Oooh....shouldn’t have made that bet. Sarah’s team spent considerable effort squashing the rumors that she’d announce at this event, a couple of weeks ago.
Sure would be nice, but the message from the Palin camp is that this ain’t the day.
Yes, CSpan is covering online too. Also at RightScoop I think and LIVE FEED TODAY: The Tea Party America Rally from Iowa .http://www.rightspeak.net/2011/09/live-feed-today-tea-party-america-rally.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
I just have some idiot from the white house talking about cell service.
Is is me or does CSpan Suck, I getting some Obamaton on tape when I click on that link, thank G_d it on TV...
Probabaly a lot of them went back to their cars/buses to wait out the rain while the undercard acts go on.
Move Sarah up in the schedule, please!!
This seem a bit unorganized. A little embarrassing. Any idea how many people there? CSpan only showing tight shots. No wide pans of the crowd. Typical.
I can’t imagine that many. From what I’ve seen there can’t be more the 100 people there.
C-SPAN TV is working, but the audio is a bit low.

Alaskans4Palin.com #IA #palin CPAN live now- iphone has great CSPAN app if you cant watch TV you can listen to audio

Well, it was just pouring rain.
She won't wait that long. She'd miss at least a couple important filing dates in October. I'm leaning toward late September now.
Then again, this is Sarah we're talking about. She could announce the day before the Republican debate to suck all of the air out of the news cycle. Better yet, on the day of Bambi's "big jobs speech".
Glockady’s link is working better
Click TPA Rally 1 button — it connects to C-Span live feed of tea party. I just tried it.
Is the event in Des Moines?
Weather Channel has a four-hour forward looking predictive radar map, showing the storm breaking almost exactly at 1:15pm for Des Moines.
Thank you for that link!!! I was getting tired of listening to the AT&T queer >.<
On now, Sam Clovis, talker from KSCJ. Hope he has more stage presence than the other guy. The other guy’s speech probably read well, but as a speech it was flat.
Romney has good hair too, but he wasn’t known as an airhead or as “Mr. Goodhair” when he was governor.
Sorry make that the Weather Channel website. Weather.com
