When Sarah Palin was told to leave Michigan in 2008 when her running mate John McCain pulled the plug on their presidential campaign in this state, Palin said she was shocked.
On Saturday, she told a crowd of 1,400 in Clarkston it definitely wasn't her idea and she paid a political price for saying so.
Palin was the keynote speaker Saturday at Americans for Prosperity's Defending the American Dream Summit at Mt. Zion Church in Clarkston.
Palin spoke for about an hour and then did a 15-minute question and answer, taking prepared questions.
Palin said it was Michigan that got her the reputation for being a rogue candidate during the 2008 election.
She told the crowd a reporter told her the McCain campaign was pulling out of Michigan.
"I was shocked," Palin said. "I said, 'Dang. I wish we were staying in Michigan.'"
She said the comment upset the campaign headquarters who said she was going "rogue."

Now the libs are calling the oil spill in the Gulf Lake Palin because of her “Drill, baby, Drill” comment. What they don’t recognize is that as governor, she brought to conclusion the litigation against Exxon-Mobil for the Exxon Valdez spill in 1989. She sued and won in the court.
“Don’t Retreat - Reload!”
Our Sarah sure has a way with words!!!!!!!
Now the libs are calling the oil spill in the Gulf Lake Palin because of her “Drill, baby, Drill” comment. ................................ Wait, somehow the MSM will find a way to blame it on Bush and Cheney. After all if Bush was still in office, this would be his disaster for sure.
I called it ‘0trina’ on another thread this morning.
