*"Nuclear" did not appear in the text the RNC released of her speech, but astute listener Tom Music says otherwise.  We'll go to the video tape when it's available...

UPDATE: The reason I was unable to find the word "nuclear" in the text the RNC released is because they did not spell it correctly.  They spelled it phonetically:

Starting in January, in a McCain-Palin administration, we're going to lay more pipelines ... build more new-clear plants... create jobs with clean coal... and move forward on solar, wind, geothermal, and other alternative sources.

And later:

Terrorist states are seeking new-clear weapons without delay ... he wants to meet them without preconditions.

"New" and "clear" certainly have more pleasant connotations than "nuclear."

  3. CSPAN ran the 2006 Alaska Gov. debate. The reason they spelled out "new-clear" for her was evident from that debate.....she said NUCULAR, just like Bush. They wanted to make sure they couldn't use that against her. She's also on that tape supporting the "bridge to nowhere."

  6. "Thanks but no thanks on that bridge to nowhere" was said about 7 times in all of her speeches, in various stops on her campaign.

    Bish can't even think of something to say, and it's been like a week of her being nominated. Se makes me completely satisfied holding the keys to our cities, especially when she holds a high-powered rifle in her hand. *Eyes roll*

  7. Wasn't this spelling perhaps to make sure that Gov. Palin didn't mispronounce the word nuclear, as so many politicians do (Presidents Bush and, embarrassingly, Carter, both say "new-queue-lar")? Is the transcript from the teleprompter, perhaps? Anyway, the absence of either nuclear power or nuclear weapons in her speech is so far from being the most offensive thing about her that it doesn't deserve a mention! Her "hockey Mom" joke is right up there at the top of my list! It's so artificial--assuming there is a generalized notion of what a hockey mom would be--and so cutesy--talking about "hockey moms" in an ostensibly serious speech in the first place, that it made her speech sound like a business dinner speech or a bridesmaid bacheloret party toast. Oh brave new world that has such people in it!
