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. . . . .

Former governor?

[STARWISE]

Why thank you ... ;)

[CharterOakie]

How can one possibly count all the reasons to love and admire this noble, courageous, magnificent lady?

Thanks be to God.

And thanks for the ping, FP.

[woollyone]

Sarah’s wisdom is shown in not allowing the interviewer to define the terms.

Good going!

[woollyone]

pleae add me

ty in advance

[FlashBack]

She can’t take a swing with both hands tied behind her back...That is what the left is afraid of...the gloves are off!!!

[FlashBack]

Thanks for being fair and open-minded Huck...that’s all one can ask.

[Scythian]

BUMP BECAUSE 90% OF THE FREEPERS KEEPING ASKING WHY SHE QUIT, COME ON FOLKS, HERE IT IS, LISTEN TO IT, ESPECIALLY THOSE TRASHING HER HERE ON THE FR, IF YOU GOT THE GUTS ...

[null and void]

[SoCalPol]

it would be a “grass roots campaign Grassroots, the foundation who pick up and bring along the others who are now getting it. Palin 2012

[PhiKapMom]

Grassroots all the way and not hiring those high priced baffoon consultants will save a fortune.

Baffoon =

1. a ludicrous figure : clown

2. a gross and usually ill-educated or stupid person

No more Schmidt or Wallace types that go from campaign to campaign drawing big paychecks. She needs hard working people that have worked with the grassroots. People that are willing to roll up their sleeves and work not sit on their high perch and tell others what to do. IOTW, she needs people from Middle America and not the east coast elitist who will undermine her every step of the way.

I agree with part of you suggestions, but there needs to be a small trustworthy group to work with. ... Mary Matelyn, Liz Cheney, ...the guy That I never can remember his name that advised both Reagan an Newt’s contract with America....
She needs to keep on topic with limited topics.
Someone needs to organize and do the graph diagrams of communities...It works, I’ve worked several townships in my area.

But you are correct local people need to go door to door. Unfortunately most conservative I’ve known won’t do that. Either because they work, or just don’t have the social skills. College kids do need to get involved, but NOT as the bosses.

[curiosity]

Unfortunately, my dear, quitting makes you a quitter.

[PhiKapMom]

Mary, Liz Cheney and people like that are not big time paid consultants. Mary makes good money but she rolls her sleeves and does as much if not more work then anyone.

The ones I am thinking about are the Schmid’s, Wallaces, the San Diego/LA consultants of Romney/Mormon candidates, some of Huckabee’s. They are arrogant as can be and want to tell everyone what to do.

One I would hire would Ed Goeas who is a consultant to Mary Fallin, Haley Barbour and others.

The ones that don’t consider themselves elitist I would bring on board. But the status quo, have to conform don’t touch them with a 10-foot poll.

Thanks for the ping! That was one heck of an interview. Sarah gave well developed answers, on her own terms. Looks like we’ll be seeing a lot of that now. :-)

[hoosiermama]

Just watched the FOX interview on Greta's show....Sarah is all decked out in her waders, taking the salmon out of the nets...working hard....looking fantastic! You can see Piper in the background, pitchin in. Her answers were excellent IMO.

Greta then talked to the lawyer. He mention that one of the people that is filing these IS connected to Obama and the DNC. He also explains the Alinsky method they are using against her without calling it by name.

[Al B.]

The DNC-connected anklebiter is Lenda Kellen Biegle, aka 'Celtic Diva', shown here with Senator Mark Begich. She was the official DNC blogger for Alaska during the campaign.

[Lauren BaRecall]

I heard a soundclip on the Curtis Sliwa radio show. In responding to the posibility of “killing her political carreer,” Sarah said, “If I die, then I die.” (Sounding like she was grinning over the fact that she has nothing to lose.)

Was that in Greta’s interview? It wasn’t from the one on this thread.

[Lauren BaRecall]

Can’t decide whether that’s a smile or a snarl.

[hoosiermama]

Yes it was...She preceded the comment with something like “I don't know whether we're goin to catch fish at a particular run this week or next....I don't know what the future holds politically in two years...I do know I'm going to be working for people who....(basically stating she'll be doing grassroot work for candidate of either party that hold her values)

Her entire attitude the past couple of days has caused both dad and I to say, just like in Alaska the GOB-GOP had better get out of her way...Sarah Barracuda...is about to jump in the pool.
