hmm, did she also want to be a math whiz, a marathon runner...and a tree?

Sarah Palin: But also, Bristol, Connecticut, is the home of ESPN. And when I was in high school, my desire was to be a sportscaster. ESPN was just kicking off, just getting off the ground, and I thought that's what I was going to do in life, is be one of the first woman sportscasters. Until I learned that you'd have to move to Bristol, Connecticut. It was far away. So instead, I had a daughter and named her Bristol.

Bristol Mayor Art Ward: [It's probably for the best that Palin stayed in Alaska]. You can't see Russia from here.
