Seriously, they were no sustained applause, cheering, and chanting. A bit dis-gusted (lack of wind in the sails) and apprehensive, I would say.

And yet a major part of the crowd hung around for 45+ minutes for the meet-n-greet to talk to her, to get her signature.

Me thinks your analysis is wee bit wrong.

Furthermore, name one other candidate or potential candidate that has the response I mentioned?

Perry? Ha!

Bachmann? She got 60-80 people at her last Tea-Party appearance.

Myth? Double Ha!

Cain? Not even close.

Nice try though at trying to spin the response as negative.

[Kickass Conservative]

>”How do you know there was no gun??”<

Didn't see the grips sticking out of the Holster. But then again, it was kind of quick and I don't have a DVR to double check.

I wonder if that encounter is going to make the News, LOL.

[Windflier]

To Perry from Sarah:

“We have to hold our GOP candidates accountable for their involvement in crony capitalism.” (This means you, Ricky)

“I am not for sale”

Game on, Perry.

I caught that too! I'll bet someone down in Austin just felt breathing on their neck .. LOL

[mojitojoe]

Amazing! She has to run, she just has to.

[onyx]

You’re so right! GO SARAH! I am listening to her speech again on the CSPAN REPLAY.

[Shelayne]

I just saw an Xfinity/On Demand commercial, and it was for “Sarah Palin, The Undefeated”!

I am so ordering that tonight! Yay!

[jonrick46]

Exactly! Money (our tax dollar) goes out to grant and contract recipients which then goes back to the politicians in campaign contributions. This encourages the grant money to continue. The politicians then put the campaign contribution money into the market and try to grow new wealth for themselves; maintaining the original money in the campaign war chest so that they don’t violate campaign finance rules. No wonder these politicians are wealthy.

[GlockLady]

“What a diverse crowd!!!!!! “
And some try to say women don’t support her?????????
I think I saw a few women there.

[onyx]

Exactly so, dearest Bray!

[TheConservativeParty]

I agree with you. Her laying our her plan, has let me know that she is loaded for bear. I will patiently (lol) await her official announcement, with my checkbook and pen at the ready.

[Windflier]

I’m thinking that this speech needs to be pressed to DVD and given away by the truckload across the country.

I can’t see how any red-blooded American can fail to be moved by everything she said today.

[onyx]

As high as she set the bar today, the *Back Benchers*, as Levin would say, are in heap big trouble, as Rush would say.

Amen and You betcha!

She hasn't said *you betcha* in a long time.

[rintense]

Wow, you’re really grasping out straws. She was interrupted at least twice with chants of ‘RUN SARAH RUN’, or were you on a potty break then?

[onyx]

HA!!! Polls are for strippers and cross country skiers! LOLOL!!!!!

ROTFLOLOL.

She's the best!

[hocndoc]

I am for Governor Perry, but have never said anything negative about Governor Palin.

In fact, I’ve defended her against some of the uber-perfectionists - especially when claims that her 10th amendment understanding on marriage and abortion is not perfect-enough for some.

[Bikkuri]

Needs to be on ThePirateBay Too... there will be jerks and knuckleheads.. but there will be MANY people that would love to watch this... and MANY who NEED to watch!

[going hot]

Pretty much every time tax rates are lowered, more taxes are collected.

Libs just have a very difficult time of grasping that concept, and reality.

[onyx]

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!

[Springfield Reformer]

One take away, she’s running. With talk that we need a leader with a real plan and then giving what she referred to as “My plan” she is tipping her hand.

No, see, here's how it really is. Some evil Palinista must have hacked the live video stream and just made it SEEM like she said "My Plan." She didn't say "My Plan." She couldn't have said “My Plan.” Everybody knows she'll just be cheerleading for someone else. If we could get to the bottom of this sinister conspiracy, I'd bet the original video would show she was actually talking about Rick Perry's plan, or the GOP's Plan, or the Falcon Party’s plan. Total deception. And an FR catastrophe. Now the Palinistas will get totally, unmanageably optimistic. Argh!
