• “She is an icon, and set her herself up to be such a women’s rights and women’s issues person. To have the first vice president of our lifetime on the Republican ticket being a woman and to sit it out regardless of what her personal political beliefs were was disingenuous, we felt.”—Cindy Graves, First Vice President of the Florida Federation of Republican WomenFox News: Boycotts ‘Oprah’ (September 10, 2008)

• “There has been absolutely no discussion about having Sarah Palin on my show. At the beginning of this presidential campaign when I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates. I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over.”—Oprah WinfreyFox News: Boycotts ‘Oprah’ (September 10, 2008)
