Sarah Palin will announce a bus tour at 3pm today.

[onyx]

"May we always be happy and our enemies know it"!

[ken5050]

To tour her new neighborhood..

[Al B.]

No exploratory committee has been announced. She has indicated in the past she won’t go that route.

[kevkrom]

Does anyone know if she has formed an exploratory committee?

She has said that if she does run, she will skip the whole "exploratory committee thing". It's either in or out, no "testing the waters".

I had been thinking that she would wait until Aug 15 to announce (after the Iowa straw poll), but with this bus tour and the movie being launched in a few weeks, announcing on or about July 4 is starting to look more likely.

You could go real far on a bus starting today and arriving July 4. Heck, the trip west in covered wagon didn’t take that long.

Godspeed, Palins, and may the wind be at your backs.

Do different Freepers see different articles based on geographic location? The article where I live (East Coast) says:

"Sarah Palin will announce a bus tour..."

So, I would go way out on a limb and suggest that she's going to announce...

...a bus tour.

Go ahead, take your shots. Call me a daredevil; okay, so I've thrown caution to the wind... I just have this unshakable feeling, she is going to announce a bus tour. Time alone will tell if I'm right.

“He’s shouting all aboard the bullet train to bankruptcy… The 2012 election begins here.
We will fight for America and it starts here in Madison, Wisconsin. Mr. President, game on!”
- Sarah Palin Madison, Wisconsin. April 16, 2011.

Somewhere, some guy named Barry Soetero just peed himself.

I think you are off by about 180 degrees as to the origin of the elimination, but you are in the ball-park....:-)....

[trisham]

This is good. :)

[Bigtigermike]

Palin said that she will never do a exploratory committee! She said that she will just jump into the race! SarahPAC money cannot be used for an official campaign for President, she will have to start over with a new Presidential campaign fund, although SaracPAC can be used now to pay her staff and advisers as she prepares to run

Palin's "Exploratory" Campaign: A Nationwide Bus Tour

Tour starts in DC at the Rolling Thunder event.

I just have this unshakable feeling, she is going to announce a bus tour.

I dunno, sounds like a stretch and a lot of reading between the lines. ;)

[RedMDer]

Snip: Palin has long demonstrated a particular affinity for motorcycles
She is the Leader of the Pack! :)

"I would think we all tear up during the national anthem at the beginning of a baseball game, don't we?"
~Sarah Palin

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Announce what?

She's going on vacation.

[RedMDer]

And idiot zippy does a voice over addressing the Queen during the British National Anthem.

[ilgipper]

you think she would? Bush actually ran on the issue. It was not something I agreed with, but it was clearly a cornerstone of the Rove campaign structure to bring in hispanics. I don’t see that campaign promise from anyone in the GOP given the changed political climate.

[dforest]

She must be going to announce. Why go on a bus tour just for the hell of it?

I doubt anyone would formally announce they were going on a family bus vacation.

[trisham]

It’s all about him.

[sand88]

One more step towards an announcement. This may cause other conservatives who were leaning to run, to reconsider.
