Esquire: Finally, Truth About Palins

Finally, Esquire has produced a story that tells the true story of who the Palins are and how they live. Frankly, it's the kind of story we've never heard about the Obamas -- and probably never will. The Esquire articles and photographs give us an insight about exactly how remarkable the Palins are -- and what kind of life they live. So, run, don't walk to your nearest magazine store and buy a copy of the current Esquire. You won't regret it.

"Sarah Palin: What I've Learned"


On the McCain Campaign Pulling Out of States Like Michigan . . .

We pulled out of some states that I believe we should have continued to campaign in and sent a stronger message that those states really mattered, regardless of the number of electoral votes there. The people mattered. I would have loved to have had more influence on where it was that we campaigned. "

On Why She Likes to Go Running . . .

"Running is my sanity. Sweat is my sanity. And that was a frustration of mine on the campaign trail, when we couldn't carve out a half an hour or an hour a day to run. The day never went as well as it would have had I had that time to go sweat."

On People Making the Claim that Sarah is "Hot"

"Hot? If only people could see me as I come in from a run early in the morning without a trough full of makeup on, I think that they'd have a different opinion."

On Unwinding After a Long Day . . .

"After a long day, if the weather's good, I like to take a long, hot run to unwind. Otherwise, lately, I take a bath with Trig, and I answer e-mails, and then we all fall asleep in my big bed while we listen to Piper read her Junie B. Jones books out loud. She's learning to read, and she'll read for hours on end. It's idyllic. It's amazing."

Sarh Palin on Bloggers and the Current World of Journalism . . .

"Bored, anonymous, pathetic bloggers who lie annoy me....I'll tell you, yesterday the Anchorage Daily News, they called again to ask — double-, triple-, quadruple-check — who is Trig's real mom. And I said, Come on, are you kidding me? We're gonna answer this? Do you not believe me or my doctor? And they said, No, it's been quite cryptic the way that my son's birth has been discussed. And I thought, Okay, more indication of continued problems in the world of journalism."

On Sarah's Relationship with God . . .

"I know He hears me when I just call out to Him, which I do a lot. Oh, yes, I pray. I talk to God every day. I've put my life, so I put my day, into God's hands, and I just ask for guidance and wisdom and grace to get through one situation after another."
