Phone interview with Anne Kilkenny, civic activist from Wasilla AK
Anne Kilkenny, a self-described "civic-minded resident" of Wasilla, AK since 1982, provided many insights about Governor Palin during a wide-ranging 90-minutes phone conversation.
After Governor Palin was announced at McCain's V.P. pick, Anne wrote a long email about Sarah Palin that went "viral" around the country.
One reason she did so is that she does not know anyone in the entire state of Alaska with whom the McCain campaign talked before picking Sarah Palin as his running mate.
-- Dr. Naomi Lichtenberg, Sept. 30, 2008
