Live blog with video of her appearance in Roanoke today. The Roanoke Times doesn't own a wide-lens camera apparently, I didn't see any wide shots of the crowd.

The big cheering crowds are addictive.

That’s why I think she’ll run for the nomination.

And it didn’t take 850+ billion bucks to do it either. She is such a breath of fresh air. She is having dinner right now with Billy Graham and family

Does anyone get the feeling she is like Lech Walesa?

A minister without portfolio or title yet is the centroid of respect and where the real power is? President in abstentia

Drove through Roanoke today on way south to Charlotte and didn’t realize we missed Gov. Palin. If only I had known...

Great video - thanks

I admit I got a bit teary - for the hope she represents for us and US

God protect her. The evil ones will do anything to stop her.

I’ve been to that Barnes & Noble in Roanoke, VA. My family has a place in the VA mtns not far from there. I know a few of the people in the region. That area would back Sarah — heavily. ANd this video sort of tells the story about Sarah Palin. She’s a special lady, and I believe if she chooses to run, she’ll make a tremendous leader.

I worked overnight the night before and stopped by the mall around 8:15am. The parking lot was loaded and a huge line of people were standing outside in the freezing weather. Someone told me they were already out of bracelets and I went home to bed.
