I think a lot of people are capitalizing, perhaps exploiting, what was done via me, my family, my administration.

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.

Rain is something the democrats use to sell umbrellas.

I am all for contraception. And I am all for preventative measures that are legal and safe, and should be taken.

With so much at stake in this election, both Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan should 'go rogue.'

Folks, this government isn't too big to fail, it's too big to succeed.

The response to my op-ed by global warming alarmists has been interesting. Former Vice President Al Gore has called me a "denier" and informs us that climate change is "a principle in physics. It's like gravity. It exists." Perhaps he's right. Climate change is like gravity - a naturally occurring phenomenon that existed long before, and will exist long after, any governmental attempts to affect it.
