KTUU interview with Sarah Palin, Part 1

Anchorage television station KTUU, where Sarah Palin got her start as a sportscaster, recently interviewed the former Alaska governor while on board the Going Rogue tour bus as it made its way across Indiana. Here's an excerpt:

Channel 2 News: "What would you do (with AGIA) if you were still governor?"

Sarah Palin: "We need to remind the lawmakers of their enthusiasm and that overwhelming support to get this gas line off the dime, the project. Other administrations, they've been talking about it for decades in Alaska; we know that there is the need. And Alaska has the ability now to get the thing built. We have a great partner in TransCanada Alaska (and) Exxon, (the) largest company in the world wanting to partner with the best pipeline building company in the world."

"There is nothing wrong with the proposal, we can sit around and keep talking about it, but Alaskans are expecting that their lawmakers remember what they voted for, remember all the hard work that lawmakers put into crafting the bill with the administration and adopting it, and let's move forward. Otherwise, we're just going to be like any other decade in Alaska when we're just talking the talk thinking that at some point this dream of a gas line will be built. That's ridiculous because we have the tool already in AGIA to actually, physically get the thing done."
