DES MOINES, Iowa – Potential 2012 presidential candidate Sarah Palin will headline the Iowa Republican Party's biggest annual fundraiser, party officials announced Tuesday in the state that launches the presidential nominating process.

The Sept. 17 speech at the annual Reagan Dinner in Des Moines will be the first Iowa appearance by the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate since a brief book-signing stop last December.

"I know Iowa Republicans will be energized and motivated by Governor Palin to stand up and fight for these principles all the way to Election Day and beyond," said Matt Strawn, chairman of the Iowa Republican Party.

More than ever, the biggest draw, the best way to motivate the party at all levels, build momentum, and attract the unaffiliated.

I cannot help but think, and pray, that she will be running in 2012.

We NEED a hero, someone specifically appointed by God, if we are going to survive. Someone who can walk amongst the “dark” and not be corrupted by it. Someone who can make difficult decisions on the drop of a dime, regardless of the personal consequences those decisions might incur, for the greater good of their country.

I don’t see anyone else but Sarah doing such things. If He wants to give America a second chance, Sarah will be that chance.

She does appear to be that, as you say.

But her problem is, she’s not perfect.

Only perfection is acceptable.

If it interests you look into it and get back to us, why ask the question like you are a little kid waiting for some else to supply the answer?

This is BIG!

As I have said, Iowa is a very hands on state and if you do NOT know the 200 or so petty little kings and their kingdoms, you will NOT make it, in Iowa.

This is her first REAL solo flight.

I’d love to see the Iowa poll 30 days after this event.

I bet they over sell it and have to turn people away.

I’m only a few hours from Des Moines. I’d LOVE to see Sarah in person!

I’m sorry that you are not familiar with the concept of a rhetorical question.

Yes, quite oft. For instance, right after the Beck rally this past Saturday she flew back home.

Who’s taking care of the kids?

If they are not with her the family looks after the children. Novel concept, isn't it?!

“I’m only a few hours from Des Moines. I’d LOVE to see Sarah in person!”

Believe me, seeing Sarah in person is an experience you will never forget. I saw her speak when she came to Springfield, MO two years ago during the campaign; she was just absolutely amazing!
