Palin, Bachmann to headline Tea Party convention Posted: November 25th, 2009 12:49 PM ET

From CNN Deputy Political Director Paul Steinhauser

(CNN) – Sarah Palin will be the main attraction at what's being billed as the "First National Tea Party Convention."

Tea Party Nation announced Wednesday that last year's Republican vice presidential candidate will serve as keynote speaker for the conference, scheduled to take place in Nashville, Tennessee February 4-6. A representative for Palin has not confirmed the former Alaska governor's speaking role at the gathering.

The group also announced that Rep. Michele Bachmann will be speaking at the gathering as well. The Minnesota Republican has become a hero among many in the conservative movement. A representative for Bachmann confirms her speaking role.

The event could focus the political spotlight on both women. Bachmann has become a rising star, her ascent fueled in part by major support from Tea Party activists. For Palin - currently taking a brief Thanksgiving break from a national tour for her new book, "Going Rogue: An American Life" - serving as headliner at a tea party convention could increase speculation that she is weighing a run for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination.

Great ladies on our side. Just be prepared for it to be designated as the “S & M Teabaggers Convention” by the sleazebag MSM.

This could be trouble. Again.

The only relevant sentence.

Palin-Bachmann sounds nice on paper, but I’m not sure that would turn out well having 2 women on the same ticket. I as a male could care less, but I know there are still men in this country that don’t believe women should have such authority. On the other hand, it would be a lot of fun to watch Zero-Biden constantly shoot themselves in the foot with unconscious (they can’t help it) sexist comments.

A Palin-Bachmann ticket would make politically little sense.
I know that many here like Bachmann (I frankly do not too much), but honestly, she would not add anything to the ticket.
Electorally most sensible would be a conservative male Southern legislator.

Palin-Bachman 2012... (Pa-Bach's a bitch!

What a Dream Team. Washington would get cleaned out in their first year in office. People will go to jail. Good folks will want to run again. Appropriate that the re-birth of the nation might be delivered by an all-female ticket.

I wish I could be there!

Sarah Palin: "If you want some one to talk send a man...If you want it done, send a women!" Paraphrased from "Going Rogue".
