Sarah Palin will apparently address the questions about her experience as a public servant with the following words:

I had the privilege of living most of my life in a small town. I was just your average hockey mom, and signed up for the PTA because I wanted to make my kids’ public education better. When I ran for city council, I didn’t need focus groups and voter profiles because I knew those voters, and knew their families, too. Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown. And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves. I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.

Zing ..,,

This is a direct swipe at the Democratic Nominee for President, Barack Obama, whose resume lists 'community organizer' as one of his many accomplishments.

Ms. Palin will apparently address the media and the commentators discussions about her qualifications with the following:

I’m not a member of the permanent political establishment. And I’ve learned quickly, these past few days, that if you’re not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone. But here’s a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion - I’m going to Washington to serve the people of this country.

From these two short excerpts of what will undoubtedly be at least a 15 minute speech, it would appear that Sarah Palin is not going to sit back and let all comers have a go at her without giving out a few jabs of her own.

Another one was just added that I personally also like, when talking about voting for John McCain this coming November:

Here’s how I look at the choice Americans face in this election. In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.
