- guelo 16y agoActual quote, http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/Story?id=5782924&page=2 http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/Story?id=5782924&...: GIBSON: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you? PALIN: They're our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska. GIBSON: What insight does that give you into what they're doing in Georgia? PALIN: Well, I'm giving you that perspective of how small our world is and how important it is that we work with our allies to keep good relation with all of these countries, especially Russia. We will not repeat a Cold War. We must have good relationship with our allies, pressuring, also, helping us to remind Russia that it's in their benefit, also, a mutually beneficial relationship for us all to be getting along.

- anamax 16y agoYup, and what she said was true. The riff, not so much. Governors do deal with neighboring countries and states. What part of that do you find scorn-worthy? Senators may be asked by the president to deal with other countries but have no formal role in foreign policy beyond voting on legislation and overseeing the state department.
