Palin's Secret Weapon: New Film to Premiere in June (Campaign prelude?)

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.

"This film is a call to action for a campaign like 1976: Reagan vs. the establishment," Bannon told RealClearPolitics.

AWESOME am SO excited to see this film

[a fool in paradise]

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.

This is so not an issue.

How many terms did Obama serve in the US Senate? How many days into his SINGLE term did he wait before announcing his candidacy for the Oval Office?

Don't let the Left dictate the questions and scandals of the campaign or debates.

Make all candidates answer the SAME questions, hit Obama on these same subjects.

Thanks for the ping, I am dying for Sarah to get in this race and get rid of the stupid RINOS!!!

I don't care what the media says about her negatives. If I'm still paying $5.00 gas and unemployment is still above 9% he is gone.

We've had the worst tornado in HISTORY and Bozo says, "I'll be there Sunday!"

Thanks, Mr. President, I'm glad you can enjoy your time overseas while OUR people are suffering here in the heartland.

wow... (nothing follows)

[SevenMinusOne]

God, I want to like Palin. But the more I learn, like this, is of someone who is constantly self-absorbed...much like Obama (only with better politics). No thank you. I've served under leadership with such qualities. Never good when the sh*t hits the fan. Very rarely ever good under pressure.

pardon the expression and it likely will come off wrong on this forum. But this movie. One word, Gay (for those DR will get what I'm saying).

She's Running!

I love that post. Everytime.

"We're flat broke, but he thinks these solar shingles and really fast trains will magically save us.
So now he’s shouting all aboard the bullet train to bankruptcy. The 2012 election begins here.
We will fight for America and it starts here in Madison, Wisconsin.
Mr. President, game on!”

Put some Kotex on that, OK?

[presently no screen name]

The media has been absorbed with her - can’t you even get that straight!

[Bigtigermike]

This film is a call to action for a campaign like 1976: Reagan vs. the establishment,” What’s wrong with rallying the troops? what’s wrong with taken the fight not only to Obama but against the RINO’s? sheesh!!

[bwc2221]

I have never seen you do anything but knock Sarah Palin. At least tell the truth.

This women wants a movie (a movie!) made about a ‘tough’ decision she had to make. And wants it to help try and convince people she made the right one? She can’t do this herself, on her own. She wants a movie to support her. Again, self-absored, weak, much like Obama (only her politics are better).

[PapaNew]

Better yet is to copy Reagan and stay on point and don’t let up on your attacks on big government and the liberals and the honor and privilege of being a freedom-loving American. Keep shining the light on the liberals - watch them skitter away into their dark corners like cockroaches. Reagan kept at it until people were actually ashamed to be called “liberal” and Americans were proud to be called Americans

[SevenMinusOne]

It’s you that needs to be truthful. You can search my name and there are plenty of times I’ve come to her defense/or supported her ideas on this or that. Plenty of times I’ve supported her and loved the way she takes it to the media and have said so.
