Former half-term Gov. Sarah Palin has reportedly packed in her bus tour...halfway through.
Real Clear Politics is reporting that Palin and her family have returned to Alaska from their "One Nation" bus tour, despite tentatively scheduled stops in Iowa and South Carolina.
From Scott Conroy at RCP:
Though Palin and her staff never announced a timeline for the remaining legs of her trip, aides had drafted preliminary itineraries that would have taken her through the Midwest and Southeast at some point this month. But those travel blueprints are now in limbo, RCP has learned, as Palin and her family have reverted to the friendly confines of summertime Alaska, where the skies are currently alight for over 19 hours a day and the Bristol Bay salmon fishing season is nearing its peak.
Palin's intent to visit Iowa and South Carolina, as well as one stop in New Hampshire, caused some speculation that she was starting to get serious about a run for president in 2012.
The bus tour was launched over Memorial Day weekend, and was particularly scrutinized after one event in Boston where Palin badly flubbed the story behind Paul Revere's ride.
You forgot to bow and chant. Anything less is a blood libel attack.
That *bus* is bigger than my house. LOL
That would make sense, the family has to get back to WORK, a concept foreign to Northeastern red-diaper doper trust fund babies;)
I can’t believe how many FReepers are taing this “speculation” seriously. Sarah will do what she will do, and jealous Jill will just have to wait and see. Sarah doesn’t owe Jealous Jill a gosh darn thing.
Fred Thompson lost because he didn't want to be President and was a lousy, lazy campaigner.

And although that was my 50th birthday, this makes for a pretty new FReeper.
I'm sure I'm equally glad to have your opinion about mine. I don't doubt she'd have the level of support you're mentioning. It would be good for her to announce soon though, because there's already been one Republican debate with several declared candidates. I expected her to run, and to declare soon - at the conclusion of her bus tour, if not during. So, if the story is true, I don't understand what she's doing, as I stated. It's as simple as that.
Thank you for the civics lesson.
What if it was *his* idea?
///commence Rollins bashing
I know, but her kids are used to wide open spaces. Cramped in that bus,(i had 3 boys) we would all be ripping each others hair out. LOL
Oh..and by the way, I can’t help thinking that next time we will see the bus it will have a giant Sarah Palin poster on it - Sarah Palin for President. They are working on it as we speak. I like that thought :-)
I agree, and maybe that's what she's doing. If the story is true, I don't think she would end her tour either if she were planning on declaring her candidacy.
I believe Todd has fishing rights and must use them regularly. No doubt it is a part of his familys diet and income.

Exactly. I think that Sarah has spoken in the past about how important hunting is to her family in the same way.
It's like attacking smoke when they do. That strategery worked out great for Fred Thompson.
Sarah Palin is no Fred Thompson.
“She IS running since 2 years!!!”
She has announced? Then no, she’s not running. You get an F for grammar, but an A for passion.
” If you dont see that then you are blind or not interested in Sarahs life and accomplishments.”
None of the above. I am a supporter of hers, I want the nominee to be named Palin, Cain or Bachmann, but I will never worship this woman as some of her supporters do; present company excepted of course.
Funny.... I don’t ever remember articles being written about Obama being a half term Senator...
Naaa... I am sure their were plenty and I just missed them!
No, it was a general comment that Moonbats must overlook her being right despite the evidence. The Reverand at the Old North Church was accused of “having bats in his belfry” because he supported Sarah’s comment on Revere’s ride. Thus he must be stupid too. He gave her the tour and gave the account of Revere’s ride. The actual question to Sarah was “what she she get out of the tour?”
