Palin to Visit Iowa as Bus Tour Kicks Into Gear
Real Clear Politics ^ | 05/30/11 | Scot Conroy

WASHINGTON -- Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will travel to Iowa next month as part of her nationwide bus tour, two sources with direct knowledge of the plan told RealClearPolitics. Palin's trip to the nation's first voting state -- where she has not yet set foot this year --will further escalate the already feverish speculation that she is leaning toward a White House run.

I cannot believe the feeling is reciprocated. After that tender picture yesterday, I don’t think Todd sees anyone in his eyes but Sarah.

And that’s as it should be.

“Have I left anything out?”

She’s trailer trash, she’s had an irresponsible number of children, her voice is grating, she didn’t attend the right school, she’s a quitter, ad nauseum.

I think I get it. This trip is MADE FOR FACEBOOK. Where you report on all the mundane things you do during the day. Imagine going to see the sights of America and reporting that. Then imagine you’re Sarah Palin and millions want to know what you’re up to. Social media is changing the landscape. Just as surely as TV eliminated train tours that were popular in the early 1900’s.

yeah but it is more than that. watch the stops she goes too. the tour is about the stops not her. she is weaving a message. A message that strikes at the heart of the socialists. She is teaching people what it means to be american.

Yeah, sign me up for the Sarah Loiuse ping list. And lets not quibble yet whether its Cain/Palin, Palin/Cain, or Palin/West. I have enough left over bumper stickers to cutandpaste any of the above.

Don’t be surprised if you see Sarah on the caboose balcony of Old 4449——it still makes the west coast run occasionally, draws a crowd when it does, and simply wouldn’t be hard for Palins to arrange——send her a note to remind her to work it into the tour.

I'm sure it will "coincidentally" be timed to mesh with the premiere of Undefeated

I like how you phrased that, especially "She is weaving a message." Nicely done!

Who could play her in a Hollywood movie? ;-]

Anjelina Jolie or Priscilla Presley?

Yes! This is about America not her. Several of us were commetng earlier about how several of us refer to her as the female George Washngton he wasn’t about ego he was all about America.Sarah is not all about her it is about this country.Washington went home after he served his country it wasn’t about the power he didn’t want to be King....it was about founding a new nation.Sarah is about restoring that dream.

The entire tour is her speech. This is what made me me, this is why I serve, This is why I fight, this is what sustains me. God, Family and country.

Considering she’s gotten up at 3:00 in the morning with 4 kids and still managed to get crucial things done during the day more than qualifies her, lol!

Yeah, she "can't be trusted with the nuclear button".

It is so declared, because George will said so! He should know. He knows about these things. I mean, he's never said such things about the other candidates, including 'The One', so they must've been 'trustable'. But George said Palin "can't be trusted", so that's that.

She did say that if she runs it will be an unconventional campaign.

Between Twitter and Facebook, Sarah is one or two degrees of separation from 80-90% of the people who will vote for her in 2012.

As one leftist newsperson commented “She is running the country from her kitchen table in Alaska using her Facebook account”

The new media revolution started here at FR when Dan Rather learned the hard way that he could no longer filter (or fabricate) the news content to America.

Sarah’s family and tour bus has arrived in Gettysburg, PA. When they arrived at their hotel, Mrs. foxfield and I actually got to meet her and Todd and pose for a few pictures. What a thrill!
