The transcript:

COURIC: What other Supreme Court decisions [than Roe v. Wade] do you disagree with?

PALIN: Well, let’s see. There’s –of course –in the great history of America rulings there have been rulings, that’s never going to be absolute consensus by every American. And there are–those issues, again, like Roe v Wade where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So you know–going through the history of America, there would be others but–

COURIC: Can you think of any?

PALIN: Well, I could think of–of any again, that could be best dealt with on a more local level. Maybe I would take issue with. But you know, as mayor, and then as governor and even as a Vice President, if I’m so privileged to serve, wouldn’t be in a position of changing those things but in supporting the law of the land as it reads today.

All Flap knows is that he is not very optimistic about tomorrow night’s debate. But, Flap has been wrong before.

It is do or die for Sarah Palin tomorrow night. She either acquits herself of this inability to answer these questions and moves on to become a national political star or she fades away as a footnote in history.

Update:

But, then again, THIS Sarah Palin as in her Alaska Governor’s debates could show up tomorrow night:

About damn time Team McCain allows Sarah Palin be Sarah Palin.

In the meantime, McCain-Palin has fallen in the polls among women voters.

Flap remembers the first debate between President Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale when Reagan’s handlers so stuffed the President with facts and figures he looked uncharacteristically wooden. He was not himself. The same could be said of Palin with her Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric interviews.

Tomorrow night’s debate will be crucial for the GOP to get Palin back on track and on message.

Flap previously debunked this outright LIE by Democrat operatives earlier but there is more – Sarah Palin’s outright denial.

Key Graph from the Frontiersman:

Gov. Sarah Palin, the GOP vice presidential nominee, agreed to a request by her hometown newspaper, the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman, for an interview by providing written responses via e-mail to the following questions.

The responses here were not edited and are preceded by the verbatim questions posed to her.

• 6. During your tenure as mayor in 2000, then police chief Charlie Fannon commented in a May 23, 2000 Frontiersman article about legislation Gov. Tony Knowles signed protecting victims of sexual assault from being billed for rape kits collected by police as part of their investigations. Fannon revealed then that Knowles’ decision would cost Wasilla $5,000 to $14,000 a year, insinuating that the department’s policy was to bill victims for this testing. During your tenure as Mayor, what was the police department and city’s standard operating procedure in recovering costs of rape kits? Were any sexual assault victims ever charged for this testing while you were mayor?

• Sarah Palin’s answer: “The entire notion of making a victim of a crime pay for anything is crazy.  I do not believe, nor have I ever believed, that rape victims should have to pay for an evidence-gathering test. As governor, I worked in a variety of ways to tackle the problem of sexual assault and rape, including making domestic violence a priority of my administration.”

Sarah Palin has now addressed the issue head on. The left can either prove her a liar or shut the frak up.

Flap bets it won’t be that easy as does Rusty.
