Sarah Palin 2006 Alaska's Governor's Debate (Video)

Topics covered in the 10 minute video clip below include abortion, gay marriage and benefits for same-sex partners. Sarah Palin debated Independent Andrew Halcro and Democratic former Governor Tony Knowles in the 2006 Alaska Governor's Debate. She defeated incumbent Governor Murkowski (R-AK) in the primary and went on to win the general election.


MSNBC: "Sarah Palin faces the biggest test of her month-old candidacy with this Thursday's vice presidential debate, but many Republicans are already convinced the Alaska governor is not ready for prime time -- and may never be," the New York Daily News says.

Boston Globe: Given her already-mocked interview with Katie Couric of CBS News last week, some Republicans fear how she will fare in the unscripted forum of a debate.
