Sarah Palin arrived at Fort Bragg this morning to a media mob and cheers from more than 1,000 people lined up for her book-signing event.

About a dozen people had been waiting since Sunday.

Palin's bus pulled up to the North Post Exchange just after 11:15 a.m. and the former Alaska governor and vice-presidential candidate emerged in a black suit to cheers and whistles.

As she passed the collected media, Palin was asked what she was thankful for this holiday season.

"I'm thankful for the U.S. military, the best in the world," she said.

The line to see Palin extended far out the door of the post exchange into the raw, drizzly weather. People stood or sat in folding chairs. Some held umbrellas. Many were reading copies of the former Alaska governor's recently released memoir "Going Rogue." One woman clutched three copies of the book.

Lots of black fans in that WRAL video.

Someone better revive Chrissie Matthews.
