Cathy Maples beat out 60 others in a charity auction for a dinner with former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, bidding a whopping $63,500.
Maples appeared on MSNBC today to talk about her winning bid, which got her a dinner for five with Palin and her husband Todd.
“Sometimes I would like [to hear] her political views on things, and other times I think, just leave politics out of it, have a good dinner and a good conversation ’cause I already know her views,” she said.
Maples said she wanted to help out the charity, Ride to Recovery, which provides bicycles and arranges cycling outings for wounded veterans.
She also said she’d vote for Palin in 2012.
“I don’t think she lies to get votes,” Maples said. She lives in Huntsville, Ala., and said she didn’t know if the dinner would be near her or in Alaska, adding the details would be worked out in the next few weeks.
The same auction featured a lunch for three with Karl Rove. That one brought in $7,500 for the charity.
