Inexplicable: I recently won in court to stop my book "America by Heart" from being leaked, but US Govt can't stop Wikileaks' treasonous act?

I believe that there is great hope and great potential for every country to be able to live and be protected with inalienable rights that I believe are God-given.

We need independents, we need the GOP, we need Reagan Democrats.

To the families of special needs children all across this country I have a message for you: for years you have sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters, and I pledge to you that if we're elected, you will have a friend, an advocate, in The White House.

When I took my oath of office to serve as your Governor, remember, I swore to steadfastly and doggedly guard the interests of this great state like a grizzly with cubs, as a mother naturally guards her own. Alaska, as a statewide family, we've got to fight for each other, not against and not let external, sensationalized distractions draw us off course. As an exciting year of unpredictable change begins, we, too, have our work cut out for us. And we're all in this together. Just like our musk ox, they circle up to protect their future when they are challenged. We've got to do the same.

I think on a national level your Department of Law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out.

For a season, a gifted speaker can inspire with his words, but for a lifetime John McCain has inspired with his deeds.
