Palin Family Hits Road, if Not 2012 Trail


Sarah and Todd Palin after a family visit on Monday to the National Archives in Washington.

GETTYSBURG, Pa. — Sarah Palin dropped a fresh hint Monday about her presidential ambitions, telling reporters that her “One Nation” bus tour might “at some point” go to Iowa, where the 2012 voting begins.

But that scrap of information was about all Ms. Palin was willing to offer to reporters as she spent Memorial Day bouncing among historic locations in Washington, Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania.

Day 2 of the tour started Monday morning with a visit to the National Archives in Washington, where she and her family took a private moment to look at the Constitution. The family went from there to Mount Vernon, home of George Washington, and to Fort McHenry in Baltimore. A stop at the Gettysburg battlefield in Pennsylvania was also on the itinerary.

Throughout the day, Ms. Palin continued to play coy with reporters eager to know her itinerary. After the National Archives stop, a reporter yelled out, “Sarah, where are you going next?” She quickly answered, “Mount Vernon,” then added, “Oh — you are a reporter, darn you!”

I heard and read Palin wasn't too popular with the "Rolling Thunder" riders who thought she was trying to capitalize politically on an event supposed to be a serious commemoration of veterans...


The Trump-Palin brain trust lives on:

I can almost hear the Democrats salivating over a Trump-Palin Republican ticket or a third-party run by those two to siphon off Republican votes...

Even the GOP is not dumb enough to put Palin on a ticket nor Trump for that matter. If they run on a third party ticket (Constitution Party I suspect), all they will do is tear away votes from the two major parties (probably the GOP).

Either way it will be good for the Democrats.

To take a phrase from Karl Rove "Palin is the gift that keeps on giving"

I sometimes wonder who much the DNC is paying Palin?

Palin and Trump are having dinner together tonight, which has the rumor mill buzzing of a Palin/Trump ticket. However, they'll probably compare notes and realize they're making far more money toying & teasing with the idea of running for president then they ever will actually running for president.

Trump is nothing but a publicity hound and Palin is fast turning into one.
That's all well and good as long as they don't run for anything.
