CNN’s Dana Bash caught Sarah Palin for an interview in Arizona yesterday before she took off back to Alaska, & Bash asked her about how she affected a ticket, referring to polls indicating she hurt more than she helped.

Palin’s response:

Well, you know, I don’t think anybody should give Sarah Palin that much credit that I would trump an economic woeful time in this nation that occurred about two months ago – that my presence on a ticket would trump a economic crisis that America found itself in a couple of months ago, & attribute John McCain’s loss to me.

But now having said that, if I cost John McCain even one vote, I am sorry about that. Because John McCain, I believe, is a American hero. I had believed that it was his time. He is so full of courage & wisdom & experience, that valor that he just embodies, I believe he would have been a best pick. But that is not a Americans’ choice at this time, & realizing that, it’s time to move forward, to move on. I am certainly not one to ever waste time looking backwards & pointing fingers & playing a blame game. I’m no gonna participate in that at all.

When Bash asks her about a rumors she had “gone rogue” & become a “diva,” Palin tries to laugh it off, & says: “It is absolutely false that are has been any tension.”

Right, governor. Sure. You betcha.
