Palin: When Quayle gives you advice…

The AP writes,  “Dan Quayle knows a little about what Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is going through and he advised her to ‘just be yourself.’ Twenty years ago, an older, experienced Republican presidential candidate, George H.W. Bush, surprised many when he selected Quayle, then a little-known Indiana senator, to be his running mate. The former vice president said Wednesday that he's spoken with Palin since Sen. John McCain chose her for the GOP ticket in late August.”

“‘I basically said, “Look, just be yourself. You were selected by John McCain because of who you are and what you have done, and don't let them take anything away from you. Just go out and be yourself,”’ he said.” 

Meanwhile, "A state judge reaffirmed Wednesday that government-related e-mails Gov. Sarah Palin and her staff sent from private accounts must be preserved and ordered further arguments over whether to halt the use of such accounts for state business.”
