Sarah is running.
After spending a long evening with grass roots supporters at The Machine Shed restaurant in Urbandale, IA. on Friday night, she gives the great speech in Indianola on Saturday and spends an hour after the speech working the rope line. I was at both events and the crowd is reflective of Palin’s wide support. Plenty of young 20 -somethings, many minorities, local farmers, families with their children, ex-military, and on and on. It rained hard for most of the rally but nobody left. A very tiring day though.
What does Palin do on Sunday? She runs a half marathon in Storm Lake, IA! Unannounced and with no fanfare, she finishes and mixes with the crowd. They go wild for her.
She is giving another Tea Party speech in New Hampshire on Monday. I have no idea where she gets the energy at age 47.
Now maybe she isn’t going to run but she sure is making a huge splash in certain key States.
Another interesting aspect of Palins “campaign”...is politicians are watching it carefully as well as future candidates.....now why would they bother doing so? Some have stated it’s fasinating and remarkable she has accomplished all she has thus far....and without the standard “walk” most do.
Regardless if Sarah runs or not she has “changed” the political climate in more ways than any other Candidate. If and when she declares....there will no doubt be some frantic moments for her contenders. Even those who oppose her are saying as much.
This is an indication of how she is going to announce her candidacy:
She will probably just casually mention it on the local radio talk show in Alaska, just like she promised to the hosts of the morning drive show.
Can you imagine? Just a casual mention on hometown radio and then the Internet and airwaves explode. Brilliant!
