Palin's Lost Concession Speech

Book reveals what McCain wouldn't let America hear

Share

(Newser) – 'Twas a year ago tomorrow that John McCain’s team forbade Sarah Palin from delivering a concession speech, and a new book, Sarah From Alaska, gives you the chance to finally find out what she planned to say. Some highlights, from the Daily Beast:

  • “It would be a happier night if elections were a test of valor and merit alone, but that is not for us to question now.

  • "I will remember all the people who said they were praying for me—you prayer warriors have been my strength and my shield.
  • “I told my husband Todd to look at the upside: Now, at least, he can clear his schedule, and get ready for championship title number five in the Iron Dog snow machine race!
  • “If [Obama] governs America with the skill and grace we have often seen in him, and the greatness of which he is capable, we’re gonna be just fine.”

She's a "Conservative Superstar"? Makes you wonder just how easy it is to become popular in the GOP these days. Just go to 5 schools to get one degree (journalism), rant and rave about nothing, smile, never speak off the cuff (cause you can't), take a couple of photo ops with your five kids (to make it look like you're a real mom), and tell everyone you won't raise taxes. Instant GOP superstar!

Too bad they didn't let her give the speech. SNL would have had a lot of fun:-) This reads like a concession speech for prom queen not VP of the United States. Reply
