The dramatic re-creations are somewhat uneven: The convention staging is quite convincing, the campaign trail less so.

Game Change, which explores how smart people make dumb decisions, is a movie for all of us.

Sarah Palin: | I want to do what I want to do. |
Steve Schmidt: | No news story lasts more than 48 hours anymore. News is no longer remembered--it's just meant to be entertainment. |
Steve Schmidt: | This guy's raising money like he's his own ATM machine. |
Steve Schmidt: | There are unknowns with Palin, and ah, certainly it could go bad. But if it were me, I'd rather lose by ten points going for the win than lose by one point and look back and say "Goddamn, we should have gone for the win". |
