Confusion on Day 2 of Palin Bus Tour (Politico whines: Twitter best way to stay informed)
Politico ^ | Monday, May 30, 2011 | Andy Barr

Day 2 of Sarah Palin’s bus tour, and the former vice presidential nominee has prompted little more than confusion at exactly what she is up to.

Palin started Memorial Day at the National Archives in Washington, but the only reporters who made it to her brief media availability there were those who happened to see tourists posting on Twitter that they had spotted her.

SNIP

Indeed, Twitter is about the only way to follow the former Alaska governor – unless you’re either Fox News host Greta Van Susteren or her husband, John Coale.

The Fox News host is traveling around with Palin on Monday and conducting an interview from inside the One Nation tour bus. Coale, who set up Palin’s political action committee in 2009 and serves as an informal advisor, was spotted walking around with the Palin family at Mount Vernon.

But even Van Susteren doesn’t seem to know what Palin’s up to next.

“My producer, who talked to someone who works with her in order to set up the interview, told me last night that he would not tell her,” Van Susteren posted on her blog Monday. “We were told to check their website for any information they are releasing. He said they don’t want the media following them, and that includes us.”

This is funny stuff.

She’s living rent-free inside the MSM’s heads.

“She’s living rent-free inside the MSM’s heads.”

I like that. Mind if I borrow it for a few days?

She’s in a campaign bus, how hard is it to find? She’s hiding right under your digital noses.

Pray for America

Matt Spence with the Times of London reports via twitter, natch, that he has caught up with the Palin tour bus near Ft. McHenry in Baltimore:

The Palin bus has just had lunch delivered in Baltimore. Sitting 8 blocks from Ft McHenry (Photo of bus.)

Was the press the other day not trying to make trouble over Sarah attracting attention to herself, because she “wasn’t invited” to the Rolling Thunder even and would take attention away from the vets?

Schizophrenic. Par for the course for a conservative.

No matter what a conservative does, it’s bad as far as the MSM is concerned. Sarah isn’t playing their game. Now they are getting REALLY ticked.

In other words, the media is upset they can’t stage massive protests in advance of her appearance, and then just happen to “be there” with the camera’s rolling and gotcha questions.

Screw the media.

She doesn’t need them. She needs to play like Obama did, control the information output. He only played to a friendly crowd, only gave softball interviews, refused to go on FOX.

She learned from the first run to avoid these morons. Let them fall over like the keystone cops. I love it.

This is hilarious the way they are falling all over each other to follow Sarah and her family on their summer vacation.All the while the nasty left posters everywhere are melting down about why anyone bothers to write about her showing that they too are watching and paying attention too.She lives in their heads rent free 24/7 abd she is using them so badly.Keep rocking the boat Sarah!

Brilliant! She's got the MSM following her around instead of all the other candidates making scheduled appearances in the Northeast this week.

Giuliani and Romney are scheduled to be in New Hampshire on Thursday (Romney to throw his hat in the ring). It would be fantastic if she just rolled in unannounced on the same day! Talk about taking the wind out of their sails!

Yeah, that’s the ticket. Except that she totally pimped up all the sides of an RV to ensure that no-one would miss her.

Sarah, if you want to go travelling stealth, should’da picked up a worn 1985 Winnebago!

(1) Sarah is not telegraphing her punches, so she keeps the element of surprise.
(2) By not broadcasting her schedule in advance, she’s commanding the spotlight.

There’s plenty of daylight left to get to Gettysburg, and maybe a few hours to take it in.

Governor Palin doesn’t “pimp” anything.

There is a difference between the media having the capability of literally following her vehicle, her license plate and vehicle model was adequate for that, and of her issuing her full itinerary to them.

The Times of London was the fifth media member that tweeted last night that they would be on the tour. (With the Daily Beast, Real Clear, CNN and the LA Times.) The common thread at least for most of the reporters was that they’d been on her media bus in ‘08. I wonder if there are others.

I'm very glad you brought that up....

I am very aware of it...

Fact is, the Journ-O-list’s biggest accomplishment was taking out Palin (or so they thought) in the first place.

Ben Smith—who edits Politico, was the sysop of Journ-O-list. That's like Jim Robinson to Free Republic. They have a lot of nerve to even try to cover her.

Aside from the fact that I want Sarah Palin as President, it would please me immensely to read Politico the night she wins!

... 140 characters at a time.

Palin can’t say much more than slogans that way, unfortunately.
