Biker Girl: Palin Sets Off On Her Road Trip (50 photos)(video)
SkyNews ^ | May 29,2011 | Greg Milam

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."

Who’s the hot mama she’s riding behind?

Her daughter Willow. Good genes huh? You think two parents like Todd and Sarah are going to have an ugly kid?

Maybe she doesn’t have a motorcycle license? Or one for DC?

The way I understand it, it was a license problem. Her Daughter Willow is driving, Bristol rode behind Todd.

The hatred the elite GOP establishment has for her is proof that she is the real deal.

This article would make a good exercise for the quiz: Spot the Errors: How many can you find?

Wow! Talk about trite cliches! And the comments about her intelligence (lack of) are so ludicrous - written by people who only know of her what the Palinhate press has promoted. They just display their own ignorance and smugness.

I ride in Texas on a Montana endorsement. Sarah is up to something. She’s setting up the liberal scum, and the GOP RINO elitists. Did I just repeat myself...?

Not to piss on your parade but lighten up a bit about Palin, while I am now a supporter I do recall that John McCain pimped her out to win his re-election, and I used the right word. She said she would only support conservatives for re-election and she supported McCain.

Palin and Cain should be one ticket. The two of them united would be powerful. I think they compliment each other, both are a breath of fresh air. I just don’t know which one would be the VP. That’d be the tough choice. Maybe instead of having a president, we could have the presidential couple.

Just-a-minute, this is the first time I've ever pinged a Palin article, and YOU are telling ME to lighten up?

Buzz off, buster. - And that includes the horse you rode in on.
