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.
Everybody wants to do 'The View.' It's this iconic show. When I worked at the White House, I used to watch the beginning to see what they were talking about. If a political topic was on their radar, I used it as ammunition with the president or the White House staff.
During the day, I don't read too much of the blog traffic, but then at night, I read transcripts of all of the network packages, and then I watch the wires and some of the political blogs.
There are probably many, many people who are better writers than me.
The two pillars of winning the presidency are being a strong leader and being someone who understands us and our problems.
Sometimes with the Palins, it's exactly what it looks like.
Republicans have said much worse things about me than any Democrat ever has.
I never really thought that anyone thought there was just one kind of Republican woman.
I like and respect Elisabeth Hasselbeck so much. I'm from a political party that represents half the country.
I don't think that a woman in politics exists or thrives on her own.
I am not someone who throws around the word 'self-esteem.' It is a fictional description.
A lot of newsrooms have thought very carefully about how they cover race. I don't think the same conversations have gone on regarding women.
A life in politics is for people who know themselves and know where their own line is between loyalty and honesty.
I think politics is like an X-ray machine: Everything is found out eventually.
