"As for that VP talk all the time, I'll tell you, I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day?" --interview on July 31, 2008, CNBC's "Kudlow & Company" (Watch video clip)
On Iraq: "I've been so focused on state government, I haven't really focused much on the war in Iraq. I heard on the news about the new deployments, and while I support our president, Condoleezza Rice, and the administration, I want to know that we have an exit plan in place." March 21, 2007, Alaska Business Monthly
On receiving $1.8 million in federal earmarks for the city of Wasilla: "FYI This does not include our nearly one million Dollars from the Feds for our Airport Paving Project. We did well!!!" --June 14, 1999, Wasilla City Council Informational Memorandum 99-62
On that "Bridge to Nowhere": Question: "Would you continue state funding for the proposed Knik Arm and Gravina Island bridges?"
Palin: "Yes. I would like to see Alaska's infrastructure projects built sooner rather than later. The window is now--while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist." --October 22, 2006, Anchorage Daily News

On being governor: "I will unambiguously, steadfastly, and doggedly guard the interests of this great state, as a mother naturally guards her own.

On the prospect of becoming a candidate for vice president: "It kind of cracks me up. It is so far out of the realm of possibility and reality."--August 14, 2008, Financial Post

To be fair, I am going to cite excerpts from Joe Biden's acceptance speech. Here are some of my favourites:
"Failure is inevitable but given up is unforgivable".
"What is important is not the road you travel but the choices you make down the road".
You will be knocked down but you should get back up".
Joe Biden's message resonates with me!
