Sarah Palin Speaks Out on Oprah
Sarah Palin is back in the spotlight to promote her new book, Going Rogue, but oddly the most common person she is asked about isn't even named in the memoir — Levi Johnston!
"It's kind of heartbreaking to see the road he is on right now," Sarah told Oprah Winfrey of her daughter's baby daddy who just posed for Playgirl. Sarah said Levi hasn't seen his son Tripp in a while but that he is welcome at the family's Thanksgiving dinner. Whether he comes or not, Sarah said she continues "to pray for Levi."
The former Alaska governor and former Republican vice presidential candidate also opened up about having a child with Down's Syndrome. She said that when she found out Trig would have special needs, she began to understand why some women choose to have abortions but did not waiver in her pro-life stance. "There are less than ideal circumstances in our lives. It's how we will react to them," she said. "And make the most of what we've been given. What I have been given is a gift."
As for losing the election along with John McCain, Sarah doesn't blame herself. "The reason we lost is because the economy tanked," she said. "People were sincerely looking for change ... Our ticket was perceived as status quo."
Weigh In: Is Sarah more likeable now than when she was running for Vice President? Will you read her book?

She is smart, beautiful and she has charisma and that's why everyone is so jealous of her. It's sad how women don't stick together.

If Sarah Palin was all that she would have taken care of her daughter's whereabouts or atleast advise her of using protection when it came to sex, but I guess this is what happens when you are too busy working on things that don't get you anywhere, women with children should think about thwat is best for their future instead of being selfish.

A lot of the media is so scarred of Sarah Palin that they have kept her in the news just so that they could try and destroy her reputation. They print distortions because they realize she is actually a great lady. I wish news journalist would actually report the news instead of their opinions.

The baby is Bristol's and Levi's! Sarah is the grandmother. Morons. And when is Levi going to visit his child and fork over some child support??
-- Butch
The economy tanking was not the downfall of the Republican party. Their choice in Sarah Palin as the running mate is what did them in.
-- Key Mama
The reason the Left is so scared is that we've had 8 years of a moron for a president and there are actually people in this country that would like to see her as President. McCain would have won if he had the sense to pick a worthwhile running mate.

won't this nitwit go away??
can you imagine the calamity of her as Vice President?? -- SW |
