DES MOINES, Iowa – After helping propel several upstart Republican contenders to recent primary victories, Sarah Palin said Friday that it’s time for Republicans to unite now that primary season is over.

The former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee delivered a fiery speech to about 1,400 people at the Iowa Republican Party’s Reagan dinner, the party’s largest annual fundraiser. She noted that the general elections are less than two months away and stressed that Nov. 2 should be the focus of all Republicans.

“This is our movement, this is our moment,” she said. “The time for unity is near. It is time to unite and make government work.”
