I didn't have a special secret about Sarah Palin. I just had a feeling and some concerns. Her blank stares and her lashing out in some interviews, I think, gave voters pause about her, too.

Women want to get to know Sarah Palin. And they want to meet her family.

I myself have raised plenty of questions about Sarah Palin, much to the annoyance of the McCain campaign. But those questions have been about her qualifications and experience, never her appearance.

If ever there were a candidate destined to shine on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show,' Sarah Palin would be that woman.

Oprah has this intense curiosity that I haven't found with any interviewer.

Sarah Palin is treated like a bimbo sometimes, but she has never given the public the respect they deserve. She acts silly and doesn't know stuff. She didn't even finish her term.

Any party that would put Sarah Palin up on a pedestal will never have my support.

I was not going to attack Palin just for being a woman appealing for support from other women.

I think there are a lot of outside interests that would like to see Sarah Palin in some form of elected office. Most in Alaska recognize our former governor is really not involved in or engaged in the state anymore, that she's moved to other interests.
