Sarah from Alaska

" Or what strikes me before you to some specific stories that it's it's and this is found them a very negative thing about Sarah Palin just seems to -- that she only has a nodding acquaintance. It seems with the truth. That she purposely does not tell the truth and a number of I mean that -- definitely documents several cases where she takes maybe someone hasn't kernel of truth through it -- stretches and that's something -- issue pathological liar."

" I don't think so I think it's more that. She exaggerates the truth to suit how she wants that reality is seen and I say for example she didn't tell the truth about."

" The issue with how she told her kids -- Howard Hughes found out that she was going to be the vice presidential. Running mate to John McCain that would who's actively lie right and it was on as -- girl her and her shotgun and a she Everett didn't -- me I never had a."

" But. Yeah let's say she she -- nights they -- and her for making very late from Alaska and there in a room with. With some McCain's senior advisors. And it was actually the campaign's charges Steve Schmidt who told all the family that she is going to be McCain's number two."

" Now he Schmidt told her kids her family run by the stories you tell you know she told chart Hannity that."

" Instead it there was a time for meeting and he Novo with a family now that did happen Alan it was only after our."

" I think you saw it after the actor -- told John McCain yes."

" Thank you -- then you know that for a fact you know for a fact that that could that would have had to be the timeline for a threat to maiming people in the room that's amazing and that and the other issue that comes up -- into -- the -- is what -- election -- that you alluded -- moment ago. And the idea that Scott the she was told in no uncertain terms she would be unprecedented. For her to have given the concession speech in which wasn't exactly true actually John Edwards again and one and 20040 -- She was stolen presidency is by by mark Salter writes -- but they'll award it the wording was John McCain has decided this is unprecedented and so our job means solves Terence Smith decided that shouldn't shouldn't give the speech John McCain agreed. -- at each told -- they're not speaking she wasn't taking no for an answer and tell. Maybe the fourth or fifth time that's -- said they're not -- an -- about. Give it she with her staff did know she didn't communicate tourist asymmetric and expect -- she was gonna speak she is sort of it's in just deliberately -- this confusion about whether or not she would speak because McCain campaign. Decision was never really final. Things are so disorganized alzheimer's she is hoping things would continue to be disorganized -- the street. Let's suspect -- find out how how would she chose and I thought the Republican National Convention was like a second date and they barely knew each other. And and I wanna with the vetting was like that brought her to that place in the first."

" Vetting was quite minimal on the the emphasis really was on secrecy which they did call off. But the of the vetting was it was very very normal day she had -- Went -- she got to Phoenix Phoenix she had. A long calmer -- for the campaign where he'd be called a house for several hours are you that she had another conversation of the -- would Mark Salter and Steve Schmidt. And they -- it to several issues her police on evolution whether she would do everything she could to get John McCain elected. Things of that nature and -- and family did not elegant her history her past her husband's affiliations perhaps she also filled out a questionnaire I didn't sense across the -- that they gave to all the potential vice presidential it's."

" It clear that she really was a helmet -- I mean path and they had Hillary Clinton -- she organ on the ticket she wouldn't. You think so. That's my opinion only and that I thought it was cynical moves try to get the female well and and then some lead singer -- well we'll say that they are actually surprised by. How she was. Really able to coalesce the Republican base they didn't expect that she be -- to do that accent they picked her because. A -- kid I'm slip by McCain's maverick credentials and happy because she was a woman. Well certainly the female aspect evident and one of the did women favors the long run a you believe that she's probably and she wants to be president right she think she has the the goods and yeah while setting yourself up you know what I say is that. Usually when when you look at a presidential candidate for years before the race which was the case right after Election Day 2008. And you say to any president for years from now usually they're extremely coy about it she and evidence that -- crashed -- doors -- open to you know warehouse at what point. -- did it become apparent that there was friction between the two campaigns mean McCain -- and and that they were here she was indeed going road in the they couldn't controller."

" Well it was when she felt that she's being mishandled she wanted to come back to back -- and where we were to talk to the process she felt that she could really put her personal touch. And will the press which he was able to do in Alaska and they would not let her go back and that's when she first started. Sorry to realize that you want to par alone and things incentive fees became senior staff."

" And and she make -- decision at some point and listen to my own thing and the hell yeah McCain campaign in my -- he added that -- decide wait a minute you know I'm a candidate here and you know she was a candidate but she was also the the VP candidate and so she should have been doing -- McCain wondered what was -- relationship like it -- it -- their personal -- deteriorate I think you know they they always -- nothing but kind words about -- it's your day. And I think that there was a respect there I think that's clear but at the same time. There was certainly more friction going on them what we -- I mean. For instance when when Palin landed. In Phoenix on Election Day earlier in the book that Johnson and McCain had invaded that Palin's you -- dinner at their home but. Many parents staffers thought that as a really empty gesture because they're basically are eating by the time her plane landed so there's that kind of friction throughout the little things that people in gossip about the turn and that sort of fanatic -- campaign I wonder if now they. Have any kind of relationship threatening in and they have think it's gone their separate ways and they say nice things about each other but they -- Really not -- John McCain really have distaste."

" For serve him I don't think deceased would be the right word meaning you. Publicly you always praises her and says he still speaks with her and and there's nothing to say that's not true but. There is entering this campaign there was this beef tensions that were undeniable."

" You talk also about the getting back to the issue of her not always being. Familiar with the truth or maybe purposes saying things to make yourself look good on the issue -- the stump lines on the trail was the bridge to nowhere in which he says thanks but no thanks which is not exactly turn right. Right while she was actually at an ardent supporter of the bridge to nowhere for a long time -- until became somewhat of a national joke. And then after she was against -- she kept the federal money the thing is we spoke to. One of the campaign -- that was responsible for cultivating that image and and and down sort of talking about Alaska issues and he admitted to us. After the fact in the book that it was it was a very tough Lyons you justifying it became sort of easy to mock in his words."

" They were afraid continually even after the campaign that they that she would embarrass John McCain this -- we have this interesting. The beginning of a quick doctrine that's that. It's the end of that she really wants to give this beach and after she been told no four times she decides to go backup pharmacies but to take pictures with her family. The McCain aides were so onerous that she's gonna go -- there into the speech undermine -- embarrass John McCain that they turn the lights soft armor."

" The kind of became a metaphor but it was actually my girls that they did -- realize that China and surveillance. That's that's a pretty. So harsh statement well it especially considering you know should this is their candidate right supposedly working for the singles."
