The article I chose was in USA Today and it was an article about Sara Palin and her actions with the media post election. This article however did not mention anything about her book that she is supposedly going to write, or any of the other rumors about her commentary abut the past election. Mainly the article speaks about her comments made in her first speech since losing the election. Palin praised Sen. John McCain and wished Obama well in her few opening statements. She also stated about president elect Obama “if he governs with the skill and the grace and the greatness of which he is capable, we’re going to be just fine, and as he prepares to fill the office of Washington and Lincoln, know that this is a shining moment in American history.” She later spoke about her opinion on what direction her party should take. In the article Palin states that her defeated party must return to core GOP values, such as limited government and personal freedom. Which is a sign of her returning to her very conservative views that she had once maintained before she began running for the white house with John McCain. She later emphasized this again by saying “the Washington values displayed by our national leaders simply don’t reflect the values of the Republican Party.” I feel that these first speeches by Palin show what is to come in the future of her political career. It seemed to me that she is trying to show how much she intends to move back to her pre campaign views of conservatism.
