Sarah Palin's bus has been parked in Moline all day long, and it was creating quite a buzz. The question was is she actually in town?

Well, she was not in town. The bus driver was told to go to Moline and wait for further instructions. Palin's bus was tucked behind Benjamin Franklin Crafts in Moline. Even though you could not see it from the main road, folks were still finding it.

"I think that it spreads quickly. I think that it's really one person saw it, couple more people. But truthfully we haven't had much interest through the store," said Lori Graham, Benjamin Franklin Crafts employee.

About two dozen curious Quad Citians stopped by Thursday to see the bus for themselves.

"When my friend asked me to have the picture taken in front of the bus. My response was ‘you betcha' 'cause that's one of Sarah Palin's favorite words. So I thought I'll just coin that phrase," said Jean Whitcomb, another Benjamin Franklin Crafts employee.

Once again the bus driver himself didn't know why he was told to come to town.

I'm talking about her numbers in the primary, not the general election.

If you want to talk about the general election, her numbers against Obama are the worst among all of the GOP contenders.

And yet their still much better than Reagan's were and he had announced.

Wrong argument my friend.

Governor Palin is not a "Finger-in-the-Wind" individual. She doesn't do things based on polls, she never has in her political career, a fact you might have known if you had actually read more of the articles posted here on FreeRepublic or had seen "The Undefeated" or even read one of her books.

Basing your opinion on polls at this stage of the game is just plan silly.

I get the whole Palin worship bit. It's hard to avoid here lately. You don't have to reiterate how awesome you think she is.

But she polls the worst out of all of the candidates and has the highest negatives. She knows this and is not running. She said she'd get in the game only if there wasn't proper representation of her ideas in the field. Between Perry and Bachmann I think she sees that and will endorse one of them sooner or later.

you saw what Romney got when he came someplace expected...shouted down by an obama/soros thug.....I hope Sarah never tells them where she is going.

Gotta love how the PDSers sneak into a Palin thread in the dead of night.....

Leaving aside the obligatory hyperbole, lies, and ugliness routinely employed by those suffering from Palin Derangement Syndrome, here is a properly sourced Time Magazine article from 1980 that just goes to prove my point concerning polling, read it and weep GunRunner!

Nation: But Can Reagan Be Elected? (Compare to todays Palin!)

Try learning from history GunRunner!

There's no lies contained in anything I said. I was just stating a fact:

Agree 100 percent. I pray she will step forward and lead. We all need to work on finding new congress critters. Replace whey incumbent we can regardless of party. She will need those tea party supported new guys to u turn this disaster.
Do you have a new candidate to back during the primary for your congressional district?

Your comment is without a doubt one of the most amusing I have ever read. Or did you forget the sarcasm tag?

I don’t typically post here until late in the evening.

I don’t typically post on Palin threads because unless you drop to your knees and genuflect everytime Sarah’s name is mentioned you are labeled a PDSer or troll. I am neither. Sarah is human..and a politician.

I hope Sarah declares..for many reasons. First and foremost..I’m sure not excited about the current field. But I question some of her methods and have to wonder why she would walk the gauntlet.

Like I said..I am not typically on the internet until late in the evening. Your comment was just too rich to let pass. I’ll be back later (maybe) to sneak in and post in the dead of night.

Wow!! That makes me feel pretty exotic!
