I think she has made a mistake, but who knows? If she strongley defends conservative principles and leaves them looking squishy, it may be a good move.

LOL, I guess the Freepers attacking anyone and everyone associated with this listening tour will have to eat their words or turn on Palin. Which will they choose?
Sarah Palin should do a listening tour of her own. She will get plenty of attention on her own and can speak directly to the people w/o those other politicians around. Either that or she could pick a few Republican women to go around with her, like Marsha Blackburn, Michelle Bachman, etc. The point is that she needs to blaze her own trail, not follow Mitt Romney around town.
Rush gave the sissies a public spanking, so now they’re going to let the girl play.
IF, she actually takes an active part in this group, she’ll suck all the oxygen out of everyone else’s sails. No one really cares about what McCain says, everyone has heard him say it for years and years, same with Romney. Jeb Bush isn’t exactly a new face either, but NO ONE is interested in a third Bush. Cantor is realtively new, but let’s face it, no one knows who the hell he is outside of Virginia, and the beltway. Palin knows that she cannot be seen as just another beltway hack, because most of her appeal is the fact that she is about as far from that crowd, both politically, and geographicly as possible. She is one shrewed operator, and she knows that if she shows up for one of their events they will not have to offer free pizza to attract a tiny crowd, she will attract thousands, and the chants of Sarah! Sarah! will issue from the throats of the crowd, and will send shivers up the spines of the spineless dolts in the group. Unfortunately, Jindal has chosen to throw his lot in with the beltway bandits heart and soul. If you notice Palin said, “this and others,” putting them on notice that she is not putting all her eggs in their extremely weak backet. Although many here may object to her participation, this may be a real chance for her to exert maximum influence on the future direction of the GOP. If SarahPAC is a monumental success, she will cement her influence even further.
Watch your back, Sarah!
OMG ... a horrible mistake!!!!!! She’ll draw people like she did for McCain but for ALL THE WRONG REASONS. SARAH please DON’T!!!!!
Attendance must have been low.
It's going to take a real maverick to overcome the GOP leadership and inject more maverickness into the party. And of all the mavericks out there, Palin is the most maverickicious. Her maverickosity is off the charts. She'll have the party mavericking to a new tune in no time at all.
Hillary Clinton went on a “Listening Tour” during her bid for the Democrat nomination.
Why do Republicans want to emulate failure?
