+This seems so silly. It means nothing. Palin or anyone else can jump on board at anytime... and kick butt. Too soon to call anything.
I think anyone can beat Obama unless we get a third party candidate like trump. IF he runs and we bama again, he will go down in history as the cheap huckster he is.
Does anybody know the host/speaker? Laura Ingraham did it four years ago.
You forgot Obama being in the state!
