Colored”, or “Wag the Wagyu”, a docu-novel-drama about the 2008 Presidential run. Who will play Larry Sinclair?

Screenwriter Leavitt contributed $4,600 (the max) in 2008 to the Obama campaign.

Why not cut out the middleman and let the Obama White House write the screenplay?

Such a film, if ever made, would make “MILK” seem like a blockbuster.
