Dressed in black jeans, leather jacket and crash helmet, the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate joined tens of thousands of bikers in a rally honouring military veterans.
"It is certainly seen by those in the media as a godsend, as it will give a so far dismal Republican primary season a shot of excitement.
"However, the Republican establishment cannot be happy. They probably view her candidacy as a spoiler, as she has the potential to split their party's vote and ensure a Democratic win."
Mrs Palin is a paid contributor to Fox News and has her own reality TV show. She has written a best-selling book and draws large crowds when she appears at book stores, rallies and other events.
But establishment figures in the Republican Party believe Mrs Palin has been involved in too many political rows and soap-opera dramas to win the nomination.
Alongside Mr Romney, former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty, former speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and pizza entrepreneur Herman Cain lead the race.
Mrs Palin joined the riders in the Pentagon parking lot before heading to the rally on the Mall in downtown Washington.
"Nice to meet you," Mrs Palin told one fellow rider. "Thanks for doing what you're doing for the veterans."
"How do you wear all this leather and stay cool?" she asked another.
Mrs Palin's 'One Nation' road trip is the latest and biggest hint that the former governor of Alaska wants a shot at the Republican nomination to run against Barack Obama.
Scott Conroy, author of Sarah From Alaska, said: "Sarah Palin is someone who single-handedly turned the 2008 campaign on its head. She can draw a crowd of tens of thousands of people whenever and wherever she wants."

I thought I’d get in before the ping!
The “...Republican establishment unhappy...”...now just who is worried about that...after their lackluster dealing with Reid, Pelosi, and Dear Leader, they deserve to be unhappy in more ways than one!
Love that gal!!!
Stupidicus aboundidnus personificationus...lol
Dang, Sarah’s gotten man hands. Wait, that’s not her. (hehehe)
rad = read...lol
Halfway decent article and good photos. The comments are mostly leftist, Palin-hating drivel but indicative of why the U.K. has fallen into a second-rate, soon to be third-rate nation. The U.K. entitlement mentality, suffocating government has produced a nation of ignorant dupes, who parrot the leftist line and envy America as their own country goes Muslim. No wonder they think Obama is a ‘great’ president. He’s attempting to do to American what the socialists have done to the U.K. Sad.
“Love that gal!!!”
ME TOO!!! ME TOO!!!

The Republican Leadership are idiots.
Here they have the election in their hands and they are throwing it away.
This Woman can win if they get behind her.
Why won’t they get behind her? Because they saw what she did in Alaska to crooked Republicans and they fear she will do the same thing to them.
She can’t be bought, she can’t be bribed, she cannot be frightened. She will not dance to their tune.
THAT is why they will not get behind her/.
Marking.
Marking.
The comments at the bottom of the link are horrendous. I hope Palin RUNS and WINS. Liberalism truly is a blinding mental disorder.
