(PRNewsChannel) / New York, N.Y. / In her first network interview since the election, Governor Sarah Palin sits down with NBC's Matt Lauer in an extensive interview to air Tuesday, November 11 and Wednesday, November 12 on "Today." Lauer will travel to Alaska to take a rare look at a day in the life of the Governor.

Lauer will talk to Palin from the Governor's office in Anchorage, where she will show him her day-to-day duties as she dives back into Alaska politics. Palin will also give Lauer a tour of her home in Wasilla where he will also talk to her husband, Todd and their children.

The complete interview will also be available on TODAYshow.com.

I have a different take on this... Sarah is now free from mcinsane and his liberal-lite positions she had to spout - she can now be Sarah and begin her distancing from his failed campaign.

I like this but undertsnad it's a gamble.

Lauer will make Gov. Palin look like a criminal. She will gain NOTHING from this interview.

Matt Wower - what a freakin’ joke!! I think Governor Palin is making a mistake by agreeing to an interview with that snake. He’s a partisan hack and will continue the DBM effort to discredit her.

I know that gov. Palin can handle herself but, after the Chuckie Gibson and perky katie couric interviews, I’d duck anymore alphabet news interviews. She doesn’t need them and they are still out to destroy her for 2012. They’re still scared to death of her.

I agree. The goal will be to finish her off.

Well, if she is to stay in the political limelight, she needs to learn how to play the criminal press.

She might as well be interviewed by the Democrat National Committee.

Why grant interviews to the likes of Lauer? All that will come of it will be a contest among those "journalists" to see who can make Sarah look the worst. That's what happened with the Couric and Gibson interviews.

Stay with friendly or neutral interviewers like Gretta and Hannity.

There is no way she will get a fair shot in this interview.

Sarah cannot let these lies about Africa, NAFTA, etc. become accepted “fact” in the mind of the public. Her best bet to prove this meme wrong is to go on the DBM and prove that she is smart and capable and it was idiots from the McLame campaign that messed her up. I have faith in Sarah, she is a true leader.

I have this sense that she sees it as a challenge and can’t resist a challenge. I’m not sure she gets that it’s a trap, it’s always a trap, and it’s always going to be a trap.

Good Lord. Sarah, stay AWAY from these scumbuckets please.”

I agree.
Gov Palin should stay the heck away from these bottom feeders of the MSM vermin.
I am not sure I like this at all.

I think you are right - she needs to kill this now. It also fits into a strong strategy of going out and using her fame to drive the media to give her a conduit. She brings ratings and they may hate her, but so long as she has some control over the way in which the interview is conducted, she wins.

I think she’s already starting to work her way toward a Senate run. She appoints a fill-in for a few weeks, wins a landslide and goes to the Senate. There, she votes no, speaks out against stupid policies and gets the plum speaking and interviews on the circuit.

I think she has tremendous power because of her ability to draw a crowd (in real life and on TV). She has to use it now to build toward the future - the first part of that is slapping down the BS that has been said about her.

And that is not to suck up to the liberal press like McCain did. They will turn on you every time. She should be on O'Reilly if she wants a huge audience.

Speaking of O’Reilly, I don’t make it a point to listen to him, but he had Greta on today discussing the interview she’s doing tonight w/ Sarah and in the next segment he was talking to caller and mentioned that there are tapes or recordings of these debate prep sessions w/ Sarah. Anyone else hear that or heard about this????

All of FOX has leaned way to the left lately.
