We haven’t read Game Change — as a rule, we only buy campaign books by Hunter S. Thompson — but as we recall, it was reviewed as Politico Whacking Material, chock full of breathless unsourced gossip that left you knowing less at the end than when it began.
It’s not like there was anything hidden about the 2008 election: John McCain was a dreadfully dull candidate whose desperation gave us (and quickly relieved Alaska of) Sarah Palin. If you missed it, you can catch the sequel this summer when Mitt Romney chooses Jan Brewer as his running mate.

It appears that almost anyone can play Sarah Palin, due to her bangs-and-glasses look that hides a good portion of the face. I may have to audition for the part next time around.
@matador1015: You may need some enhancements. You know, a flag.
@flypaper: Man, Palin copped Eva Angelina’s style.
@mellbell: Wait, I thought they were like Puerto Rico and D.C. …
