Is Sarah The One? Palin At National Tea Party Convention

Many openly declare that they didn’t vote for Republican Sen. John McCain in the 2008 presidential election – they voted instead for his running mate ‘Sarah’.

Activists of the grassroots Tea Party phenomenon which exploded in reaction to Barack Obama’s economic policies are gathering for their first national meeting.

Tonight Sarah Palin will speak to the 600 members gathered at the Gaylord resort in Nashville many of who see her as the right person to fly the flag for their limited-government, low-tax, freedom-fighting programme. The question is, does she want it?

Palin & McCain: The Dynamic Duo Back Together Again

PHOENIX — Sarah Palin and Sen. John McCain plan to campaign together again.

The Arizona Republican announced Wednesday that the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate will join him in Phoenix on March 26 to help campaign for his re-election to the U.S. Senate.

Palin is scheduled to attend a private fundraising event that evening. The next day, she and McCain will appear together at a public event, likely a rally, according to McCain spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan.

“I’m looking forward to getting back on the campaign trail with my former running mate, and I know my fellow Arizonans will welcome her, as well,” McCain said in a statement. “Sarah energized our nation and remains a leading voice in the Republican Party.”

Since their failed bid for the White House, McCain and Palin have had a couple of public appearances together, including a dinner in Washington. But the March events will mark the first time the pair will be on the campaign trail together since 2008, Buchanan said.

Palin has criticized McCain’s campaign since their loss, saying in her book “Going Rogue” that there was substantial tension between her advisers and McCain’s. She also details how she was prevented from delivering a concession speech in Phoenix on Election Night, and how she’d been kept “bottled up” from reporters during the campaign.

Palin hasn’t criticized McCain himself, and the senator has stood by his decision to choose Palin as his running mate and has staunchly defended her.

Earlier this month, McCain refused to discuss material in “Game Change,” a book that says Palin’s vetting was “hasty and haphazard.”

“I wouldn’t know,” McCain said on NBC’s “Today” show. “The fact is, I’m proud of Sarah Palin and I’m proud of the campaign she waged. She energized our party.”

During the interview, McCain predicted Palin will be a “major player” in GOP affairs.

Sarah Palin Steps Down As Governor

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has resigned from office.

She is turning over power to Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell.

In a farewell speech Sunday in Fairbanks, she warned against big government but gave few clues about her long-term political plans.

Palin was a relative political unknown a year ago when Republican presidential candidate John McCain selected her to be his running mate. The partisan election created problems for Palin when she returned to Alaska.

Her once congenial relationship with lawmakers soured, and Palin became the target of nearly 20 ethics complaints.

She cited the resulting investigation’s financial toll as the main reason she was quitting 17 months before her term was complete.

Personally, I think she is prepping for a 2012 presidential run.

Sarah Palin Calls It Quits…

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin shocked the political word Friday afternoon by announcing that she will step down at the end of the month and transfer power to Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell.

Palin made the surprise announcement from her home in Wasilla, flanked by her husband, Todd, and family and state commissioners.

“I never believed that I nor anyone else needs a title to do this, to make a difference,” she said. “I’m determined to take the right path for Alaska, even though it is unconventional and it’s not so comfortable.”

Parnell will be inaugurated at the governor’s picnic in Fairbanks at the end of the month, Palin said.

One has to ask why?  It’s gotta be one of two things; she is running for President in 2012 and wants to get a head start, or there is a scandal about to break.

The announcement came on the same week that one of her top public health officials says she was forced out of office because Palin felt she wasn’t in step on social issues. … Continue Reading
