Don't Call It a Comeback

" get it was a seminal defining moment where you that interview I did not -- and neither did the campaign in fact. That is why segment two and three and four maybe five rescheduled the campaign. Said right good you're showing your independence this is what America needs to see and it was a good interview -- of course I -- and -- hit with a good interview I don't know what a bad interview last."

" it wasn't a good interview. Well in that it was a time when Oprah Winfrey did not want to interventional in the evening and VP candidate Sarah Palin but that was so van and this is now and then -- Palin and -- either man to begin on Monday talking about the now infamous interview in that particular sound -- with -- correct. And also as you talked quite a bit about conflicts with the McCain campaign back in 2008. The sit down. Could it possibly play a role in her political future. And re emergence that she seems to have planned and coinciding with the release of her book. Months after she made a controversial decision to step down. As Alaska's governor the book is called going -- and it doesn't even hit shelves until next week. But. At its -- sold one point five million additional copies and is have been topping bestseller lists on Amazon. For a couple of weeks now so the book is published by harpercollins which is owned by the parent company of fox so what do the numbers say right now for Sarah Palin. Point look at some of the evidence of what people are saying out there right now according to -- USA today Gallup poll. 63%. Say they would not vote for her in 32. But the ever important independents. Are also very worth watching all this this is among independents the opinion of Sarah Palin. 41% favorable 48%. Unfavorable now in The Wall Street Journal today -- who has written a new book about Sarah Palin the persecution of Sarah -- called. He says quote what those percentages among independents the 4840 why -- And they could soon be serving -- moose burgers in the White House we'll see about that Bill Kristol the editor. Of the weekly standard of course in a Fox News contributor. They'll welcome good to have you here. Who aren't that high energy so we are talking -- have him on again she's got a book coming out. She sat down with -- Oprah Winfrey and you know generally people who do that wanted to be -- mutually beneficial experiences Sarah Palin clearly wants to appeal. I had to Oprah's audience which is -- huge audience how. I think she's doing anything she's talking about the right things."

" We'll see if you definitely it is but you know if you want to put the views of a lot of -- independents -- the kind of people might watch Oprah. I thought the little clip you showed that disarming you -- politicians and that they had a very bad interview on the national stage. And it by admitting that she gives herself a chance to move on the -- he has. Negatives but -- a chance now the next -- to -- with the book and with all the publicity around the -- to reintroduce yourself to some degree to the American public. -- 3540% -- never going to be whether they're Liberal Democrats are culturally that they just can't stand her if she does have a chance to win over and win back. Some of those swing voters and some of -- independents."

" That you don't go after that things that are gonna get the most attention at least initial stages in this book. Are that looking back -- see another talking about what went -- in the campaign. The argument that she had with the McCain camp there's also you know quote in -- that has come out. That she's upset that she had to spend 50000 dollars IA as part of legal fees for the clearance process she didn't know that money is gonna come out of her pocket -- kind of stuff that that you know. That should be sort of in the headlines right now."

" You have to do that first part I mean you can you do TV you know -- you have to and the previous story that you can't just leave that -- addressed. And say here I am I wanted to -- energy policy a lot of talk about. The president Obama's decision to close gitmo I want to talk about the war in Afghanistan I think he needs to. She's the initial headlines will always going to be about the past. About the McCain campaign she dresses that apparently forthrightly. Additional have a lot of sympathy for what she was put through whether her handlers there the -- McCain says that from the McCain campaign. And then she does that you're right that you have to pivot. -- to say okay let's talk about the issues that part of the country here's what -- an energy here's what I don't Afghanistan. I think she's pretty shrewd I think -- do that but let's say you know what strikes -- the -- that there are awful lot of people out there. The water and don't want the American people have a chance to watch her make up their by their awful lot of liberals -- awful lot of -- types who ought to sort of preclude the possibility that Palin could even make it. Right now if you make if you make it you know we don't need a bunch of you look at how they were a bunch -- self appointed sort of guides the American public. To tell them what to think. They the American public will get a good look at their talent over the next wanted to and I think we'll know then whether she's succeeded in turning the corner."

" Hi Bill Kristol thank you very much let's turn our attention now to our other panelists today will make it into some of those categories that -- Now let's find out Susan -- Is evident today she's the former campaign manager to Mike dukakis' presidential campaign back in 1988. And he's at Fox News contributor so he'll make the interview first of all really slowing seen so -- the whole thing -- Monday."

" about a meat that have great respect -- Bill Kristol and I'm happy to be one of his liberal relief it's here. I think -- buying for the American people I don't to preclude anybody from watching Sarah Palin. At the Democrat have delighted by her for -- merchant. Because they -- don't think that ultimately."

" You know jumping on the McCain campaign and dumping on her handlers to -- you point out it is the lead here and complaining about the many."

" I don't think that's gonna help -- and frankly when she does hit it I think he's going to hit it hard right. And you know that will appeal to the big if but I don't think it will appeal to independents and it's probably good news Democrat."

" It you know it that that is what in the -- every politician has to win over the independents she's already won over. Large group of Republicans you -- have -- favorable ratings for her. But insists that would evidence independent that's one thing -- wanted to ask you baton and how you could do advising her -- and they probably won't save it if you weren't what would you targeted to reach out to independent."

" I would tell -- it's nothing to do this you think I would candidate tone it down and look classic. All right I need high but I don't think he's gonna tone it down because you cover are ready in net New York 23 district. Which -- the bulk of the cited the conservative. And then Tim Pawlenty who you know -- like McCain for years ago. He jumped over to the conservatives I didn't you know an outlook but we of the democratic congressman. Philly I think the problem she's gonna save it that we kept half the McCain step which is not feeling it never appealing about -- back here -- pellet. Don't doubt. On the McCain campaign you know I had decapitation Gerry Ferraro twenty years ago I think look. -- had a lot of crashes but it always work to be practicing and those people who feel inside the Republican Party you don't need to take them on but even -- that. He's gonna go hard right I think and the -- if she goes hard right. People will remember hey wait -- you know I don't like this polarizing stuff and that's what hurt him on independent."

" CNN -- got a hard rap but that the question -- basically -- now -- she's got a political future. Oh he definitely has the political future but -- don't think they were gonna be moved brigades in the white. All right so many so -- what -- played at my house isn't thank you very much good to see it. But."
