From Kyle Hopkins in Anchorage --

Back in September of last year, we ran a three-part series of reporter Tom Kizzia's interview with Gov. Sarah Palin. Check them out:

Here's Part One.

And Part Two.

And Part Three.

Here's an excerpt ...

ADN: There's even talk out there of your being a potential vice presidential nominee. Have you ever actually imagined running for federal office?

PALIN: Um, haven't really contemplated that. And I am very realistic. I know that the state of Alaska could be and should be contributing to the United States much more so than we are today. We could be helping the United States. I think I can help do that as governor.

ADN: How about in the future, could you imagine running, say, for Congress?

PALIN: That would all depend on the kids' situation, how they were doing and if they blessed such a move, but today, I'm not contemplating that, no.

ADN: Anything within this term of office?

PALIN: Something very, very, very drastic would have had to have happened to get me to think along those lines because, again, I feel that I certainly have a responsibility and an obligation that I will be fulfilling. That is putting my name on the dotted line to serve as governor for four years; that's what I believe I should be doing.
