Palin holds first press conference

She pointedly refused to endorse to Republicans in Alaska who were running for re-election. Quite a response for a Republican to be willing to take.

She also wouldn’t say whether she supports the reelection bids of embattled Alaska Republicans Sen. Ted Stevens and Rep. Don Young.

“Ted Stevens' trial started a couple days ago. We’ll see where that goes,” she told reporters in what amounted to her first press conference since accepting the Republican vice presidential nomination.
