She may not be an official candidate at this point, but former Sarah Palin will hit the airwaves in Iowa on Monday, and it’s not going to cost the former Alaska governor a dime.

Charlie Gruschow, a co-founder of the group who confirmed the ad buy to RealClearPolitics, said anyone interested in attending the rally will also be directed to a website where they can reserve free tickets and sign up to receive updates.
Organizers hope that the promotional effort will help them gain a rough idea of the expected crowd, which is almost certain to number in the thousands.
“It’s just so difficult to estimate,” Gruschow said of gauging a head count for the rally. “There seems to be quite a bit of interest.”
Speculation that Palin might use the Labor Day weekend event to declare her candidacy has ramped up on cable news and the conservative blogosphere, but RCP has learned from sources close Palin that an official announcement is unlikely at that time.

Geddes, who was a field staffer for former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee’s 2008 campaign in Iowa before going on to work for former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s now defunct campaign this year, echoed other Iowa political observers in assessing the Palin volunteers’ dedication and quiet competence.

A Tea Party Woodstock in the making. And, don’t call it Sarahstock, which will take you to Sarah Stock, a Canadian female wrestler in skimpy costumes. Palinstock, OK.

It’s not even just the media, its those on FR that refuse to pay to any attention on what’s going and openly say stupid things that Palin has no organization in place because she doesn’t hire Republican strategist and beltway politicos
EyeOfUnk, do Bob and Mark have any travel plans scheduled?
*wink*
Rinos head to WalMart before all the clean skivvies run out ;)
As someone pointed out to me, note the use of the word official.
“It’s going to be a major upset if she gets in because I think these people are very underestimated.”
That was the key paragraph for me! these silly people in the beltway and some on FR just doesn’t get it! We are about to witness something unseen and unheard of in the modern history of politics
God Bless Iowa Tea Party and Sarah. We need an adult to run and Sarah is the one that fits the bill.
Keep your powder dry.
Amen, dearest you.
May God always bless you and your precious family right along with Sarah Palin, her precious family , and all Tea Party Patriots and their precious families!
But.. but the mediots tell us that Bachmann is the TEA candidate...
