Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)
" We live in Anchorage Alaska and earlier today Governor Sarah Palin went on the record from inside the governor's office. And moments ago we heard Governor Palin respond to some of the attacks against her but lots of people love the governor of Alaska. But on the flip."
" Side I've also been some of the rallies where people go absolutely nuts when you see your family -- the -- What what -- you know -- likely come out and everyone's got -- these huge card Syria and Sarah Sarah we what's the quite well to -- part was when somebody would hold a plaque -- we're here for trig. Sorry you know hyper and in 32 men and that makes me feel good because I think that's a recognition that. Assistant and normal family a family that did they have a lot a lot of the binds us together and and we have a lot of fun in spite of some of the circumstances. It. I am so proud of my family so proud of my -- tied for for working as a -- through all of this that made me feel good. Do you know any of the chants of Sarah or I mean anything that that and maybe would look like anything was -- centric as. On my part I know that it it is not me personally that there's this -- for four against four cool without a woman on the ticket we've got. And this manifestation of progress and change in America and both tickets represented that of course. But I'm not me personally it was where those cheers for about it was for the representation of when -- on the ticket. Mom somebody who. Who loves this country so much somebody very very committed to policies that I believe will progress this country in the right direction I think that's what that was all about."
" Clinton to -- you mean have you lowered some. Feminists to the Republican ticket which you might not expecting feminists -- typically been Democrats but feminists I mean some of live that far but the father left. But you lured some of them but if you think about it -- a woman until the very excited for women how. Why do you think they didn't get more women we're working woman you've been successful as a governor why I think some women. Probably were -- your ticket."
" I don't know what I'm going to work harder -- that if anything ever happens in the future in terms of me running for office just to. Kind of put more women at ease I guess with the idea of the year or any other women serving in higher office. I think that is it's really important because I truly believe that we have more in common than we have differences. When we want to make sure that our communities are healthy and safe and that we have health care for. Our children and that our daughters have equal opportunities in the work force awful things that we have in common. And again it's certainly outweighs the differences than perhaps we have so. I would like to see perhaps some of these. Feminist women and and sometimes you know I consider myself -- us. That's feminists what whatever that means in fact I subscribe to feminists for life I'm a pro life. Woman who wants to make sure that you know we we cherish the sanctity of life and and this group feminists for life sort of encapsulates all but I believe in without. With the pro life movement. But. I I would like to see more of these feminist women. Open -- mind -- tuned -- and not be perhaps narrow minded in consideration of a working mom who represents much of what they have -- for all these years also with equal opportunity in. And I would like them to just beat Boldon and brave and and panic if the least explore someone. Like me and I guess like me means. I I am a conservative. In terms of not believing that government is the answer to all of our problems and challenges I believe that. And individuals and her family is and then on the local level or local government I can make better decisions than. And for what we need to what our priorities are than what big government on a federal level can make forest so and that's sense you know they're gonna. Put me in the conservative box then -- but I would sure like to be able to meet more of these women and them find that common ground and similarities and and have the not to be. I'm afraid. Bob and find an outlet perhaps at conservative. Woman represents and believes and you think it's you push the issue that's what I wonder tuition is it that litmus test that. Is the be all end all forward for some women I don't know but my. My position. On abortion this is here again knowing that there is common ground here. With those of us who are pro life and want to see fewer and fewer abortions in this world. And those who supports. Abortion rights they'd still the ones and I have spoken with we're both in my own family that don't agree with -- all my pro life positions that I've taken. The common ground that we have as they too would like to see fewer abortions and and preventative measures to be I'm available and and be. You wouldn't we wouldn't shy away from those things so again the end result would be. Fewer abortions up. That's the be all end all issue there if it is kind of unfortunate because. I think we could and should all be working together to meet the challenges that are families or communities are our nation things."
