Sarah Palin: Response to Vice President Biden's Comments Today About My Position On Energy Independence
As the vice president knows, I have always advocated an all-of-the-above approach to American Energy Independence. Among other things, my alternative Energy goal for Alaska sits at 50 percent because Alaska reached more than 20 percent during my term in office. The Obama-Biden administration, on the other hand, recently announced a renewable goal of only 25 percent. However, domestic drilling should remain a top priority in order to meet America's consumption and security needs. The vice...

NY-23: How Sarah Palin Stands to Win (and Charlie Crist Stands to Lose): PHOTO
Much has been made over the special election in New York's 23 rd Congressional District. For some, the attention might seem a bit much, given that it is merely one of 435 House seats. In reality, this race is about much more than one House seat. It is a proxy battle in the long-running war between establishment Republicans and grassroots conservatives. Although GOP candidate Dede Scozzafava endorsed the Democrat over Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman, after quitting the race with three...
