Folks, Post here if you are going, know someone who is going, have reports on the size of the crowds, or interaction with Gov. Palin. WWJ Radio Detroit this morning @ 5:00am noted people were already getting their wrist bands that early for the book signing in the evening.

Axelrod and Rahm will be peeing their pants when they see the size of the crowds and enthusiasm for Sarah.

It’s gonna be astonishing, I predict.

Andrea Mitchell just acknowledged that there were 1500 people already in line. Waiting outside the mall until they were allowed inside.

Of course, she just couldn’t help herself and suggested that since Huckabee was in Michigan yesterday he somehow warmed up the crowd for Sarah.

Hope you’re going. I’m also hoping to see some photos.

I would love to see the ratings of a Palin talk show versus Oprah. She could probably do one for a year or so prior to running for President if she wanted to.

Watched a few minutes of Morning Joe. ( I was doing penance) and listening to Michael Beschloss insist no president has had more issues to confront that BO. Didn’t mention the 9/11 attack. (how intellectually dishonest)

When they went to Mitchell I stayed to watch her discomfort and was rewarded with her having to admit there were 1500 people in line BEFORE the mall opened.

Can’t. Have to work. Missed too much time already because of swine flu. Its a contract position too so I want to make a good impression. The President of the Co., ironically, is going. LOL. Told him to ask Sarah if Todd has a brother.

My prediction is that there will be three aging hippie protesters who make the front page of the paper and the evening news with a scant mention of who they're protesting.

Just got a note on FB from a friend. He went to get in line and left. A cop estimated there were greater than 1500 people there at 7am.

Thank you everyone.

Wow 1500.

To the Lady who can't take time off because of the Flu, schools here in MI are getting hit hard. Hope you, and and all Freepers are Healthy.

I stopped at the Barnes and Noble late yesterday afternoon. They were getting ready to set up.

I bought the book and considered going out there early this morning before work and getting a wristband...but didn't.

I'll try after I get out of work.

I'm betting there's 2000 there NOW just to try and get wristbands so they can get in line later.

Remember Sarah isn't scheduled to start signing until 6 PM.

I will never forget the look on Mitchell's face when she announced Sarah was the VP choice. I am no doctor, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn express last night, and if that wasn't the look of discomfort from some sort of "personal exam" I don't know what is.

The last time I saw a look like that?

1994, McCauglin Group, A pan to Eleanor Clift, when John jabbed her about the results of the GOP House and Senate Sweep.....

Mitchell knows in her heart and soul this is the real deal, and it kills her.
