Game Change Page #4

The clock

is ticking, sir.

If you are going to seriously

consider the governor of Alaska,

you have to call her now.

( Crowd noise )

Woman:
You know, Governor,

these gas prices

- are killing us.

- Oh, my goodness, don't I know it.

They're killing

me and Todd, too.

Hey, how are ya?

But once Alaska

is allowed to very safely

and responsibly

develop our resources,

we'll lower cost of energy

across the entire nation.

You keep giving

'em hell, Governor.

Aw, thanks.

Nice talking to ya.

Mom, can we go on

the roller coaster now?

Yeah.

No, of course, honey.

- Hey, Bristol?

- Yeah?

Can you hold Trig?

I'm gonna take Piper on the roller coaster.

- Sure.

- There you go.

- There you go, buddy.

- ( Cell phone ringing )

- Mom.

- Just one second, hon.

This is Sarah.

Thank you for coming on

such short notice, Governor.

Should this go

according to plan,

we will take you to meet

Senator McCain at his compound

first thing in the morning.

Now, if he chooses you

to be his running mate,

you will instantly become

one of the most famous

people on the planet.

Your life will be

investigated,

manipulated, distorted,

and you will lose

any semblance of privacy.

Knowing this,

are you 100% committed

to going forward

with this project?

Absolutely.

I have a servant's heart.

And if you really think

I can help this ticket,

if you really think

I can help this country,

then absolutely--

I'll do this with ya.

Your private life

will be subjected

to harsh,

often unfair attacks.

Nothing can

prepare you for...

How ugly this can be.

Not--

I do understand that.

Here's the deal.

I went through

a tough primary in Alaska,

and I know how ugly

it can get.

Well, Governor,

things can get

quite a bit rougher

on the national stage.

I don't know,

Alaska's pretty rough.

Steve:
Now, you and

Senator McCain

have a difference of opinion

on several issues.

He is pro-life, but he's

in favor of exceptions

in the case of rape, incest or

a mother's life being at risk.

- You are not.

- That is correct.

I am unapologetically

pro-life.

Senator McCain supports

stem cell research.

- You do not.

- That's true, I do not.

John McCain would never ask you

to contradict your beliefs,

but we expect you

to support his positions.

And we may ask you

to appear in ads

advocating those positions.

Do you have

a problem with that?

No, I don't.

Not at all.

Senator McCain can count

on my full support.

I would be so proud to be

a member of his team.

Do you reject

the theory of evolution?

I'm the daughter

of a science teacher.

My dad showed me

fossils growing up.

I know about evolution.

I accept evolution.

But I will never deny
