Palin Goes Behind Enemy Lines

Starting Sunday, Sarah Palin enters enemy territory.

The bus tour that stands to return her to the 2012 spotlight is taking her to the part of the country that’s the least friendly to her — the northeastern U.S.

It’s a part of the country she’s mostly avoided since 2008, conspicuously not setting foot in early presidential state New Hampshire at all during her two book tours and her 2010 tea party campaign swings.

she is certainly determined to make an ever bigger ass of her self
I got to give her that if one thing makes a good politician that is it
shes almost likable in that respect
I would not want her for pres or vice or secretary of state
but maybe some panel that decides school lunch policy or fitness
shed be a hoot teamed up with Richard Simmons and at the same time with Tom Selleck in the NRA
she is going to find her place no doubt
it just wont be Penn.Ave or on any important committee of policy making
and she knows it
Nascar america just hasn't caught on yet

I would rather have her for President than Obama. At least she would stand up for America. She would try to keep our reputation as the Greatest nation in the world. Now that Obama is trying to make us into a third world country.
