If someone told me five months ago that in early January I would pay over $1,400 for an incredibly inconvenient plane ticket and $120 for a 3 a.m. cab fare to get from sunny Los Angeles to Wasilla, Alaska, I would have told them there was a better chance the Dow Jones would be below 9,000 and a gallon of gas less than two dollars.
If they would have told me I’d be glad to have made the journey (even with a seven-hour, weather-aided stop in Seattle), I would have told them Sarah Palin had a better chance to be John McCain’s running-mate. Of course, as we all now know this turned out to be true. And even though I still have the flu I got just before the trip, I’m thrilled to have experienced minus-eleven degrees in Alaska.
Obviously, I was there to interview Governor Palin for my forthcoming documentary about the media coverage of election 2008. My understanding is that the only reason Governor Palin did this interview (while rejecting hundreds of other requests) is because of her sincere devotion to setting the record straight on what really happened during the campaign and to determine why the news coverage was as dangerously slanted as it so clearly was.
Largely because of absurd claims by Democrats that she was violating ethics rules by answering campaign questions on state grounds (one of several ways in which the Democrats in Alaska, who used to love her, are now fully invested in the “take Sarah Palin down” industry), we did the interview at the Palin home. At 9 a.m., without a security guard or handler in sight, Bristol Palin, eight days removed from giving birth, politely answered the door and Governor Palin, not yet fully put together, rushed out to tell myself...

If its the same guy and I cant imagine theres too many john zieglers out there, he used to do overnights on WIP back in the mid 90s
This is an amazing write-up and needs to be on the Palin Ping List!! I have not met several people and spoken to people that have met this woman and the write-up is no different - she is genuine and is the real deal! I hope I get to meet her at CPAC :)

I do not think we’ve lost VA or NC......this year was historical and a historical number of African American voters turned out in those 2 states. Check the demographic breakdown on poll figures in those states-—we are fine.
As for CO and NV, there are so many more independents in those states, and they voted their pocketbooks. See what happens in ‘12 when we have double-digit unemployment and runaway inflation.
They create havoc with their liberal beliefs, flee what they create without realizing they were the problem, and recreate the tax, regulate, and spend nightmares elsewhere.
Sarah, Sarah, Sarah!!!
BTTT
Go Sarah!
