First on TVNewser: Insiders tell us the first Charlie Gibson/Sarah Palin interview is complete. The first sit-down lasted 30 minutes and included questions about energy independence, foreign affairs and whether Gov. Palin is ready to be Vice President. "Absolutely," is her response. When asked if she is ready to step in and be president of the United States. Palin answers, "You bet."
We're told Gibson asked for two extra minutes and used it to ask Palin whether she agrees with the "Bush Doctrine." Among Palin's responses:
• "The top priority is to defend the United States of America. I know that John McCain would do that."
• "With new leadership comes opportunity to do things better."
• "War has got to be a last option."
• "If a strike is imminent we have every right to defend our country...and that's what a McCain/Palin administration would do."
• "In order to stop Islamic extremists we must do whatever it takes. We must not blink, Charlie."
Sounds good to me...
I am in love with this woman!!!!
Go Sarah!!
Get em Saracuda!
AHHHHH....Sarah.

After work cocktail and Sarah Palin on TV.
Yeeeep.
ABC should charge Super Bowl advertising rates for this.
If you see any lefties claiming that Charlie just throws softballs, remind them how irate they got when Charlie moderated a Hillary/Obama debate and got the Obamessiah all flustered with fairly simple questions. That will either shut them up or get them to implode. Both are fun.
I like it, but it will be spun this way in an Obama ad:
Can we "bet" our future on an untested gov.?
Yeah, wait till they edit it and twist it around.
Can’t wait to see the video. I just can’t get enough of her.
She's spoken for. You can vote for her, just the same. [ 8^)
I am not much of a TV guy. When is this being shown?
“We must not blink, Charlie.”
Glad to see her engage Charlie personally. If she’s been working with John Bolton and others, I’m sure they’ve prepared her better than being a witness in the courtroom.
No one can.

This woman is a bio-replicant machine designed by Karl Rove.
He programmed her to perfection!!
Thank You Architect!
No time to go wobbly, George.

The Palin Interview
September 11, 2008 5:01 PM
Charlie Gibson has just finished his first interview with Sarah Palin. It’s a global tour — Iraq and Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan, Georgia and Russia, and America’s place in the world. For all of you who were concerned — Charlie asked plenty of follow-ups. There were also questions about her general qualifications to be Vice President. Or Commander-In-Chief. Here are a couple of excerpts. Much more on World News this evening.
GIBSON: Governor, let me start by asking you a question that I asked John McCain about you, and it is really the central question. Can you look the country in the eye and say “I have the experience and I have the ability to be not just vice president, but perhaps president of the United States of America?”
PALIN: I do, Charlie, and on January 20, when John McCain and I are sworn in, if we are so privileged to be elected to serve this country, we’ll be ready. I’m ready.
GIBSON: And you didn’t say to yourself, “Am I experienced enough? Am I ready? Do I know enough about international affairs? Do I — will I feel comfortable enough on the national stage to do this?”
PALIN: I didn’t hesitate, no.
GIBSON: Didn’t that take some hubris?
PALIN: I — I answered him yes because I have the confidence in that readiness and knowing that you can’t blink, you have to be wired in a way of being so committed to the mission, the mission that we’re on, reform of this country and victory in the war, you can’t blink. So I didn’t blink then even when asked to run as his running mate.
****************************
GIBSON: You said recently, in your old church, “Our national leaders are sending U.S. soldiers on a task that is from God.” Are we fighting a holy war?
PALIN: You know, I don’t know if that was my exact quote.
GIBSON: Exact words.
PALIN: But the reference there is a repeat of Abraham Lincoln’s words when he said — first, he suggested never presume to know what God’s will is, and I would never presume to know God’s will or to speak God’s words. But what Abraham Lincoln had said, and that’s a repeat in my comments, was let us not pray that God is on our side in a war or any other time, but let us pray that we are on God’s side. That’s what that comment was all about, Charlie.
GIBSON: I take your point about Lincoln’s words, but you went on and said, “There is a plan and it is God’s plan.”
PALIN: I believe that there is a plan for this world and that plan for this world is for good. I believe that there is great hope and great potential for every country to be able to live and be protected with inalienable rights that I believe are God-given, Charlie, and I believe that those are the rights to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That, in my world view, is a grand — the grand plan.
GIBSON: But then are you sending your son on a task that is from God?
PALIN: I don’t know if the task is from God, Charlie. What I know is that my son has made a decision. I am so proud of his independent and strong decision he has made, what he decided to do and serving for the right reasons and serving something greater than himself and not choosing a real easy path where he could be more comfortable and certainly safer.
What I love is by the media whining and moaning about her not being available (to them) they’ve ensured an even bigger audience for her tomorrow night.
I love Sarah...Johns my Hero!!!!!!
McCain/Palin 08.....Oh my Gosh WE May WIN This!!!!!
Well, Charlie, we should sit down with our adversaries -— we must talk -— we must have dialogue -— we must be very carefull or all those mean ‘ol bad guys will hurt us!
EXCLUSIVE: GOV. SARAH PALIN WARNS WAR MAY BE NECESSARY IF RUSSIA INVADES ANOTHER COUNTRY
The DUmmies are going nuts over it.
A little humility would do the Obama/Biden ticket some good but there's no chance of that occurring.
I said it earlier today in my 1st ever post here....
Obama and the msm have....SARAHNOIA!!!!!!
Go McCain/Palin 2008
I’d like to hear Obama’s unscripted answers to these questions.
Look at the venom from the libs on that blog. They know Palin hit this out of the park and are furious.

Sarah speaks of things the left cares little for and is certainly not adept at...
1. Defending America
Sarah Palin is I.D.D.G.
(with apologies to the Gillian Anderson Fan Club)
Were there any “hanging curve balls” the likes of which were thrown at the Dem’s? I doubt it. In any case, just these answers drove the hard fast balls out of the park ....
All she has to do is be herself.

There are rare certain scenarios when war is not the last option, but the only option.
Sarah made him strong. The Army made him ARMY STRONG!
From one PAM to another, GO PALIN! HOOAH!
The process of imploding has already begun. But I do agree with you, this election will be fun.
That’s our gal! Go Sarah!!
um, she’s right. we were close when they went into Georgia.
