(Newsday).Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told a crowd of more than a thousand in St. James Sunday night that she will continue to advocate for children and adults who have developmental disabilities.
Reiterating comments from her speech at the Republican National Convention last September, in which Palin declared herself an advocate for developmentally disabled children, she stressed that her commitment to the cause has not changed just because the Republicans failed to capture the White House.

"And, just because our ticket placed second, second out of two, we still have an advocate for the cause," Palin joked, which drew loud applause.
Palin, 45, arrived in St. James after attending a Yankees game with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. She was here to help raise money for Independent Group Home Living, a nonprofit organization providing programs, services and support for people with developmental disabilities.
Before her speech, she met briefly with U.S. Rep. Peter King (R-Seaford), then posed for photos on a decorative bridge over a fountain, waving to the crowd.
