People Magazine grabbed an interview with the McCains and Palins backstage after today's announcement of Gov. Sarah Palin to be McCain's vice-presidential running mate choice. A few excerpts:
Mr. Palin, what does Sen. McCain need to know about working with your wife?
TODD PALIN: She's a hard worker and she's not wired normal. (Laughter)
Do you feel ready to be a heartbeat away from the presidency?
SARAH: Absolutely. Yup, yup. Especially with a good team around us.
Gov. Palin, when you were 13 weeks pregnant, last December, you had an amniocentesis that determined Trig had Down syndrome.
SARAH: I was grateful to have all those months to prepare. I can't imagine the moms that are surprised at the end. I think they have it a lot harder. (more . . .)
On another site someone left an insightful comment:
To
those saying Sarah Palin is a heartbeat away from the Presidency, not
quite. She is an election and a heartbeat away. Barack Obama is only an
election away. . .
