*Palin Claims the McCain Camp Didn't Restrict Her Press Access, but, if They
Did, It's Done Now *(FNC 10/03/08 5:32pm)
CAMERON: How much prep work did you put into this debate?
PALIN: We had a couple of great days in Sedona, Arizona, where we set up our
podiums outdoors so I could breathe the fresh air of the west. And it was an
amazing experience to get to really be in touch with my surroundings as we
were trying to get in touch with some of the very huge challenges facing our
world today. It was a great combination and it was really good strategy that
we took in that debate prep. Just a couple of days of it. But, it was really
good.
CAMERON: So, how would you explain the balance between absorbing all of the
information that you though absorbed, not getting sort of too crammed,
robotic, like cramming for a final exam and spitting it all out. And yet,
not appearing to say, well, I've got the central learning curve but -- I
mean, you've got obviously an immense a lot of homework to do. And that's
not meant as a criticism. Because you're the
governor of Alaska and that's just one of the 50 states.
PLALIN: Sure.
CAMERON: Those of us have been covering this, we're constantly trying to
keep on with the vast amount of information. So, what's that balance between
catching up and not appearing to have been too far behind?
PALIN: Well, this isn't about just a candidate's ability to memorize and to
be fed a tremendous amount of information. Some of it's trivial when you
consider what a vice president's job actually is.
So, that balance in my mind has been struck where I understand the big
picture. I understand what the challenges are. I know what our biggest
threat is in America. I know how important it is to win the war. And I know
how important it is to get our economy back on track.
And I know how important it is to provide Americans two good choices. A
ticket that's going to lift our economy by creating jobs, decrease taxes,
raising government spending and make our nation energy independent. Or, the
opposite. Kill jobs by increasing taxes. Propose more government spending,
more large (INAUDIBLE) from bureaucracies and say no to energy independence.
It's that important that we give the choices. And then, hey, it's in the
voters' hands. That's the best that we can do in striking that balance.
CAMERON: Anybody who's spent any time with you can tell that you really
enjoy this. You like answering the questions in repartee and --
PALIN: I do.
CAMERON: -- and the banter that comes with it.
So, have you bridled against the inability to communicate with the press and
do this sort of thing and spar a little bit?
PALIN: Well, I beg to differ with the notion that I was reined in any way.
But, if there was any of that, it's over. And we get to be out there. We get
to be speakin' with Americans.
What I would like to do. I wish I had four to eight hours in every day so
that I could be on rope lines and I could be speaking individually with
Americans. I know it doesn't work that way.
So again, we go through you and we talk to voters through you. And I'm
accessible. And now that the debate is over, and also -- you know yes, I
kind of feel like, all right. The wings are flying here. Let's soar, let's
get out there and speak to voters and let them know what their choices are.
And I'm excited about this opportunity in this last month.
Highlight #2
*Asked about Pre-Surge Levels, Palin Talks about Victory* (FNC 10/03/08
5:08pm)
CAMERON: Democrats put out 18 news releases last night and said that you
committed 18 lies. The "L" word is pretty common this time around.
Anything you want to revise from last night? Anything that you said that you
think on retropspect, maybe you want to rephrase it or change it?
PALIN: Oh, I mispronounced General McKiernan's name, called him Maclellan. I
apologize for that.
Other than that, nope.
CAMERON: There was a lot of criticism that you misstated when you talked
about us being at pre-surge levels in Iraq. Walk us through your math and
what you were thinking you were talking about that.
PALIN: Just -- well, as victory's getting closer and closer, we know that
we're going to be able to draw down those troops. Send them to Afghanistan,
not specifically that--those striker brigades or those troops. We'll have
more resources to be able to put into Afghanistan, and start what I believe,
and what I believe our commanders have referred to also as, the principles
of a surge there also in Afghanistan, in a counter-insurge [sic] strategy
that should work.
Not specifically the cookie cutter approach that had been used in Iraq,
because conditions are so different, of course in Afghanistan. But, the
principles, we're going to be able to do that with more resources and
literally, more troops.
CAMERON: Folks said, wow, that was like Sarah barracuda out there last
night. Because it was back and forth and you were taking on Joe Biden. Do
you think you surprised him by the way in which you were prepared to sort of
go after his record and Obama's?
What was the body language and the psychology between the two of you on
that? Because he was sighing a lot. And some folks thought that you kind of
exasperated him.
PALIN: Well, again, at least my sort of view was, it was pleasant.
And it was a lot of fun.
But, there just wasn't enough time either. Ninety minutes in a debate sounds
like that's going to be a heck of a lot of time to get a lot of words in and
countering each other's records. And there wasn't enough time to go through
everything that I wanted to go through.
Because 35 years in the Senate, he has a record. He's got that voting
record. I think it really shows Americans that a very, very left-leaning
liberal ticket -- he is the third most liberal senator, as National Review
will report. And Obama, as the most liberal senator--that that ticket, a lot
of the reflection of the voting record shows us why that they are considered
the most liberal ticket, probably ever.
There just wasn't enough time to go through the voting records that prove
that. And you know, I wished that I'd have more opportunity to do that.
CAMERON: One of the things you talked about last night was the flexibility
that the vice presidency has.
PALIN: Yes.
CAMERON: What do you mean by that?
PALIN: That thankfully, our founders were wise enough to say, we have this
position and it's Constitutional. Vice president[s] will be able to be not
only the position flexible, but it's going to be sort of this other duty as
assigned by the president. It's a simple thing. I don't think that was a
gaff at all in stating what the truth is.
And that is we've got flexibility in the position. The president will be
directing in a lot of respects what the vice president does. The vice
president, of course, is not a member -- or a part of the legislative
branch, except to oversee the Senate. That alone provides a tremendous
amount of flexibility and authority if that vice president so chose to use
it.
CAMERON: One of the criticisms of Vice President Cheney is that he has
expanded the power and influence of the office and that during the
Bush/Cheney presidency, the power of the executive has been a expanded
beyond perhaps that which is good for a country that wants to make sure that
we don't have an imperial presidency.
Would you change any of that, do you have any differences with that of the
Bush/Cheney administration in terms of the power of the executive?
PALIN: Well, again, as I tried to explain last night, our executive branch
will know what our job is. We have the three very distinct branches of
government. You know, we might be bleeding our authority over to the
Legislative or Judicial branch to do our job in the Executive branch as
administers.
CAMERON: OK. A couple questions about past interviews.
PALIN: Yes.
CAMERON: This morning -- last night, when you were in the Spin Room and
people came flowing in there. And one of the questions that a lot of folks
said was, OK, where was the Governor Palin and Katie Couric interview that
just debated and arguably defeated Joe Biden in a vice presidential debate.
There's been some criticism, as I know you know. What happened? Go ahead --
PALIN: Well, OK. I'll tell you. Honestly. The Sarah Palin in those
interviews is a little bit annoyed. Because it's like, man--no matter what
you say, you're going to get clobbered. If you cease to answer a question,
you're going to get clobbered on the answer. If you choose to try to pivot
and go on to another subject that you believe that Americans want to hear
about, you get clobbered for that, too.
But, in those Katie Couric interviews, I did feel that there were a lot of
things that she was missing, in terms of an opportunity to ask what a V.P.
candidate stands for. What the values are represented in our ticket.
I wanted to talk about Barack Obama increasing taxes, which would lead to
killing jobs. I wanted to talk about his proposal to increase government
spending by another trillion dollars. Some of the comments he's made about
the war that I think make my world -- disqualify someone from consideration
as the next commander in chief. Some of the comments that he's made about
Afghanistan, what we're doing there, supposably, just air raiding villages
and killing civilians. That's reckless and I want to talk about things like
that.
So, I guess I have to apologize for being a bit annoyed. But, that's also an
indication of being outside of that Washington elite, outside of the media
elite, also. And just getting to talk to Americans without the filters and
let them know what we stand for.
CAMERON: OK. So, at the risk of annoying you, when you are asked, what do
you read? Which papers and magazines? You didn't answer it.
Or, you said, I have all kinds of resources.
PALIN: Right, right, right.
CAMERON: Well, what do you read?
PALIN: I read the same things that other people across the country read,
including the "New York Times" and the "Wall Street Journal" and the
"Economist" and some of these publications that we've recently even been
interviewed through up there in Alaska.
Because, of everything that we're doing with oil and gas, a lot of the
investment publications especially are interviewing us, asking us how are
being so successful up there in contributing to our nation's step towards
energy independence.
CAMERON: Sure.
PALIN: So, my response to her. I guess it was kind of flippant. But, I was
sort of taken aback, like, the suggestion was, you're way up there in a far
away place in Alaska. You know, that there are publications in the rest of
the world that are read by many. And I was taken aback by that because I
don't know, the suggestion that this was a little bit of perhaps we're not
in tune with the rest of the world.
CAMERON: Well, the idea's not to be dodging the questions. But, you've heard
the question already from Katie, about Supreme Court decisions that you
disagree with.
PALIN: Oh, yes.
CAMERON: But, as a conservative, there are some in the Republican Party who
would expect a vice presidential nominee to understand judicial
conservatives and to have something that they might object to.
PALIN: And that's fair. Right. And on that one, truly I shouldn't have been
so flippant and just sort of brushed aside that because that was an
important question and I should have answered it.
And yes, I can cite a lot of cases that I absolutely disagree with the
Supreme Court on.
CAMERON: Is there one particularly? Or a couple, or something that –
PALIN: A couple.
CAMERON: -- exemplifies or illustrates what your sort of judicial philosophy
would be?
PALIN: Sure. A recent one, Kennedy versus Louisiana, where the Supreme Court
will tell a state that they can't impose the death penalty, even on heinous
(ph) crime of repeat child rapists. That a state, its rights are taken away
by the Supreme Court and we would not be able to decide for ourselves
whether the death penalty in a case like that should be implemented or not.
That one -- I'm certainly not a supporter of that decision. The Kelo case
also, with imminent domain. That affects me, as a governor. It affected me
as a mayor, also. Part that property rights are so precious in this nation
and for the Supreme Court to have sided with government, instead of the
people, the property owners on that.
That was frustrating.
And then another one personally affected me, also. The Exxon-Valdez oil
spill. Deciding what the oil company, as they decimated Alaska's coastline
and much of our fisheries and much of our coastal communities livelihoods --
the people who live there. And they sided with Exxon on the punishment, the
punitive damage that was to be awarded. Exxon won on that one in a sense
that –

*Palin Doesn't Want War with the Media* (FNC 10/03/08 6:16pm)
PALIN: That would be the worst strategy ever that I could think of. And I
have a journalism degree, so I know how you guys work, also.
I'll tell you, what I used to do is commit to not being so annoyed and
impatient with mainstream media. And I will make that commitment because I
do understand that that is how I speak to the American people in a position
like this. I speak to you and through you and that way, that message is
received by American people.
So, I apologize for the flippant response that I gave through that interview
on a couple of questions. I'm going to try harder. But, I would ask also
then, that the media tries a little bit harder also.

*Tucker Bounds Says McCain's Healthcare Plan Will do "Wonders for the Middle
Class"; Obama's a Liar *(MSNBC 10/03/08 03:39pm)
TUCKER BOUNDS: *John McCain's healthcare plan would effectively do wonders
for the middle class*. What it would do is give 5000 dollars directly to
families to shop for their own healthcare, the market will become more
competitive, you'll have more accessibility, you'd have more affordability.
Healthcare would get better, it will be more accessible to middle class,
expressly a better plan. I think that what he's doing, not only with those
remarks but what his campaign is doing, is advertising in complete
falsehoods. They've said that John McCain wants to tax healthcare, it is a
100% lie. This is the sort of stuff we're dealing with this campaign, I
think it speaks to the dishonesty of the candidate we oppose and I think
that's why the American taxpayer cant trust Barack Obama when he's talking
about expanding the government by a trillion dollars, not expanding their
taxes when he has a record of voting for higher taxes. You know ultimately
this race is gonna be about credibility and Barack Obama's short on it.

*Olbermann compares Palin to Bush in 2000 election debates *(MSNBC 10/03/08
08:21pm)
KEITH OLBERMANN: … Palin brought a folksy, outside the Beltway style to the
debates that the pundits, politicians and voters across the America just
have not seen before. Or have they? Palin spoke consistently about herself
and McCain as "mavericks", as part of a veritable army of mavericks working
together in lock step, the way mavericks do. And especially about herself as
a Washington outsider who can bring real reform to Washington, openly
stating that the Bush administration made mistakes, blunders she said,
something other republicans are reluctant to do, unless they too are up for
election.
[…]
[Palin clip]
Using bipartisan reform to get the job done to get results. Reformer with
results. Not exactly a typical Republican campaign theme but the kind of
thing Washington hasn't seen in a long time. In fact in spite of her self
portrait as a Washington neophyte qualified to clean to town up by virtue of
her outsider, cowboy status… she signed up for GOPAC training. GOPAC, Newt
Gingrich's former group to train new Republican politicians around the
country to carry water for GOPACs Republican establishment agenda. *And so
while Governor Plain spent much of the debate claiming that she represents a
change from the Washington of George W. Bush, she marches in lock-step with
his policies and outlook.*
