On election night, Sarah Palin threatened to “go rogue” by delivering a speech someone else wrote for her, but John McCain refused so she didn’t. Now you can read the addresses — both concession and victory — she would’ve given. The Daily Beast has an excerpt from Sarah from Alaska , a new Palin bio , with the speeches writer Matt Scully wrote for her on election night: A concession speech in which she lauded “black citizen” Barack Obama for winning, and a victory speech in which she announces that her husband will thenceforth be known as “the First Dude.” Reading the victory speech is chilling in a Man in the High Castle sort of way—what if McCain/Palin really did win the election, and we’re all just characters in a blog or something?
