I was very inspired by the videos of the crowds at the Palin rallies.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Attending a Sarah Palin rally was simultaneously one of the strangest and most chilling events of my life.
I'm so grateful to Ms. Palin and all the people who've endorsed me.
I have repeatedly said, when asked, that if the stories about me helped inspired our troops and rally a nation, then perhaps there was some good.
I know what motivated you was not just a political campaign. It was your love of our country.
Sarah Palin is brilliant. She is a media magnet and a media magnate. She creates headlines and draws crowds wherever she goes, whether it's 98 degrees in the desert of Arizona or below freezing in the snow of Wisconsin.
I am so inspired by the people watching my videos and responding to them. I have learned so much from my community over the years and always love reading their feedback and their own personal stories that they share with me.
There was a time when I was enamored of the Clintons. I knocked on doors, phone-banked and rallied during his campaign.
Sometimes with the Palins, it's exactly what it looks like.
Seeing Michelle Obama's bright color choices, and how she made people smile and reinforced Obama's platforms of hope and change, was inspiring.
I was driven to give the best possible performance I could based on the material that was given to me and that material was documentary footage of the President speaking to people.
