Conservative Fever Builds for Palin Book Tour
Tuesday, 23 Nov 2010 10:09 AM
Ultra-conservative powerhouse Sarah Palin kicks off a tour to promote her
second book in as many years Tuesday as part of a media blitz ahead of a
possible White House bid.

"America By Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith, and Flag" promises to be
filled with the folksy wisdom that won Palin a massive and adoring fan base,
many of whom are expected to line up for hours for the chance to get a book
signed.
palin, book, tour, feverIt is billed as a tribute to veterans, hunting and
the Tea Party her publishers say will read "like a bible of American virtues
for anyone hoping to understand the truths that lie at the heart of the
nation."
Palin launches her 16-stop book tour in Phoenix, Arizona -- the hometown of
former Republican presidential nominee John McCain, who faced a tough
challenge in his primary election from a Tea Party candidate.
The bookstore is expecting a massive crowd for the 6:00 pm signing and has
advised customers that only a limited number will be allowed in on a first-
come, first-served basis.
"We have to know what makes America exceptional today more than ever because
it is under assault today more than ever," Palin wrote in an excerpt posted
on her Facebook page.
The former governor of Alaska burst onto the national stage in 2008 when
McCain tapped her to be his running mate.
Despite mockery throughout the 2008 campaign for her lack of experience and
awkward speech patterns, Palin commanded America's attention after her
election defeat, becoming a celebrity force that now threatens to swamp
other candidates.
Her "Going Rogue" memoir, published after she resigned from the governor's
office, was the nation's bestselling nonfiction book last year.
And while she shunned the "lamestream media" after being battered in early
interviews, the photogenic Palin has not shied away from less conventional
media appearances, now involving her family.
A reality show called "Sarah Palin's Alaska" recently launched on the TLC
network, featuring the family fishing, kayaking, bear-watching and relaxing
in their tiny hometown of Wasilla.
Her daughter Bristol has made it to the finals on the hit ABC show "Dancing
with the Stars," buoyed by public support in defiance of judges' skepticism
about her dance floor talents.
A frequent commentator on Fox News, Palin's prominence grew as the
conservative Tea Party movement gained momentum this year amid the deepest
economic downturn in decades.
Her reputation as a political kingmaker has solidified with several of the
upstart Tea Party candidates she endorsed romping to victory in the November
2 mid-term elections.
She commands massive speaking fees -- reportedly as high as 100,000 dollars
a piece -- and her political action committee is said to have raised more
money than all but one of the potential Republican White House contenders.
Yet the polarizing populist is no favorite of the Republican establishment,
which has watched with dismay as Palin and her fellow Tea Party insurgents
became increasingly powerful players.
Feisty former first lady Barbara Bush took aim at Palin, offering a
backhanded compliment before delivering a zinger.
"I sat next to her once. Thought she was beautiful," the 85-year-old told
CNN in an interview alongside her husband ex-president George H.W. Bush.
"And she's very happy in Alaska -- I hope she'll stay there."
Amid growing speculation about her political motives, Palin told ABC News
she is seriously considering running for the 2012 elections and could beat
President Barack Obama.
The former beauty queen -- who came in third in the 1984 Miss Alaska pageant
-- likens herself and other conservative female politicians up and down the
country to "mama grizzlies... tough, serious, formidable."
"The women's groups and mainstream media have greeted the rise of the
conservative mama grizzlies in much the same way they treated the vice-
presidential campaign in 2008: with disbelief that people so alien to them
could win the support of the American people," she wrote.
"Back then, left-wing feminists didn't know what to make of an Alaskan chick
out on the campaign trail talking about the Second Amendment, kids (the
more the merrier!) and America's urgent need for greater security through
energy independence.
"Today, left-wing feminists and their allies seem to be similarly perplexed,
" she added.
Palin heads to Oklahoma on Friday, followed by appearances in Nebraska, Iowa
, Kansas, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and
South Carolina. | A*********f

As much as I want Obama to go away in 2012, I don't think Palin is the
person for the job. If she gets the GOP nomination, Obama would have a
much better chance of winning, kind of like how Bush beat Al Gore and John
Kerry. And her recent activities (reality show, dancing with the star,
calling north Korea ally ... ) are really not helping

that is good enough. all a president needs to do is to defend the
Constitution. Actually all a government needs to do is to defend the
constition.
That is what the next election is going to be about. I dont anything wrong
with Palin.

Doesn't matter whether she has common sense or not, although she's got a
lot of supporters, there are also a lot of people who don't like her, even
among GOP supporters she's a polarizing figure.

but who has the highest electability. Palin is a great person, but she is
just too much like a girl next door.

发帖数: 2406 | 8 Principles are principles.
The GOP lost people's trust exactly because the establishment compromised on
principles of samll government and
personal responsibility. Unless there is an candidate that is as
uncompromising as Palin, Palin should win. Please
don't give me the other few established front runners who have proven
themselves to be ready to sell out our
principles the minute they think it makes them more ELECTABLE! I don't want
to name names, but you know who
they are. There is no difference between a big government and a smaller but
still big government.
Go, conservative principles!
