“Triumph of the Will” was by Leni Reifenstahl. It chronicles the Nazi Party congress at Nuremberg in 1934. It boggles me how anyone can compare this or any other American candidate’s movie to this propaganda piece.

I think that Palin will at least check her negatives after the film airs in the “big four” and see if they have moved down at all … if her negatives move down then I think she’s in.

She might still be in, but I think she knows that her current high negatives would be a problem in the general.

all along? Tack right for 2+ years after the ’08 election to shore up her conservative base and Tea Party creds, then as the ’12 nomination fight (and general election) approach, highlight her independent streak in Alaska and her ability to work with Democrats there to accomplish things.
I suspect this was not deliberate, but if it was and it is successful, she’s much smarter than even I give her credit for.

…appropriate. Both have a strong set of core beliefs that guide their decision-making process. Both are incurably optimistic to the point of seeming disconnected from reality to those who have no ability or desire to be hopeful, both are good looking and smile a lot, both were able to be “bipartisan” but not compromise, and both know how to make the media follow them, not the other way around.

@Tbone – right! You left out her track record for picking/making winners in the last election.

to bet that she, like Reagan, writes most of what she wants to say, instead of letting someone else write a speech that will sound good.

Is it indies? Because a) I highly doubt that most indies would sit through 1-2 hrs of Palin hagiography, and b) depending on the conservative take of the filmmaker, various premises and boogeymen (liberal MSM, culture wars, etc) might seem contrived.

Is it conservatives? Because I doubt that highlighting her bipartisan record in AK would go over well with most conservatives, especially when the accomplishments that resulted were not particularly conservative.

Is it her base of supporters? Because I’d say they’re already plenty whipped up.

I predict that this will be a flop, largely for the same reasons that Atlas Shrugged was one: people want to be entertained when they watch films, and a documentary about a subject that most don’t think deserves serious treatment just ain’t it. Palin would have better luck doing the talk show rounds and talking about her record, IMO.

Both were at HA at the time, but have since been moved forward. I’ve tried to backtrack and find the two I’ve mentioned. I think these are the ones…
