Sarah Palin Speech Preview

From the Drudge Report:

Excerpts: Remarks by Alaska Governor Sarah Palin
Vice Presidential Nominee to Address the 2008 Republican National Convention
Wed Sep 03 2008 19:12:27 ET

SAINT PAUL, Minn. – This evening Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican Party’s vice presidential nominee, will address the 2008 Republican National Convention. Excerpts from the governor’s remarks:

On her experience as a public servant:

“I had the privilege of living most of my life in a small town. I was just your average hockey mom, and signed up for the PTA because I wanted to make my kids’ public education better. When I ran for city council, I didn’t need focus groups and voter profiles because I knew those voters, and knew their families, too. Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown. And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves. I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.”

On why she is going to Washington, D.C.:

“I’m not a member of the permanent political establishment. And I’ve learned quickly, these past few days, that if you’re not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone. But here’s a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion – I’m going to Washington to serve the people of this country.”

On energy policies that the McCain-Palin administration will implement:

“Our opponents say, again and again, that drilling will not solve all of America’s energy problems – as if we all didn’t know that already. But the fact that drilling won’t solve every problem is no excuse to do nothing at all. Starting in January, in a McCain-Palin administration, we’re going to lay more pipelines…build more nuclear plants…create jobs with clean coal…and move forward on solar, wind, geothermal, and other alternative sources. We need American energy resources, brought to you by American ingenuity, and produced by American workers.”

On John McCain:

“Here’s how I look at the choice Americans face in this election. In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.”

GOP Women Come to Palin’s Defense:

GOP women come to Palin’s defense
By RYAN GRIM
The Politico
9/3/08

ST. PAUL, Minn. — As the culture war surrounding Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin escalates, a group of leading Republican women accused the media Wednesday of sexist “smears” against John McCain’s running mate.

“The Republican Party will not stand by while Gov. Palin is subjected to sexist attacks,” said Carly Fiorina, a McCain aide who formerly headed Hewlett-Packard. “I don’t believe American women are going to stand for it either.”

“We want to call attention to the outrageous smear campaign against Sarah Palin,” said former Massachusetts Gov. Jane Swift. Pressed after the event to single out specific smears driven by the mainstream media, she said that there “were lots of folks chasing that story” ignited by rumors on liberal blogs about whether Palin had faked her most recent pregnancy. Swift called media inquiries about the rumors “out of bounds.”

The GOP women spoke often and respectfully of Hillary Clinton — a Democrat who has been bitterly opposed over the years by Republican faithful — repeatedly accusing the media of sexist attacks against her and faulting Democrats for failing to defend her.

Renee Amore, the deputy chairman of the Pennsylvania Republican Party, was the most blunt. “The Democrats will let you [in the media] talk about Hillary as you did in a very demeaning way, but . . . we’re not going to allow you to do that,” she said, warning reporters to stop “messing with us.”

For cornerback Josh Wilson, the best part about joining the Baltimore Ravens had nothing to do with the team's playoff potential or the proximity to his alma mater, the University of Maryland. "Being here and being at home is definitely No. 2," Wilson said Friday. "No. 1 is having a pass rush and a front seven that is amazing.

Reason for concerns: AFC North (SportingNews.com)
A capsule look at reasons for concern among teams in the AFC North: Baltimore Ravens 1. An offensive line in flux. There is no timeframe when RT Jared Gaither will return from a back injury. The top backup, Oniel Cousins, has missed substantial practice time with a concussion and was inconsistent when healthy. The coaches probably will move RG Marshal Yanda to tackle and insert backup C Chris Chester at right guard. That leaves this unit with little depth.

Ravens Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Expectations have only been raised for the Baltimore Ravens this preseason.

Quarterback Joe Flacco has had a strong preseason, completing 61 percent of his passes and throwing three touchdowns (a rating of 90.9).

Baltimore's starting defense didn't allow a touchdown in three preseason games.

"Anything less than a Super Bowl win, really, is a disappointment to us," wide receiver Derrick Mason said.

"I think we've done more than enough over the last three years to put ourselves in a position to win a championship. To do all we've done and not come out of this thing with a championship would be disheartening."

Most of the excitement has been generated by the Ravens offense.

The Ravens bolstered themselves at wide receiver by trading for Anquan...

"Rashard Mendenhall will absolutely be key for them early," Cowher said.

Bradford strengthened his case to be the No. 1 in Week 1 with another strong performance at home, going 6-for-6 on a touchdown drive in his only series against the Baltimore Ravens. Colt McCoy, Cleveland Browns Perhaps buoyed by assurances he would make the Browns' 53-man roster, McCoy shook off three shaky stints...

Steelers, Ben Roethlisberger await suspension decision (SportingNews.com)
Pittsburgh Steelers fans have seen the last of Ben Roethlisberger for a while. The question of how long -- six games, four games, or three -- will be answered by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, perhaps as soon as today. The spotlight now is on Roethlisberger's replacement. While coach Mike Tomlin was expected to name seventh-year veteran Byron Leftwich as the stand-in during Roethlisberger's suspension, that plan likely will have to be scrapped.
