Just like in Columbus, Rochester NY fans waiting all night for Sarah Palin found out there were only 500 wristbands avaiable, instead of the 1000 promised.

You would have a better response if you provided your source:
-
http://www.10tv.com/live/content/local/stories/2009/11/21/story-sarah-palin-autographs.html?sid=102
-
And then at least a teasing quote from the story:
-
“...the Borders bookstore on Sawmill Road announced that the first 1,000 in line by the store’s 10 a.m. opening would be guaranteed to get their books signed. But Palin’s staff called the store and told the managers to cut back to 500 wristbands...”
Yes he will vote to debate.
But he has said he will not support the final bill, to end debate.
That vote also needs 60 votes. That is the vote where if senators like Lincoln vote to end debate, it will be the end of their career.
Boo Hoo.
RE: my reply #3
Looks like I was mistaken. I apologize.
Oh Please! If someone wastes their money and time driving hundreds of miles to get a silly wristband... I’d love to meet Sarah Palin and get a book signed, but there is only one of her and millions of us. So the chances are slim that this can happen, especially since I am a productive member of society who has to work to support a family. So the productive ones are suppose to feel sorry for the ones who get to waste their time chasing after the Sarah bus?
The fact of the matter is that Governor Palin only has a set amount of time in which to sign as many books as she can before heading out to the next venue. Real supporters will understand this.
However, reports are now surfacing that liberal agitators are infiltrating the lines, getting their wrist bands, deliberately NOT getting books signed, and then cutting a ruckus about it to once again try and make her look bad. Don't fall for it!
Sarah Palin Gets Booed ["Angry crowd" = video shooter and his loser friends]
Why are you people discussing an Off Topic topic????
150 out of thousands boo her and Huffpo thinks that is more important news than the health care debate. LOL!
The bookstore is responsible for this, not Governor Palin.
You do realize that working people have days off, and that some people might be retired, right?
One thing I’d like to note. And a question.
If you were the one who had to spend all this time in the bookstores, and had to personally do every autograph, I bet you might start setting a limit. Especially after your wrist was swollen up to the size of a grapefruit.
We should consider she is doing the most possible, given the time. And being cheerful about it. As well as scheduling extra signings to try and get to everyone. (Which she is doing).
Also, she is not in control of how the bookstore manages the crowd and tickets.
How would you handle it?
I was in Borders yesterday, DeKalb, IL. No Sarah, no wristband, no waiting lines. But I bought her book anyway because I respect her and wanted it. I don’t need nor care about all that other crap. Those that do, I suspect, are rabble rousers. The more stories that crop up, like yours, the more folks will understand it’s just another intimidation ploy.
If you of a family member are upset they didn’t get their little wristbands, or autograph, suck it up and take it like an adult. Things don’t always happen as we wish them to.
Oh, and while there weren’t any waiting lines yesterday, the table was pretty well picked over; the only one in the store that way. It was as if the staff didn’t have the time (even with the few customers that were there) to get it replenished and straightened up. And at checkout, the clerk said he was surprised how well the book was selling. I told him I wasn’t surprised at all.
Goodness me. I simply responded to his comment.
I knew it was off subject. Deal with it or complain to the mods.
Who wants to sign 1000 or even 500 of these books day after day. Most authors probably only sign a hundred or two any given day.
Greenspan needs to invest in some proboscis reduction. I’d bet that Mitchell suffers from rhinotillexomania.
Yeah, these ‘promises’ remind me of those bogus ‘broken speaking promises’.
The nature of these attacks belong in the realm of adolescent type harassment - the nasty gossip of punks and fugly losers.
It seems Harper Collins overbooked Palin with the multiple signings per day.
She's got three in one day set for Florida next week. We'll see how that goes.
