Okay—this is all well and good. But 30 days before the election and she is in Texas???

Sarah, hon, a bit of advice. Never, ever refer to THE GREAT STATE OF TEXAS as “little.” That comment just cost you more than a few votes.

must be a load ‘o money there,

[padre35]

I know, Hurrah for Texas, I’d prefer it if she made a trip up into Maine and NH....and MI...Rally to Palin!

[Terry Mross]

She’s down here looking for her veep in 2012. God, I hope it’s not Rick Perry.

Well now, how many Texas’ can fit in the state of Alaska? I would hope Texans can take a friendly joke.

The comments to the article are some of the most hateful I have read. This is NOT the Dallas I lived in for more than 25 years.

[Ancesthntr]

Someone has size issues. :>)

Heck, I’m from Texas, and I find her statement kind of funny - only an Alaskan could say that and get away with it.

Fund raising. They originally planned for her to do a lot more fund raising, but scaled it back due to her popularity.

I remember when Alaska became a state. Texas appeared to be upset that they no longer would be the biggest state.
The then Alaskan governor said stop complaining or we will dived the state into thirds, then you will be the fourth biggest state.:-)

[BigEdLB]

off to Dallas :)

Surely they are in jest. No one can be that thin skinned except for OBAMA

This Texan did!

[mel]

Reminds me of someone else thin skinned: Obama. :)

[svcw]

I just love that the family travels with her and the kids are not being farmed off to babysitters.

[LA Woman3]

She’s down here looking for her veep in 2012. God, I hope it’s not Rick Perry.

My pick would be Bobby Jindal!

I thought the same thing.

Alaska: 1: 656,425 square miles:

Texas: 2: 268,601 square miles

Seems she was right.

[impeachedrapist]

But 30 days before the election and she is in Texas???

Yeah. Elections cost money. Plus there actually are other races besides the Presidential election. So she may visit other states besides the same dozen or so "swing states" we hear about ad nauseam.
