Former vice presidential candidate and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is defending Miss California USA Carrie Prejean, who created a stir at last month's Miss USA pageant when she said marriage should only be between a man and a woman. The former vice presidential candidate says in a statement, “The liberal onslaught of malicious attacks against Carrie Prejean for expressing her opinion is despicable.” Pageant owner Donald Trump decided to let Prejean keep her state crown. Palin says she can relate to her “as a liberal target myself.” Palin was a runner-up in the 1984 Miss Alaska contest.
