Governor Palin spoke today in Belleville, Michigan at Americans for Prosperity’s Patriot’s in the Park tea party event. The Detroit News reports , “Sarah Palin brings positive energy, message to tea party faithful”:

Former Republican vice presidential candidate and Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin told an energized crowd of supporters Saturday to keep up hope going into the election season.

“I don’t want you to be bummed, I don’t want you to lose courage and I don’t want you to lose hope and faith that things can be turned around, though the challenges do seem daunting,” Palin told a cheering crowd of at least 400 strong gathered at the Wayne County Fairgrounds. “We must not lose our sense of optimism.”

Actually, reports on the ground state that more like 1,500 attended the event of fired-up patriots.

Palin’s address rounded out a day of speeches from tea party and conservatives in politics, religion and the media, hosted by the Michigan branch of Americans for Prosperity and the Willow Run Tea Party Caucus.

Other speakers included Wisconsin Speaker of the House Jeff Fitzgerald, Michigan state Sen. Patrick Colbeck, R-Canton Township and Troy Mayor Janice Daniels.

But the enthusiasm of the crowds could not be compared to when Palin appeared shortly before 4 p.m. Dozens ran to the stage to get close enough to snap a picture. Supporters screamed “You go girl!” and “Palin for Energy Secretary.”

Palin started off by telling the crowd about how much she likes Michigan.

“Any state that loves hockey and hunting and snow and cars, I feel perfectly at home in,” she said.

Palin touched on a myriad of issues including the energy crisis, the budget deficit and healthcare. She said President Obama’s vision for the country is to fundamentally change America.

“Why would anybody want to fundamentally transform what is so good and free and strong about America?” she said.

I like Palin because she give old lady Bush indigestion. She flushes out the enemy.

We need Gov Palin out there more than ever with Romney as the nominee.

Repealing John Boehner should be a required campaign promise by any conservative running for Congress in 2012

Ping.

In-freekin'-deed!

Ok, I do not care.
Palin has her flaws and I still have a girl crush.

She lights it up.

Let her speak prime time at the convention and then go hit Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.

Sarah connects and will deliver for this Republic.!

Palin for Energy Secretary.

LOL! That would be awesome, if only to frost the chaps of the environmental wackos!!

I really believe that Michigan will go Red this year. The base of the Democrat vote, Detroit, is a ghost town. It’s depressed and depressing. But, the rest of the State is mad as hell and ready to vote for Romney, their home-State boy. I lived in MI for 10 years and I keep in touch with a lot of people there. It’s going for Romney.

Sis in Marshall says the same thing. Also lots of enthusiasm to get Spend=it=now out. The governor has shown an r can win. And follow though on his promises.

[cripplecreek]

My primary reason for voting will be to get rid of Stupidcow. I believe Marshall is still in the 7th district and it doesn’t look like there is much of a fight to beat our conservative congressman (Walberg).

I was there with my daughter. We had a great time. Palin spoke well as usual. Got her to sign her book afterwards. A classy lady.

I can confirm there were well over a thousand people there in 90 degree weather.

My gnome who volunteered for days on site to make it happen claims closer to 3000 or 4000.

The lame streams claiming 400 should be ashamed of themselves...
