FORT WAYNE, IN (Indiana's NewsCenter) --- A Meijer's Department Store in Northeast Fort Wayne is preparing for what could be an onslaught of customers looking for a chance to meet a big star in the world of politics.
Sarah Palin didn't get elected Vice-President, but she figures to be a huge hit at an event here in town on Thursday. Palin will only be in the city a short time to sign copies of her new book, but the possibility of getting to meet her up close and personal is expected to draw supporters like a magnet.
The Meijer at Interstate 469 and State Road 37 will host the former Alaska Governor between noon and three p-m Thursday, as Palin is trying to spur sales of her new book entitled, "Going Rogue". The first thousand qualifying customers in line for a wristband earn the chance to have up to two copies of the book signed by John McCain's running mate in the last presidential election. Meijer anticipates a big overflow crowd.
Pat Mead/Meijer Manager: " It'll actually create some excitement, obviously, having somebody come in to do a book signing and I think there is a very large interest in the community to see her, so I think it'll be good for the community."
Martha Barrow/Palin Fan: " I like her, I think she's a down to earth person, just a family person and I think she can do just as good a job as the men do, maybe better."

My Barnes and Noble order came today! I ordered Sarah Palin’s Going Rogue An American life!
I received Agassi ‘Open’!
I am p*ssed.
I pre ordered also through Amazon. Haven’t gotten that one either!
That is awesome! I wish I could get a signed copy, but that will have to wait for now. I’m hoping they will still be available in Jan/Feb.
...that we need to get from each of Governor Palin's book tour stops.......to PROVE the large numbers of supporters that she is attracting.From Mlive.com:
Bitter clingers. That’s awesome to behold.
Look at those Astroturfers /sarc
That’s about a mile from where I lived when I went to HS (decades ago). The area sure has changed, judging from googlemaps, etc.
They all look like they are having a ball. There is a stark difference between conservative gatherings and leftist loons.
What’s that woman’s name, again? I forget.
“There is a stark difference between conservative gatherings and leftist loons.”
Loons don’t know what they should do until their organizer arrives.
Sarah Palin: Speaking Truth to idiots in power.
I preordered two copies from Amazon and they show I won’t get them ‘til Nov 24...slowest preorder delivery ever from them.
They should have left “Comp” out of the title.
The loons always look PO’d and insane, even when their leader is there.
Wow!
The oil and insurance companies must be making a KILLING, capitalist pigs that they are, to hire all those shills to attend her book signings.
I mean, just study the crowd! Obviously they’re corporate goons.
All kidding aside, I don’t really think the ‘Rats appreciate the tsunami of ordinary decent American wrath that Bambi and his minions have unleashed.
“Going Rouge” would make a great selection for book club meetings. Interesting meetings, that is.
but who is this lady
Hey! That blonde chick in the front, in that last picture, is wearing your name on her shirt! ;o)
I got an e-mail from Borders yesterday. They’re having a sale, 50% off the purchase from a list of 20 Best Sellers. Teddy the Swimmer’s book is on that list, and so is Stephen King’s new book, but Sarah’s is nowhere to be found.
Cindy Sheehan, at “Camp Casey” near GWBush’s ranch a few years ago when the media was still hyping her. This was her book signing. More reporters there than anything else.
The same mythmaking that gave us President Obama, empty suit.
Looks as if she is stirring-up the lunatic fringe.
“...having *somebody* come in to do a book signing”
Interesting that the store manager did not want to use Palin’s name and preferred a generic reference - ha ha, maybe an Obamabot.
Thanks. I love those pictures.
Surprised thy’re not making you buy a copy of Ted’s book before they’ll sell you Sarah’s...
Just for comparison to see if the national press covers these Palin book signings. What office did Cindy Sheehan ever hold? Didn’t she run for office recently?
Thank you so much
That was good!!
put down the dust rag and started reading...........the dust bunnies can wait.....
GO SARAH
I ordered from B/N the day the book went on sale. Got the B/N order today and it was wrong book.
You went to Milan Center School?
Hey! That blonde chick in the front, in that last picture, is wearing your name on her shirt! ;o)LOL!
Almost! Same dog, different race. :o)From FReeper hattend's eagle eyes, it ACTUALLY says:
Tesoro Iron DogA Snowmobile version of the Iditarod
demand they send what you ordered and keep what they sent...you can always use it as a ‘fire starter’
have a great day.

I bought one at Wal-Mart today but I was also packing boxes for the troops in Afghanistan. Doing that instead of Christmas this year.
So - I put the book in the box. Hope someone reads it over there.
I will buy another for myself.
Snider.
Cboldt didn’t sound Amish.
No, Teddy’s book is entitled “True Compass”. I guess that’s a reference to his sailing. It came out just after he died. I won’t spend any of my precious time reading it, because I consider him a failure as a man, though he’s lionized by the same people who would dismiss Sarah Palin in a heartbeat.
