Palin Spotted – and Swarmed – at Iowa State Fair
New York Times: The Caucus ^ | 8/12/2011 | MICHAEL D. SHEAR

Posted on 08/12/2011 11:05:50 AM PDT by Springfield Reformer

1:09 p.m. | Updated DES MOINES — Sarah Palin arrived at the Iowa State Fair even as Rick Santorum was speaking on the fair soap box and Tim Pawlenty was grilling pork on a stick.

Ms. Palin came, reportedly in black Suburbans, to the cattle barn — and was immediately surrounded by a crush of reporters and fairgoers.

THAT is something none of the others can do, not even Perry (sorry guys, but you know it's true).
Not that she's going to run, but if she doesn't, her endorsement will surely put someone over the top.

That’s okay. It can’t appear too often just because it drives the PDSers insane. LOL
Although the perry folks have now taken it over as their own...the PDS thing. Wouldn’t you think they would be able to do SOMETHING not stolen from.....Sarah?
Nah.

:-) The New York Times has to HATE this. Sarah shows up at the Iowa State Fair and steals the show from two of the participants in last night’s Republican “debate.” And the Iowan’s and Media are just drawn to Lady Sarah like a magnet. They hate her, but she’s got “it.” And they KNOW IT. And they are scared to DEATH of IT.

She knows exactly what she is doing. She is running a stealth campaign her own way. She isn’t giving the MSM a chance to call the shots for her. I love it!!

LMAO... Everyone is screaming to be noticed and all Palin has to do .....is walk into the room.

All other candidates should start carrying an oxygen tank, because that might be the only way they will survive from the gathering storm that Palin brings.

That's because she's become a superstar type celebrity. That's all it means.

For some "groupies" that is most likely true. But why not use this to the Conservative advantage?

Too many Americans could name the American Idol and Dancing with the Stars winner but can not name the candidates and their associated platforms.

And they vote

If she runs, she wins the nomination easily.

If she endorses, that person wins the presidency easily.
