Palin lays groundwork for 2012 presidential bid (3)
Sarah Palin, John McCain’s polarising running-mate in his doomed presidential bid, is discreetly putting down markers for a 2012 run of her own, in a low-key tour of the US this week.
The Alaska Governor joined an autism charity’s fundraising march in upstate New York yesterday, one of a number of small-scale events designed to cast her as a serious political figure and erase memories of the national lampooning she suffered as the Republican presidential campaign fell apart last year.
As well as associating herself with soft causes, she will reprise a key campaign theme, scattering the week with meetings to discuss energy independence and press for more oil drilling.
At one event in Auburn, New York, over the weekend, Palin was greeted by the crowd with a revised version of her campaign-trail mantra of “Drill, baby, drill”. As she arrived on the podium, the 20,000-strong audience erupted in a chant of “Run, Sarah, run.”

Male, retired and the rest is of little interest to anyone. The site keeps me busy and if it helps others to stay abreast of daily events then my time is well spent.

Governor Palin is not a quitter, the smug msm thought she would shrivel up and go hide in Alaska – the msm thought they would stop this courageous woman; wrong they were and are – Governor Palin was the only Republican to call the Zero out on the mat and expose his egregious behavior and mind-set for all to see…as the Zero heads for negative status, Governor Palin’s words will be remembered by the American people. I will be cheering for Governor Palin and hoping, for my American friends, that they have the good sense to elect a winner. Governor Palin is a patriot and she would grow America, even if the American people allow Obahama to bring this great nation to it’s knees.
Where is that birth certificate, Mr. B. Hussein Obama?

Sarah Palin wasn’t afraid to kick butt and take names, even within her own party. She is a force to be reckoned with. In Alaska she took on the oil companies and the old boys network and won, she realizes she’s working for all the people.
