I think that John Zeigler did not know that Katie Couric was prepped by the Obama campaign a week before the interview was done, it was a total set-up. It was not just a “gotcha” question, it was planned in advance because they knew that if she had stated some newspapers that she read they would have asked her for specific articles, and Sarah knew that, she knew that and she wasn’t gonna fall for it. Shame on the McCain campaign for selling her out and putting right back in the lion’s den, once was fine(Because perhaps they had no idea what Katie’s motivation was) but once they saw this was a smear campaign, they should not have allowed her back again and again, McCain and his drones should be ashamed of themselves, disgusting pieces of garbage they are. I can’t wait for Sarah to run her OWN campaign, its gonna be awesome!!
Go Sarah !
We love you Sarah !
This was the first time that Sarah basically said “Yeah I am gonna run” before it was always “Well if I see an opportunity I will go through that door” but this time, WOW it looks like she wants it, and she is gonna take it if we want her to take it. U GO GIRL!!! John Zeigler is an awesome guy and great interviewer, on his web site you see Sarah and John together, great interview, perhaps one of the best interviews I have seen with Sarah, well Greta’s was awesome too but this one WOW, Sarah was PISSED, don’t mess with Sarah Barracuda!!
Obama knew very well how important that is. We mocked him for avoiding Fox... but it was well calculated by his handlers.
Letting openly leftist hacks like Couric or Gibson define Palin was criminally stupid by the McCain campaign.
For those who'll say that you have to face "though questions" also... there is no fairness or evenhandedness in the media. You either go to friends or enemies.
That was a terrific interview. Every post election interview I’ve seen with her makes me furious that the McCain campaign just didn’t let her be herself. When the smears and attacks started coming in, they should have let her hold a news conference right away to stamp out the fires before they were allowed to spread and get bigger. I’ll bet the race would have been a lot closer than it was even with the financial meltdown. Maybe that’s why McCain handled her the way he did, he wanted to make sure it didn’t get too close, or else he might actually win, and how would that look to his friends across the aisle.
Go Sarah, 2012 can be yours if you want it.
Even more disgusting was listening to the applause coming from the audience during ‘The View’ segment...
Look into her eyes. Sarah Palin has a storm brewing in her soul.
This is war.
She will be back.
I have so much respect for this woman.
As they didn't pay black actors back then, Whoopi had to bed down in Oprah's womb for the 1st 5 years, which was instrumental to her views on life..and..other things.
(Katie Couric's job is coming up, so I'm practicing for the screen test)
/sarcasm off
Sarah Palin has more common sense than anyone I can think of in politics today. She may have been naive this time around the national stage, but the next time this gorgeous and well spoken mama grizzly will be cocked, locked and ready to rock.
I cannot wait to vote for her.
At the top of the ticket, preferably.
Wow, great interview. When is the documentary going to be completed and aired. Will it get onto national tv.
Without question this is the best interview I have ever seen of SP. It is the best because you get the real Sarah Palin unvarnished, in charge and mistress of her fate.
After she looked at the piece of garbage from the View and was asked how she felt and said "when I see that my grizzly rises in me" you know for sure that this woman has the toughness to be POTUS.
And when she comments about the media treatment of Caroline Kennedy and mentions "the class issue" you know this woman knows the score and will be no body's fool in 2012.
She was a good soldier in 2008. Saluted McCain and did her duty. And for that we can be proud that she is the kind of woman who puts duty first before self. For that reason alone she can be trusted with the power of the presidency.
But in 2012 she will be in command and will be calling the shots. And this time she wont have GWB or Johnny Boy to drag around. Here is one Palinphile who can't wait !!
Obviously she needs to take lessons from a Kennedy in "You know..." how to be "You know..." a high-class "You know..." act..."You know..."

(For the humor-impaired, yes, that was sarcasm...)
Let’s see if Palin can keep her fan base excited for the next few years. The moderates (esp. Romney supporters) feel that Palin was just a gimmick and will be forgotten over. They also think as conservatives get to know more about Palin, conservatives will find her to be a “RINO” and abandon her.
I was a Romney supporter and I am NOT moderate. I had subscribed to mymanmitt, and they started petty snarky stuff right after the convention. Afraid of Sarah. That came from the blog, not the top. I think it is more elite versus regular folks battle.

Bump to the Top? You Betcha!
Worse than that — she pretends to be the coolest kid there is, and like a high school drama queen, loves to dish gossip when she is done with her target. She was positively catty on some talk shows mocking Governor Palin after the interview. Very unprofessional, and hte fact that her act is considred acceptable standards of professionalism explains (at least in part ) why major news media is at the tipping point of existence.
