SARAH PALIN TALKS TO THE
PRESS
[Read
Sarah Palin's Private Concession Speech in Missouri]
September 11,
with Charles Gibson of ABC
"I have the confidence in that readiness and knowing
that you can't blink, you have to be wired in a way of being so
committed to the mission, the mission that we're on, reform of
this country and victory in the war, you can't blink. So I
didn't blink then even when asked to run as his running mate."
September 17, to Sean Hannity
of Fox News
"Well, it was an unfair attack on
the verbiage that Senator McCain chose to use because the
fundamentals, as he was having to explain afterwards, he means
our workforce, he means the ingenuity of the American. And of
course, that is strong and that is the foundation of our
economy."
September 25, to
Katie Couric of CBS
"I'm not one of those who maybe came from a
background of, you know, kids who perhaps graduate college and
their parents give them a passport and give them a backpack and
say go off and travel the world."
September 30, to
Hugh Hewitt
"They're just not used to someone coming
in from the outside saying you know what? It's time that
normal Joe six-pack American is finally represented in the
position of vice presidency. and I think that that's kind of
taken some people off guard, and they're out of sorts, and
they're ticked off about it, but it's motivation for John
McCain and I to work that much harder to make sure that our
ticket is victorious, and we put government back on the side of
the people of Joe six-pack like me."
October 22, with
NBC's Brian Williams
"It is so naive and so dangerous for a
presidential candidate to just proclaim that they would be
willing to sit down with a leader like Ahmadinejad, and just
talk about the problems, the issues that are facing them, that's
some ill-preparedness right there."
October 23, with
Dr. James Dobson
"We have very solid planks in the platform
that will allow us to build an even stronger foundation for our
country. It's all good and it's encouraging. You would maybe
have assumed that we would have gotten further away from those
strong planks. But no, they're there, they're solid, we stand on
them and again I believe that it is the right agenda for the
country at this time."
October 24, with
Chicago Tribune
""It's not all about the money, it's
not all about budgets.. It's about that spirit of acceptance and
embracing that diversity that is in the world with children who
are special, a little bit different from the norm."
October 24, with
Brian Williams of NBC's Nightly News
"I am going to continue to love my country.
I am going to continue to support my son who is over there in
Iraq fighting for the freedoms in this country. I am going to
continue to be, um, such a proponent of all that it is this
country represents. I think it's perfect ideals and values that
we represent."
