Gov. Sarah Palin Tells CNN "I'm Not a Quitter" - Video 7/7/09
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | July 7, 2009 | BrianinMO

Posted on 07/07/2009 6:32:27 AM PDT by Federalist Patriot

Here is complete video of Gov. Sarah Palin's interview with CNN in which she said "I'm not a quitter; I'm a fighter." Palin granted the interview, her first since announcing she will resign as Alaska Governor on July 26. Palin explained that everything changed for her in Alaska when she was chosen as John McCain's vice-presidential nominee. She said a "new political bloodsport" began in Alaska that day - that of attacking Palin and her family. Palin would not say whether she plans to run for President in the future. . . . .

The elites are just pissed off because they knew when Sarah was governor of Alaska they had her under control. The elites in the GOP could beat her up for not doing enough and the elites on the left could beat her up for doing too much. They had Sarah in a no-win situation and loved it. Now they are pissed and scared.

Totally awesome, that interview sure should dispell that tired ol' message that she is a ding-bat, Here's to all the naysayers, it ain't over, it's just beginning folks ...

She sounds really fired out, watch out Washington, we're coming for you, that's right, the people are going to show up and take back our house, there are going to be trials alright, yours.

Great interview! Sarah gets better and better at dealing with the press interviews.......One thing...when she came back from the campaign, one of her first days back, she did an radio interview with an Alaskan radio station. This is what she said, when asked if she would run for President.
She said, “it wouldn’t be a political machine” like the one she had been in. She also said it would be a “grass roots campaign”...........
I think this decision to step down was the beginning, and not the end.
Go get them Sarah!

Yep, they thought they had her penned in but good.

Good for CNN for letting her fully answer the questions (though they were pretty snarky in the article they wrote from the interview.)

I’ve been tough on Palin in the past. Real tough. I was definitely surprised when she did this. I’ve been watching and mostly holding my tongue. I have to say I’m glad I watched this interview. I think she convinced me. She did an amazing job and I think maybe she IS better positioned now. And she was able to make news that bumped Michael Jackson off the screen for a few minutes. She made several excellent points in her answers.

Bravo Sarah! Say what you will ‘naysayers’. This lady is most certainly not a ‘quitter’. IMO, all those labeling her as such will be proven wrong, just wait.

Yelp That’s where she finds them. Tealeaves at TEA parties.

Have you signed up on Team Sarah? I did yesterday at PhiKapMom’s suggestion.

Our friend from Canda have a group there. We could start a FR Republic group.

My new tagline:

Obi-Wan Palin: Strike her down and she shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.

I agree. I believe the new strategy will be an attempt to poison her ability to make political appearances and campaign with other candidates. The MSM will attempt to embarass any candidate that might need her help. They will try to convince candidates that she will hurt rather than help their chances at getting elected. It will be their next attempt to get her back under control.
