The Governor’s mansion here in Jefferson City MO was open during the town’s Holiday celebration, and I would bet 3-5,000 people toured the mansion, met Matt Blunt who posed for pictures with any and all, and listened to local HS choirs sign Christmas music.
I really don’t see what is so unusual about what Palin did...it occurs EVERY year here in MO.
I think Sarah’s Open House mentioned as she was part of the news, etc. recently as a VP candidate.
