Let's start with something simple: how do you plan on maintaining our alliance with Great Britain on Iraq even though support for the war there is at an all-time low? Sarah Palin:
I think the United States has always maintained a great relationship with the Queen, and John McCain will continue to have an open dialogue with her. Steve Schmidt:

Um, Governor, the Queen is not the head of government in England, she's the head of state. Sarah Palin:
Well, then who's the head of government? Steve Schmidt:
