2 million viewers..."Game Change" was HBO's "most watched movie premiere in 8 years."

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Just announced on MSNBC. So much for Palin's comments about how the movie didn't really matter.

1. meh

Nearly 60 million voters ... "McCain/Palin". So much for claim that McCain mattered.

7. Two million on opening night

I wonder how long until over a hundred million views? Maybe a couple of weeks... you make me laugh

[MadHound]

2. Am I the only one who simply didn't give a damn?

Yes, Palin essentially torpedoed McCain's shot, but I feel no need to dissect the campaign. That was four years ago, and it was dissected to death then. No need to now.

3. Well, hopefully

the movie will keep Palin in the woods of Alaska instead of down here trying to run for another office or raise money.

4. It doesn't take a movie to keep Palin from trying for another office

She had her shot in '08 and blew it. She is toxic waste, at least politically speaking. The 'Pugs aren't going to fill her campaign war chest, ever. She even recognizes it, which is why she didn't run for anything in '10 or this year. Sure, she's still playing to her diminishing pool of fans, and she can probably manage to keep her Fox news gig for at least another couple of years. But her political career is over.

5. Uh, it was an entertaining movie.

My wife, who has no interest in politics, stayed up to watch after seeing only the first 15 minutes.

6. I bet 1.5 million were Sarah fans who tuned in thinking

the movie would show how brilliant she is.
