Palin will launch a nationwide bus tour this Sunday
DES MOINES, Iowa -- In a move designed to propel her closer to a presidential run, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will set out on a bus tour of the country on Sunday, making stops at symbolic sites along the way.

"Starting this weekend, Sarah Palin will embark on a ‘One Nation' tour of historical sites that were key to the formation, survival, and growth of the United States of America," SarahPAC treasurer Tim Crawford said in a statement to RealClearPolitics. "The tour will originate in Washington, D.C. It will proceed north up the east coast."

Details were still being hammered out on Thursday, but sources indicated to RCP that the bus tour is expected to last several weeks and will be divided into separate geographical stretches for logistical reasons.

2. Palin was able to pick it up cheap
I can hardly wait for the visual when her bus inevitably breaks down.

3. I still don't think she will run.
She is making a movie about herself, and I have a feeling this bus tour is all about leading the dimwits that lover her so much on so they will go see the movie and she can make some more money! She is a grifter, pure and simple and she will con those gullible enough to think she should be president as long as they are willing to fork out the money!

Now I could be wrong, but with the new book out by one of her former aids, I don't really think she wants to be defending the fact he stated she used to write "letters to the editor" for different newspapers and get people who worked for her to send them in for her. I am sure there are a whole lot of other things that will also come out, but you never know, she may feel that getting money to run from donors and then finding ways to funnel that money into family accounts would pay off big enough to actually try a run. After all she is crazy as hell!

6. I think you are correct....and even Donald Trump could learn some publicity lessons from her....
Why in the world would he already take himself out of the race?? He could have strung it out for at least another 6 months like she's going to.

4. Can we start a pool on how long before she decides to cut the tour short?
I can't imagine she's going to finish a bus tour that lasts "several weeks".

8. Where's that Bible Museum? Where was it that god set down the Constitution? And what about
the site where Raygun defeated Communism? Will all those sites be on her tour?

9. Palin on a bus?? Like last time?
Remember she flew from place to place and would meet up with the bus :)

She is so profoundly artificial.

10. The article says Ms. WolfKiller will have her family with her.
Edited on Thu May-26-11 02:11 PM by PearliePoo2
THIS coming from the sarcastic fraud who constantly whines, "Leave my kids alone"?
She doesn't seem to have a problem dangling them out there as props 24/7 when it suits her purpose.
Wonder if she will have toddler Trig with her this time?
He's much too big now for her to pack on her hip or hold him skyward like a trophy to her adoring, mouth-breathing, moronic fans.
The last video I saw, he was being carried by a family friend and when Sarah reached out to him, he arched his back and wildly flailed his little arms.
What does THAT tell you? (poor little guy)

edit spelling.

12. What if no one cares?
This is one of Palin's signature attention grabbing productions. She's taking her reality show on the road.

President? I think she could be drafted, but I don't think she's especially serious about a run this cycle, and I don't the the GOP power structure is particularly supportive of the idea, either. I'd be willing to bet she'll be a no show.
