Palin Endorses Ted Stevens Energy Plan

Sarah Palin shows respect for indicted Senator Ted Stevens. Gov. Sarah Palin then endorses Stevens' energy plan and stresses strong relationship with him.

SARAH PALIN: Im on the clock and were in a Federal building, so want to talk about campaigns or endorsements, all that comes later. But I support the Senators proposals here and his passion to again allow Alaska be heard and to lead with an American energy policy that I believe has been sorely lacking and it is time to step up, work together. Others are looking to us to see how we are going to work together through this energy crisis and from here forward so Im honored to get to be here. []

TED STEVENS: [] I dont really object to the comments made about my earmarks, I think that you know theyre part of a period of need. Im not sure with the money coming in to the state I dont think were going to get many earmarks in the future. We developed our earmarks in a period of need and found a way to bring these federal agencies in here. [] As far as getting along, hell, I dont know if you know it when Frank Murkowski was first elected this lady and I and the Mayor of [inaudible] traveled around the state for two weeks. Weve known each other and worked together for a long time. I never had an animosity towards the two of us at all. []

PALIN: I have great respect for the Senator and he needs to be heard across America. His voice, his experience, his passion, needs to be heard across America so that Alaska can contribute more. So we can producers, so that we can help lead the rest of the U.S. I again have great respect for him and I theres a big difference between reality and perception regarding our relationship.

STEVENS: This is the first edition of the Sarah and Ted show. I hope it will continue.
