" We're live in Anchorage Alaska and for the past two days Governor Sarah Palin has gone on the record at home and network. Good riddler right now and you can watch C interviewer and you can have a mini blog -- I'm going on right now -- watch and blog with the entire Greta -- community as you watch a red -- dot com. And we continue now with."
" Governor Sarah Pailin. People seem to have such a strong reaction to actually get Gundy of their loved doing they want that you want why I think that is that I -- disagree that that's the the that was the appearance I don't know I I can't answer that I don't know. What it would be. Perhaps. And some big criticism would be you know what it is that it that I represent it certainly I think what I representatives. Out of the box when you consider most conventional candidates for. Higher office national office you would certainly being in a Washington outsider and not part of that. That he lead to group I think that some would want to choose from perhaps just being an outsider and an unknown certainly there was a tremendous amount of curiosity. There and some chose to. I didn't satisfy their curiosity based on facts and someone's record and others chose to satisfy their curiosity based on those. I wouldn't characterize the missiles bloggers and their parents basement. -- talking garbage and -- but that's so obvious choice against and where they want to go to U. Two I write about someone talk about someone that there -- some oddities there. Hello women journalists what demolition thought about them of the ones in the was not the ones who spoke favorably but you but the ones who spoke on favorably I just -- Love to have the opportunity to have sat -- and spoken with him. And that's an odd thing isn't it about candidates that. That you know if it's a free Friday -- your life is an open book and you open yourself up to criticism and you'd better be ready to take that criticism and other ways don't run for office you know if he can't handle it but. The wind when it. You got the big target on your back. Then it it is a free for all and the criticism that is coming your way it is -- again it'd better be. You better be ready for it otherwise. -- you have no right running for office kind of unfortunate but it's reality they ever get understand. Not really again numb that that what would be under my skin or frustrating was just when. When I had facts to counter false allegations and -- like. But nobody would listen to my community you couldn't. He couldn't defend yourself if if they want the media was not willing to correct the mistakes that had been written and printed didn't. -- kind of frustrating but again at the same time. I knew that John McCain and I were on the right road in. The -- that we had to voters saying here's where we believe the nation should go in here the policies that we need we believe need to be adopted in her to win the war and its economy back on the right track protect our constitutional rights all those things. That we were campaigning on and you're on the right road trying new that the shots but that darts in the air is coming our way. That we had to be able to put up with that in and take back in order to progress the -- the plan that we had for Americans at the end of the day. American voters spoke. It's it's the will of the people that it was not our time and our message was not. The message of change that the majority of voters wanted shall be at. Now okay that that chapter is closed now and now will let me let John McCain do all we can. Along with our supporters to help unite the nation and and progress under a new administration."
" Which is seen I've spoken to President Bush and President Bush 41 and they have always said that they could take -- him the hits the arrows the barbs. But that it was harder for them it's harder for President Clinton when Senator Clinton got very insulted or attacked him and for President Bush 41 when his son did. Was it harder and your family -- thank."
" My parents pretty tough you know an and they because again in the local office and state office since 92 you know the kids have grown up with us. They I think there can use to that which sort of unfortunate if you think about it that they -- you know they've they've grown up seeing things Aaron says in written about the mom that you know you may know hasn't always been true. But I think that they know that that's sort of the nature of the beast of politics so. I feel bad when they feel bad and there were a couple of times. Where it yeah especially I felt bad willow. The fourteen year old she had seen and T shirts in our our rally we drove by a group of protesters in Philadelphia and some pretty vulgar T shirts and we'll Simon. And she said mom they don't even knowing how can me. How can -- see something like that about check and it's sure it struck me at that time that can't unfortunate that. That she has to see this and that she would feel perhaps she's in a position of not being able to defend the truth or defend her mom that's a little bit unfortunate but it get the kids. Have grown up with them politics knowing that he has pretty brutal on the local level to some time -- on the state level so. They're they're tough they could handle it they AM and you know there. They're good strong kind hearted kid my husband is also and they know the truth then and again that's most important thing here is they don't have to doubts. Things that their mom stands for and I work towards that they -- with the truth it's."
