    The Washington Examiner ^ | June 2, 2011 | Byron York, Chief Political Correspondent
    In the last week Sarah Palin has commanded the attention of the national press corps simply by taking in a few tourist sites on the East Coast. Whenever she stops her "One Nation" bus, reporters lucky or canny enough to keep up with her have asked about her political intentions. Will she run for president? Is she thinking about running for president? If she ran for president, how would she campaign? One thing many viewers have probably missed in all the horse-race speculation is that Palin is perfectly willing to discuss her positions on key issues, if anyone wants to...

    ABC News' The Note ^ | June 2, 2011 | Sheila Marikar
    Portsmouth, N.H.: Is it the end or just the beginning? Sarah Palin made what might be the last major stop of her northeast tour this evening in Seabrook, N.H., where she attended a clambake at the summer home of one of her staffer's families. She arrived to a crowd of the usual media folk and two protesters. Both male college students, they held signs saying "Idiot Queen" and "Palin for President, Do It for the Lulz." (Lulz is another way to say LOLs, online lingo for laughter.) She spoke with them as soon as she arrived, asking, "Aren't you proud...

    WEDNESDAY UPDATE: YES, SHE'LL BE HERE. Sarah Palin is making plans to be in New Hampshire on Thursday evening. The Granite Status has learned that Palin's staff has reached out to a number of New Hampshire Republicans for a clambake on New Hampshire's Seacoast. Kevin Smith, executive director of the conservative issues group Cornerstone Action, confirmed tonight, “I received a call from one of Sarah Palin's staffers asking whether I would be available for a clambake tomorrow (Thursday) evening on the Seacoast.” He said he was given no further details and expected more Thursday morning. “I appreciate them reaching out...

    Yahoo! News' The Ticket ^ | June 2, 2011 | Holly Bailey
    Sarah Palin's East Coast tour may be a dry run for her potential presidential campaign, but the real star of the show this week has been the former governor's 10-year-old daughter, Piper. The youngest Palin daughter, sporting an impressive collection of oversize sunglasses, has been at her mom's side all this week during the ex-governor's tour of historical sites—sometimes playing tourist, other times perfecting the fine art of giving the stink eye to reporters. Piper has even seemed to play the role of her mom's bodyguard, physically blocking a reporter who tried to talk to the ex-governor during a visit...

    Here's something that might explain why Piper Palin felt compelled to shove her tiny 9-year-old body into a reporter in Philadelphia yesterday: TIME correspondent Jay Newton-Small and photographer Dima Gavrysh followed Sarah Palin’s bus tour of historic sites up the eastern seaboard nearly 400 miles from Washington DC to New York City via Gettysburg and Philadelphia .... Her daughter Piper, however, didn’t appreciate all the media attention. “Thanks for ruining our vacation,” she said to our photographer. Thanks for ruining our vacation? Oh no. Nobody told her. She doesn't realize that this is all just a publicity stunt specifically designed...

    "In my opinion, any mandate coming from government is not a good thing, so obviously ... there will be more the explanation coming from former governor, Romney, on his support for government mandates," Sarah Palin told reporters today. When a reporter followed up that Romney has distinguished his state mandate from the federal one President Obama signed into law in 2010, Palin responded that even state mandates are problematic. "He makes a good argument there that it does. States rights and authority and responsibility allowed in our states makes more sense than a big centralized government telling us what to...

    GOP megastar Sarah Palin turned the Freedom Trail into a street party this morning as she toured Boston’s historic sites with her family in her latest stop in a headline-grabbing East Coast trip. She first stopped by the Old North Church and gift shop where she posed for photos and handed out copies of the Constitution to kids. The throng of supporters then followed her to Paul Revere’s House where a worker at the gift shop gave Palin a T-shirt with the famous saying, “Don’t Tread on Me"

    Sarah Palin emerged today from the Marriott Long Wharf hotel and said she planned to walk the Freedom Trail before heading to New Hampshire – where Mitt Romney is to announce his presidential candidacy today. “Coincidental that we’re in the same territory at the same time,’’ said Palin, a likely Republican presidential candidate. “But more power to Mitt…and best of luck to him.’’

    Can Sarah Palin Really Defeat Barack Obama? ‘You Betcha’by AWR Hawkins At this point in time, the main stream media has gone apoplectic. Why? Because just when they thought they’d finally done enough dirty work to stop Sarah Palin’s momentum in its tracks, she popped up at a Memorial Weekend biker rally looking more confident than ever, more beautiful than anyone the left has to offer, and even more beloved by the people than when we last saw her. In every picture from the rally participants were pressing toward her, asking the same question over and over: “Are you...

    NEW YORK — Fresh off her Times Square pizza summit with Donald Trump, Sarah Palin carried on with her tour of the Big Apple Wednesday, paying visits to such treasured landmarks like Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Although Palin was greeted with hand shakes and smiles from local admirers, her visit to New York wasn't immune to some hometown detractors. While Palin and company met with top brass at FOX News headquarters in Midtown, an unknown vandal managed to tag the former Alaska governor's patriotic-themed "One Nation" tour bus.

    Her strategy of not revealing the stops on her “one nation” tour? Crazy brilliant. Who needs a campaign kickoff when you can get a week’s worth of attention hiding on a bus. Romney, meanwhile, will be lucky to get a few hours of the spotlight with the more traditional “I’m running for president” speech today. The former Massachusetts governor has been running for years, anyway, so it’s barely even news. The only news will be how much Palin disrupts Romney’s event by coming to New Hampshire at the same time. Palin seems to understand what other candidates don’t right now....
  • Sarah Palin Gets The Name Of The Statue Of Liberty Wrong (BARF ALERT)

    While tweeting about her visit to New York, Sarah Palin let the world know that she was visiting the Statute of Liberty. You probably aren’t surprised, but Sarah Palin managed to get the name of the Statue of Liberty wrong. This woman wants Republicans to believe that she can be president, but she doesn’t know that it is called the Statue of Liberty? What’s worse is that this wasn’t a verbal gaffe, it was written. She could have checked the tweet before she sent from her Blackberry, but that isn’t how Sarah Palin rolls.

    Sarah Palin should have known better than to take her ridiculous circus of a bus tour to New York City, because she got exactly what she deserved once she arrived. Someone attached a sign reading "I, the Media Whore" to her silly Constitution-emblazoned freak show. Palin's behemoth bus, part of her east coast "non media, non political" (yeah right) tour, was parked outside Fox News studios where Sarah made an appearance on the network (by which she is also employed). Not content to smile and nod as people have done when she showed up at other locations, one honest New...
