Updated: Katie's Interview With Sarah Palin
This morning, Katie sat down with Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin in New York. In the exclusive interview, Katie asked her a wide range of questions on foreign policy and the current economic situation. You can read the full transcript right here, or check out some highlights below.
Sarah Palin: The interesting thing in the last couple of days that I have seen is that Americans are waiting to see what John McCain will do on this proposal. They’re not waiting to see what Barack Obama is going to do. Is he going to do this and see what way the political wind’s blowing. They’re waiting to see if John McCain will be able to see these amendments implemented in Paulson’s proposal.
Katie Couric: If this doesn't pass, do you think there's a risk of another Great Depression?
Palin: Unfortunately, that is the road that America may find itself on. Not necessarily this, as it's been proposed, has to pass or we're gonna find ourselves in another Great Depression. But there has to be action taken, bipartisan effort – Congress not pointing fingers at this point at … one another, but finding the solution to this, taking action and being serious about the reforms on Wall Street that are needed.

See all 467 CommentsBecause Palin is so charismatic. Maccain needs to permit her to spar with the media and prove she is intelligent and informed.
Lets find out once and for all how she handles the New York media.
Yikes!
any question
Obama replies
Duh uh uhm, you see um duh Hope uh uh change.
Obamam is the second dumbest guy in the Senate next to Biden
People are missing the point on these UN meetings. Gov. Palin is speaking to these foreign leaders for a lot more than the 23 seconds that the press pool is allowed to listen in. She spent ALL DAY YESTERDAY AND ALL DAY TODAY . . speaking, and getting Zardari was GUSHING OVER HER AND SAID HE UNDERSTOOD WHY AMERICA WAS SO IN LOVE WITH HER!!! It''s not about the angry liberal press getting the story. The McCain campaign is absolutely right to leave you all out of the meetings! She''ll say the sky is partly cloudy and you''ll have a weather guy say she''s wrong, it''s partly sunny and it''ll be broadcast as worse than when Biden asked a man in a wheel chair to stand up! She''s classy & the world loves her. Get used to it! She''s going to be the next VP!
Question: Why does the GOP substitute strong, intelligent women for programmable stepford wives who say "we can''t blink" ten times in a row?
Moose in the headlights. With lipstick. Maybe Jesus will return and straighten this mess out. She expects to see him in her lifetime.

How an anyone with half a brain think this is correct? idiots.
Proud WASP (Women Against Sarah Palin)
Oh really? Apparently you have never heard Senator Biden pontificate errrr, I mean speak. When he is actually using his own material and thoughts, as opposed to inserting himself into the heroic life story of a British politician instead, he is long winded and never really says anything. Biden will use 10,000 words to avoid answering a question rather than simply answering it. The American people will quickly tune out Professor Biden but they will likely remember what Palin has to say because 1) she has a personality and 2) she will actually answer questions in language that people will understand. Plus, Palin seems like she has a spine while Biden looks to be the typical pudgy, balding, pseudo-intellectual Eastern elitist snob that middle Americans just despise. No doubt the media elites, who everyone knows are in the tank for Obama and Biden anyway, will say that Biden trounced her in the debates no matter how foolish Biden looks but heartland Americans will know better.
If elected, we can expect to see more examples of how much he cares about us ordinary citizens.
Saying something like that (even if it isn''t an original thought) disqualifies you from any discussion on what is "classy." Deliciously ironic post, though. It seems liberals are VERY familiar with porn stars. Wonder why? ;-)
We all know who and what the GOP represents - it represents the racist stick the Democrats long-abandoned - that is the base of the GOP and there is no denying it. Big business gets the benefits, while the GOP tugs at the hate-strings to get votes. It happens over and over again.
McCain hired the same crew that smeared his family - can you really expect any *thinking* adult to vote for someone who throws away everything to become president?
Let''s NOT elect another "Ivey League" from EITHER party.....but sadly the liberal elitists who post on here think otherwise.
Am I the only one? How can Katie do this with a straight face? Is she....
The remarks about her unreadiness to be President are a mix of truth and BS. The same is true of Obama. But the over-shadowing difference between them is that she''s a woman.
It''s really hilarious to read what the liberal NOW-types have to say about her: family? God? guns? self-reliance? Hockey? Somehow, the liberal colleges of America have not prepared today''s young females for one of their own who doesn''t take her plays from the same playbook. How dare she?
So, she draws the bulk of comments about her from a basically sexist point of view -- including MOST sexist remarks by women, who should know better.
We''ve had quite a few men who became president with similar levels of experience, yet I don''t recall the comments about them being ill-prepared. Men like Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, and Bill Clinton come to mind.
And let''s not forget she is running for VP, not for the top spot. She''ll spin up to speed very quickly, as evidenced by how well she''s handled herself todate on the national stage.
Get used to her, libs. Looks like she is here to stay, one way or another.
Posted by homjett "I look forward to a race between Gov Palin an Hillary in four years."
Although it will be in 8 years after Obama''s 2nd term! =)
Post Turtle: Doubt any of you Libs. know what that means.
Makeitso: I don''t know, but I love your manolo blahniks. They''re to die for.
I hate to acknowledge that America today is a nation of elitist whose opinion is all ideals are all that matters. Palin represent the America I read about and lived as a child. And I was raised in an inner city.
Europeans have been fighting this war for centuries and now its apart of American culture. Barak Obama is in a close race because he is a collectives and leftist period. Recall Al Gore ran after two Clinton terms and he didn%u2019t run win because unlike Clinton he ran as a leftist. Obama attempted to mask his positions but now the mask is off and people even thought they want change are very concern about his leftist/collective agenda. Way to go Palin keeps on helping us typical Americans understand whom we are fighting.
