Gov. Sarah Palin cast her vote in Wasilla, Alaska and spoke to reporters about her future.(AP PHOTO)
WASILLA, Alaska (CNN) - Sarah Palin appeared calm and confident Tuesday morning during her brief sojourn to Wasilla, Alaska, where she greeted hometown supporters and cast her ballot before departing for Phoenix to join John McCain for an election night rally.
The governor voted shortly after 7 a.m. at her former workplace, Wasilla City Hall. According to the National Weather Service, the temperature at the time was 18 degrees.
Wearing jeans and accompanied by her husband Todd, Palin told reporters who had gathered to watch her vote that she is “very optimistic.”
“Now tomorrow, I hope, I pray, I believe that I'll be able to wake up as Vice President elect, and be able to get to work in a transition mode with the President elect, John McCain,” she said.
Palin refused to say if she had voted to re-elect Republican Sen. Ted Stevens, who was convicted last week of seven felony corruption charges.
“I am also exercising my right to privacy, and I don't have to tell anybody who I vote for, nobody does, and that’s really cool about America also,” she said.
Savoring her final solo appearance as a vice presidential candidate, Palin lingered for several minutes in front of local and national media, taking question after question despite multiple attempts by her staff to end the press conference.
The campaign entourage made two coffee runs while in Wasilla, stopping first in Kaladi Coffee, where the governor ordered two lattes and five regular coffees for her secret service agents.
Before leaving the shop, Palin noticed Tuesday’s edition of the Anchorage Daily News, which led with the news that Alaska’s Personnel Board had cleared the governor of any wrongdoing in the firing of the state’s public safety commissioner. “Board exonerates Palin,” blared the paper’s front page.
Palin showed it to an aide and called it a “nice headline.”
An hour later, she made another pit stop for caffeine, this time visiting Mocha Moose, one of the town’s many free-standing coffee huts. The store’s owners had hung a red banner reading “Palin Fever” by the drive-thru window.
As she waited for her beverages, a local reporter asked the governor how she envisions her role in national politics if McCain loses the election. Palin did not hesitate to muse about a future that might not include being vice president come January.
“You know, if there is a role in national politics it won’t be so much partisan,” she said. “My efforts have always been here in the state of Alaska to get everybody to unite and work together and progress this state.”
“It would certainly be a uniter type of role,” she added.
Asked if she had any regrets about the campaign, Palin bemoaned “the state of journalism today.”
“The blogosphere, the two, three hour news cycles, where just too much is reported based on gossip and innuendo and things taken out of context,” she explained, adding that she’d like to help improve the profession because she has “great respect for the world of journalism.”

NOT! YOU WILL BE BACK IN ALASKA, I HOPE AND PRAY.
PALIN SHOULD GO BACK TO ALASKA AND NEVER LEAVE !!!!
LETS JUST ALL PRAY THAT THIS WAS HER SWAN SONG. SHE DID MORE HARM TO MCCAIN THAN SHE DID GOOD SO I AM SURE THE REPUBS WILL RETHINK ASKING HER FOR ANY OFFICE.
Sarah the DREAMER
In a couple of months she will be sworn in as Senator Palin
I pray to God that her future includes her going back to Alaska and continuing to be a lying, cheating, power abusing person who doesn't care about anyone but herself. Hey Sarah, we are still waiting on your medical report!! Get out and Barack the Vote America!!!
Obama/Biden '08
Its great to see that people with special needs are able to set their goals as high as they as they want despite furrowing their brows in a vain attempt to understand where they are, that is why America is the greatest country in the world
PLEASE.
PLEASE.
PLEASE STAY IN ALASKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why does she use "progress" as a verb??!! Ugh ...
Hopefully this traitor is incarcerated for the rest of her natural born life. If she can't share her medical records, then we know for certain she has some very dark secrets hidden in her closet. We already know she is an anti-american secessionist supporting nut job. We already know she is guity of abusing her power. So knowing what we know, how bad must the secret be that her medical records are hiding.
If there is nothing to hide, then why hide? She's filth, white trash, human garbage. She belongs in prison or deported to a foreign country!
I hope by tomorrow we never have to see or hear this evil witch ever again.
Sarah Palin may have a future in big-time politics, but just not now.
I'm a Registered Republican ... who voted for Obama/Biden this morning!
Let's all hope that Palin's star will have faded sufficiently by 2012 that her name never comes up again. Like Cabbage Patch dolls and Beany Babies, let her go from FAD to FADE.
Another cool thing about America is that we learn from our mistakes. Hopefully idiots like Palin will have no place in our politics.
Gee, does that mean she voted for Stevens?
OMG
I have to say I am in full agreement with Frank.
Frank Fatcherman
I think after you reach a certain age the old should be collected and have their bodies rendered down into usable chemicals for use in industry and agriculture.
Obama Rocks
I believe in future she will find herself rotting in hell.
Sarah the VP dreamer. What do you know about uniting people you witch after all you did with your screeching lies? I will tell you where your future is.. In hot hell hell sitting on a cold toilet sit.
Her future isn't in mine that's for sure! She can hide herself in Alaska and never heard from again as far as I'm concerned.... She's a disgrace to intelligent women in this country!
I can't wait for her face to disappear! We're just hours away from that... Thank God!
What future? She is a quick study but she should not have her mind set on becoming President of the United States. It's not fair what McCain did to the Republican party by selecting her. There should be a committee or a board to override such choices. And they claim Obama is not qualified...helllooooo?
I,personally, am so beyond glad,that after tonight I will NOT have to hear her voice nor her words. Sorry Alaska..you are stuck with her.
If Palin's a "uniter," I'm the Queen of England.
she's spewed so much hate and venom since being nominated that 2/3 of the American public can't stand her. Her only fans are the radical right-wingers of the GOP base.
I sincerely hope she's the next Republican presidential nominee, that will guarantee another Democratic White House.
The only person who world leaders would respect even less than McCain is Palin.
She won't even tell you if she voted for a convicted felon or not. This boggles my mind.
What future for Failin? She needs to take care of her family FIRST!
Just stay where you are,Sarah......And take care of your pitbull with lipstick! There is no future for her after this shameless disaster!
Obama/Biden 08/12
I agree that the right to privacy is "really cool." But doesn't Sarah Palin realize that the Constitutional right to privacy was only established in a Supreme Court decision? The decision was Roe v. Wade, and Sarah Palin says it should be overturned. If she gets her way, there's no recognized "right to privacy" anywhere in U.S. Constitutional law.
Well folks, I couldn't vote for McCain as I don't agree with him. I don't trust Obama. It's been 12 years since I've been able to vote FOR a candidate instead of AGAINST.
So, I wrote Hillary in. Not that I think she'll win but the two parties have way too much control by telling the people who they have to support.
Interesting thoughts. She just as well stay in Alaska as there will be no victory party for the elephant party this evening or years to come. McCain made a poor choice here and it cost him dearly.
Palin is the reason McCain lost this election. McCain's choice of Palin is the reason he lost this election. No doubt.
That this is the last we'll ever see of her.
Look, woman, if you can't deal with people reporting the facts, don't cry about it being innuendo and taken out of context.
The only people who constantly whine about reporters taking thing out of context are celebrities and athletes who get caught saying something they shouldn't. We don't believe them when they say it, we aren't believing you when you say it.
You got 15 minutes of fame you didn't deserve, accept it and go home.
Awwww. She should just stay there...Nobody cares who she voted for (Obama) and no one will care if she stays in Alaska.
I also have a prayer that Sarah Palin will go back to her igloo tomorrow never to be heard from again!
What a dumb cow
I am sure Palin secretly voted for Obama..She has been winking at him the last few weeks..Way to go Palin. Maybe SNL can give you Tina Fey's job since she's moving on to bigger and better things.
I couldn't agree more with Pat C. If that is not the case, we need to pray for God's mercy and grace for the next 4 years because we are going to need it....
Interesting that she's suddenly in the business of uniting people... she's done nothing but the opposite for the duration of the McCain campaign. Thanks, Sarah! Obama08!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy it while you can. Your political life is nearly at it's end. The good people of Alaska won't want you back after hearing you spout hate and division.
The Republican party is going to be taken back by centrists who can't stand you.
Yep, linger a little Sarah, before you're done.
Good riddance
Found guilty by a bipartisan investigative committee, then found not guilty by governor appointed personnel board, hmmm I wonder which one has more of a stake in making sure the person who hired them stays in office?
The last thing Palin could succeed in is uniting people. She has become a lightning rod of division thanks to her sarcastic and caustic attacks on anyone failing to agree with her.
Lets not but say we did.......
Both my husband and I had expected we'd vote for John McCain. That expectation was shaken when he picked Sarah Palin as a running mate. It was destroyed when he ran a dishonest and dishonorable campaign. Sarah Palin has no qualifications for office. She is, purely and simply, an entertainer. She will be very successful on television or radio. That is where she belongs.
She voted for Stevens corruption does not exsit in her mind anyway Stevens helped her politically as well as helped her house be built for free ONE CORUPT KNOWS ANOTHER CORUPT!
Go Away....infact...you mind as well stay up there Gov. Palin. I am sure that Sen. Biden will do a good job "being in charge of the Senate"!
Did Todd Palin vote for his moose shooting wife or did he vote to secede from the 48????
Palin: "I pray I wake up the VP elect, blah blah blah..."
Me: "I pray you don't!"
And I hope I wake up 10 years younger. I think we have the same odds.
To the curb with Katherine Harris......
I HOPE WE AS AMERICAN NEVER HEAR FROM THIS WOAMN AGAIN.
HOW SHE MANAGE TO BECOME GOVERNOR IS THE WYSTERY OF THIS CENTURY.
PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL SHE WILL NEVER BE.STAY AT HOME AND RAISE HER CHILDREN, HER SON WILL NEED HER FULL ATTENTION, NOT SOME NANNY.
Palin did not reveal who she voted for in the Sen. Ted Stevens race because she voted for a crook...I mean her own party...wait, that's the same thing isn't it?
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
And she envisions "a uniter type of role"? You must be joking Sarah – you've been one of the most devisive candidates in history!
I pray that we will never see her in the White House, in ANY role!
Palin says.....“Now tomorrow, I hope, I pray, I believe that I'll be able to wake up as Vice President elect, and be able to get to work in a transition mode with the President elect, John McCain,”....
What a FLAKE.... ALL about HER..... as USUAL......
WAKE up Palin... the world SEES what a JOKE you are......
I think she would be great for football sideline commentating. Once she got rid of the expensive and dowdy wardrobe the Republicans bought for her.
Seriously? She's complaining about things being taken out of context? Good god.
In between hammering the poor word "also", this pretender has the nerve, the absolute gall to claim that she would be a uniter. Last time we heard that was hmmmmmm......Dubya? Some uniter he turned out to be. Much like Dubya, Plain has the rare ability to unite people - to her dismay, people are united against her!!
She has gripes about the state of journalism today??? She should be grateful that she did not get absolutely destroyed for being a media coward instead of griping. The media should have been going harder after her, not the opposite. I guess that's why her journalism degree was so hard to come by.
Voted with delight today to send her back to Alaska!!! Buh-bye Palin
no wonder the obamunists want free healthcare. they are all going to need it from their carpal tunnel after flooding cnn with their negative garbage
shes a scum bag
Nostradamus’s has a prediction for the upcoming presidential elections in November. He has predicted that Obama will win, (something that seems more likely because Hilary is now out of the race), and he has also said less than pleasant things about what will happen once Obama actually becomes president. Apparently, Obama will come into contact with an anti- Christ, somehow plunging us all into war. If this is going to happen, I am not looking forward to it. It even makes me somewhat scared that Obama will win, and it is almost making me wish that McCain will instead, despite my previous support and love of Obama!
Another thing I believe is that if one takes light, so to speak, in this prophecy, it is more likely to come true. I’m trying very hard not to believe it, but it’s hard with all of his other predictions looming over my head!
Lastly, one thing that I almost live in fear of (sad, I know), is that fact that Nostradamus predicted that the world will end in 2012. It’s supposed to end in around December, if I remember correctly. For this particular prophesy, it isn’t just Nostradamus who foresees this as happening- in fact, all of the Mayan and Aztec calendars end in this year too! It is somewhat frightening, to say the least.
Well, I sure hope I didn’t scare you too much. If you were interested in this, though, go ahead and research it! You will find many sites that are doubting Nostradamus, but there are also some that believe in what he has to say.
I pray that you find yourself back in Alaska...and that you stay there!
Harm to McCain? Heck, she did irreversable harm to the entire Republican Party. They must be smoking that good stuff if they think Palin is the future of the party.
Of course she lingered. This is her last appearance ever (hopefully) as a VP or any other national candidate for office! She is going to do everything in her power to make her 15++ minutes of fame last. Go Away and take Joe the Plumber turned country music artist with you.....
I was hoping she was not going to return to the lower 48...oh, well it is nice to have her in AZ to console McCain.
Hopefully the nightmare will not return in 2012.
pallin,is the scariest costume for halloween,I'm glad halloween is over
OH MY GOD; TALK ABOUT BEING CLUELESS. I HOPE TO NEVER HEAR FROM HER AGAIN ANYTIME SOON. WHAT A HISTORIC DAY; OBAMA THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT OF THE USA. CAN'T WAIT TILL HE GETS SWORN IN; TOO BAD HIS GRANDMA WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE IT HAPPEN. GOD BLESS HER SOUL AND GOD BLESS OBAMA AND HIS FAMILY. THE WORLD WILL BE A BETTER PLACE WITH HIM AS HEAD OF THE USA.
"Get everybody to unite"???? Wow – she is out there. She has called Obama a terrorist, anti-American, a socialist.......boy, that's sure some way to unite folks! Fly from Arizona tonight to Alaska and stay there!!!
Please lose gracefully, return to AK and never run for national office again.....Thanks
Sincerely,
"The Real America"
Sarah Palin is a moron and God help us if she is our Vice-President.
what a dope!! go back to moose country
“I am also exercising my right to privacy, and I don't have to tell anybody who I vote for, nobody does, and that’s really cool about America also,” she said.
Not voting for yourself when your a VP candidate = FAIL.
The "right to privacy" is really cool, Gov. You should give that some thought.
I PRAY THAT SHE DOESN'T WAKE UP AT ALL IF SHE'S V.P. ELECT!!
Keep on dreaming. Nobody will give you another chance.
Goodbye moose killer.
YES WE CAN SEND HER BACK TO WASILLA.
Fair thee well Hocky Mom
I hope, pray, and believe that she will be able to wake up Governor of Alaska, and that somewhere, Joe Biden will wake up Vice President elect.
PLEASE GO AWAY PITTBULL, YOUR VOICE IS IRRITATING. I WONDER WHO YOU VOTED FOR? WHAT AN IDIOT.
I would respectfully disagree. I voted for Palin in regard to her hurting McCain.
Palin made me vote for Obama.
Adios, Sarah Palin. I'd like to say it was nice knowing you but my mother taught me not to lie.
Now, maybe Palin can get back to rebuilding the bridge to nowhere.
My vote goes to the person I respect, the person who was not born in Idaho, did not go to school in Idaho, but still felt Idaho was important enough to visit.
Today, I want to see a blue Idaho!
Obama/Biden '08
you're***
Palin, a uniter??? Isn't that a line from George Bush? I have only heard divisive, vindictive personal attacks from her. She is the one who actually made fun of Obama for being a community organizer. She has taken the typical Republican line of partisanship at any cost.
lets all pray and pray that she goes AWAY as far as RUSSIA...
but they dont want her there either, Europeans ARE VERY VERY EDUCATED
brainless jane palin could not tell you the difference between a colony and republic.
she is clue LESS to put it politely
jjjaajja
To all the die-hard Repubs posting angry nonsense on this and other sites: would you please stop foaming at the mouth? only TIME will tell if you are right, so relax and be patient. Dems say that Obama will usher in a new and bright chapter in the American story; that we will see more cooperation, economic stability and social justice. Repubs have been listening to maniacs like Hannity, Coulter and Limbaugh, so they think that the world is going to come to an end. Let's just watch and see, shall we? And in two years, we can meet back here and talk it over calmly. For today, however, you may need some Valium to cope with the Democratic LANDSLIDE that is about to unfold.
Personally, if sarah palin would like to be a unifer, she should start with herself, since she race baited, became divisive and promoted less intelligence as a banner to be celebrated. she should start by reading the constitution or take a civics course. she should report facts instead of doing what she accuse the media of doing. actually she should stay in alaska, no body with any integrity or decency want her as a leader. let the rnc give her and her family the trips, clothes etc for spreading toxic spiteful rhetoric.
I hope and pray that I will never have to hear your voice again!
I think she is already looking at being the "white oprah" that Fey satirized on SNL. I am guessing that is her sly way of saying she is looking to go into journalism. I hope she helps journalism more than Mccain.
Interesting how Sarah is upset with the Media reporting based on "gossip and innuendo and things taken out of context." Isn't that exactly what she does?
Go away now....
I think she should think about how she will look in prison clothing after she loses the election and lacks the political clout to stop the investigations and prosecution for her illicite deeds while Governor of Alaska.
And I'll be donating lots of money to whoever runs against her for Governor next time, you betcha. Also.
OF COURSE SHE VOTED FOR HIM, IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT THEY DO THEY FIND A WAY TO JUSTIFY IT.
WELL ITS OVER NOW!!!!!!
YOU CAN GO BACK TO SHOOTING MOOSE FROM HELICOPTERS.
I PRAY THEY ( THE REPUGS) ARE SILLY ENOUGH TO KEEP YOU ON!!!!
Way To Go Palin...Rooting For You In '08! You Can Go Far With Your Winning Spirit And Attitude!
Kelvary
She's a friggin' idiot. Please GOD do not let this woman hold any more offices! The entire Republican party is full of liars and fear mongers.
Palin always wants to keep a secret about things that don't even matter. I could just see what the daily conversations are at her home:
Todd: Hey honey. I'm home. What's for dinner?
Sarah: Well, I have something that i made on the hot stove that you can eat sometime tonight, or you can keep it in the oven and eat it later, because eating now is great for your health and however if you decide, as I know some people may do, to eat it later, then it will not digest, as many doctors say isn't good for the body when you sleep, because sleeping is such a great thing to do late at night when youre tired and I know that you like your sleep very much. Because when you sleep, what do you do? You dream about the loving family that you have and you also get a better start when you try to race over the great state of Alaska.
Todd: huh?
Where is Palins full medical report? All she is able to provide is a letter from a letter from family physician...? If this was the other way around, we would be hearing about this 24×7 from CNN/Fox news/Hannity, O Rieley and Rush...what is she hiding and why are we letting her get away with it..
BTW:
John McCain, Barack Obama and Joseph Biden have all provided details about their medical history.
Let's all pray that her prayers aren't answered! Someone help us if they are!
She oughta have regrets like only campaigning to one race of people in this multicultural nation.
I'd vote for Sarah for President in a 'New York minute' even though they probably wouldn't.
The lower 48 states are better off without her labeling where the 'pro-american' and 'anti-american' parts of the country are.
Sarah....please stay in Alaska....enough of you already!!
lets pray, hope and believe that you will disappear.
go away palin
brainless jane palin
ice fishing might jsut be the thing for her..
You are kidding... Sarah Palin is amazing. Here's hoping she is the future of the GOP.
What's "really cool about America also" is that that "right to privacy" has been interpreted by the United States Supreme Court to guarantee abortion rights for American women.
Isn't that right, Sarah?
Obama/Biden '08
Love her, love her! You go Palin!
Pat, get a grip and come into the 21st century. Sarah Palin is a smart, articulate, savvy politician who just happens to be a female. I'd guess you were a male, am i right?
“...where just too much is reported based on gossip and innuendo and things taken out of context” – holy crap! and what is "pals around with terrorists" and "spread the wealth" – pot calling the kettle black!
Gossip, innuendo, taking things out of context? Hmmm...where have we seen that before?
I'm surprised – she can actually use the voting machine.
Maybe after the election she can go home and try something really new...being a mom!
She might be an all right governor but no where near presidential material!
Bye bye and best of luck!
I wonder if Alaskans realize that they are now regarded as socialists since Palin took money from the oil companies and distributed $3,000 to each Alaskan. Maybe that was the Alaska Independent Party's agenda all along.
Palin Said : "The blogosphere, the two, three hour news cycles, where just too much is reported based on gossip and innuendo and things taken out of context,” she explained, adding that she’d like to help improve the profession because she has “great respect for the world of journalism.”
-------
How funny this is. She attached Obama based on gossip and innendo. What a fraud she is.
She used everything out of context, and now she's complaining
I think his Palin decision notwithstanding, John McCain ran a good campaign. His policies are wrong for the country, but he is a great man, and he deserves our respect.
Kaladi Coffee? Sounds Muslim...
“I am also exercising my right to privacy, and I don't have to tell anybody who I vote for, nobody does, and that’s really cool about America also,”.
Ya think she voted for Obama?
I PRAY THAT SHE DOESN'T WAKE UP V.P. ELECT!!
"help improve the profession of journalism".... From a woman who couldnt name one newpaper or magazine she reads...
That was kind of gracious of her. Where has "she" been the past two months?
i hope she takes grammar lessons, no matter where she ends up.
McCain will loose the election because he IS more of the same! And because he ran a poorly organized campaign! And because he was able to show that he indeed was a maverick and had good judgement, HE BUCKLED UNDER PRESSURE and chose Palin!!!!
McCain NOT President material, No way, No how!
McCain was the cause of his lost of this election if he looses. He should have stood his ground and picked who he wanted. Not whom he was told to pick.
Let's pray that she stays in Alaska. She has a lot to learn. The prank call from Canada, totally revealed, how unprepared and naive, Sarah is, if she is to be the VP.
Gosh, I hope she's around to run for president in 2012! Why? Because I'm a Democrat. Not since Dan Quayle have Republicans backed such a dope.
Palin bemoans the state of journalism today? I didn't blame the SAT for the questions I got wrong.
I love how neocons blame the media for everything, half of whom are solidly in the tank for them (yes, talk radio counts, too).
She has "great respect for the world of journalism"....except for that probing, pesky-question-asking, "gotcha" media. Give me a break. Whoever thinks this small-minded trainwreck could run our nation of 300 million after governing a state of 500,000 crazies who choose to live in the Arctic Circle should really ... I dunno ... think about it for longer than it takes to listen to a catchphrase.
“I am also exercising my right to privacy, and I don't have to tell anybody who I vote for, nobody does, and that’s really cool about America also,” she said.
What a sophomoric statement, poor use of language and not "cool" use of language.
God chooses the greater good...in this case, it will be Obama who wakes up as President. More likely to go to bed as President.
Sarah ... don't hold your breath while praying or sleeping in anticipation of being the VP elect ... it's not going to happen! America will not elect a know-nothing hate-monger such as yourself and a creatin like McCain!!
“It would certainly be a uniter type of role,” she added.
Certainly, just like W united us in hating him.
Oh shut up Sarah.
McCain hasn't lost anything yet. I love how Liberals always think they have won before the voting ends. Didnt you learn anything in 2000 and 2004?
I hope she go's home and builds igloos.
She has reached the highest point in a career, outside of president, and she played the sex role instead of showing brain power – of course you need a brain to do that, right?
she did more harm than good for mccain.......lost my vote completly. scary thought to have her a "heartbeat" away!!!
I will miss Tina Fey on SNL. That's about all Sarah Palin was good for- a few laughs. I hope she stays in Alaska.
i also think the party would have been better served by mick romney as vp
Palin the Failin's future is toward the BRIDGE TO NOWHERE! SEEYA!
So just as I get this right...
Palin and her "First dude" FLY back to Alaska just to cast their vote,
then FLY down to the lower 48 just to attend the "Dinner of the Defeated". The more abuse of anything... the better is her stand.
Perhaps no one ever told her about absentee ballots and the instructions on how to fill them out.
We can't wait for her to go back to being the Governor of Alaska. We can't wait for her to leave us "Lower 48ers" alone.
TTFN Sarah...
Palin is, by far, the most terrifying woman in politics today. The sooner she goes back to Alaska, the better. I am personally thankful for all that she has done to harm McCain's campaign. It brought to light just how "off" his judgment is.
I think Palin has a great future – as a comedian. She should give Tina Fey a run for her money. In Politics she would be more dangerous than George Bush.
As a journalist, let me say, thanks but no thanks. We don't need someone who has such a indifference to the truth helping improve our profession.
Why not start with being honest about the Bridge to Nowhere or earmarks. Or, even smaller, how about NOT inciting the crowd with lies like the SF Chron "hid" the Obama coal tape, when it was on their Web site for the last 10 months. Or, if someone asks you what papers you read, just be honest and say, "Zippo. None. Nada. I don't read a thing."
Journalism is fine. It's the readers — and non-readers, like Palin — that are the problem.
Go back to Alaska and stay there. They deserve you, the rest of us don't.
I second that!!!
Check out the video of two black panthers, ONE CARRYING A NIGHT STICK blocking white voters in PA today trying to vote.
The right to privacy things will certainly be on SNL. "I don't have to to tell you who I voted for and I'm not gonna!" (wink)
Bless her heart for having a child-like mind.
lol
Funny, she regrets the state of journalism where too much is reported based on gossip, innuendo and out of context – but she was the queen of keeping that stuff alive!! She should regret her actions- not a very good example for her children.
I'd still like to hear where she stands on the issues- not on her feelings about the competition...
iN YOUR DREAMS LADY!
Palin a uniter? roflmao Nice to know she has a sense of humor at least. A uniter . . . what a hoot!
I really truly hope that this will end her political career. We don't need power hungry glory hounds running this country.
So right to privacy exists for Palin when she wants to vote for a convicted felon, but not to exercise a woman's right to choice? She's bogus and see-through.
after drinking my magic iced tea i predict that palin is going to live in an igloo when all this election is over. and for mccain he'll be a lost sheep in the senate for next 2 years.
peace and go OBAMA-BIDEN 08!!!!!
It's a little late to choose HOPE when you've been bashing it the whole election!
She might want to go get a 100 ways to cook moose cookbook for the holidays, its warp Peggy Hill.
I wish her no harm, but GET YOUR BUTT BACK TO ALASKA .... GOOD LUCK, AND BON VOYAGE !!!
aside giving the VP more control and power she is already talking about doing away with free speech.
can not wait until she is gone. i don't care where either just get her outta the news. PLEASE
WHAT A JOKE PALIN IS
I VOTED FOR OBAMA TODAY IN GREENSBORO, NC. I WAS VERY EXCITED. OTHER PEOPLE IN LINE WERE ALSO VOTING FOR OBAMA
IT IS A GREAT FEELING TO HAVE A VOICE AND TO VOTE
MCCAIN AND PALIN SPREAD HATE AND DIVISION DISGUSTING TICKET.....
I would like to write a book about her,
Palin- The Runningmate to Nowhere
It sounds like palin lives in her own little world.
Let me get this straight-does she think that journalist are dirty or are they the salt of the earth?
Make your mind up palin-each day, she sounds more & more like Bush!
Sarah Palin needs to practice what she preaches. Go check out how many times she flat out lied in her statements on factcheck. Pot calling the kettle black.
Hopefully her role will be VP for the next 4 years, then President after that.
As per her prediction, God would do the right thing today. We hope, we pray, we believe he would throw the repubs out of Oval office.
Sorry, I dont want to see her again!
I am praying that I will wake up tomorrow with Joe Biden as vice-president-elect. At this momnet, even as much as relish the idea of an Obama presidency, I am longing for Palin and Joe the Plumber to sink back into obscurity and disappear like the bad dream they have been.
She incited negativity and violence in her gatherings and we don't
need hate-mongers and false statements berating an honorable
man. She was the enemy of the campaign. Cute but cruel.
It will be many years before Palin is truly qualified for a national role. She is best at the local level, as she herself professes. There is no need to force people beyond what they love and are good at. Perhaps after a second term at Governor will she begin to understand the scope of leading a whole state, let alone an entire country.
I sure do hope she runs again and wins Republican nomination next time. That will make sure Democrats stay in power for as long as she is around. Way to go, Governor!
Asked if she had any regrets about the campaign, Palin bemoaned “the state of journalism today.”
...Wow...what a leader in the making to lead the free world in the 21st century!!
