GOP watch: Palin to Iowa next month?

First Read has learned that Sarah Palin could be heading to Iowa on Nov. 21 to be the featured speaker at the Iowa Family Policy Center’s fall fundraiser.

Here's the take from TheIowaRepublican.com: “In an ironic twist, Palin’s appearance would occur just across the street from the Iowa Democratic Party’s Jefferson Jackson Dinner, which will be held at Hy-Vee Hall. The Iowa Family Policy Center was originally scheduled to hold its event at Hy-Vee Hall, but IFPC was asked to relocate once the Iowa Democratic Party confirmed Vice President Biden as its keynote speaker. As a consolation, the Iowa Events Center reportedly offered IFPC Action the 16,000 seat Wells Fargo Arena at a greatly reduced rate.”

Hey FR, why not just get a gps chip installed in Palin? That way you can track her where-abouts 24/7.

Seriously, has anyone noticed how civil Pat from Boston has been lately......Thanks

Anita and Eric have finally saw the light about their liar in chief and have quit posting......... now if feisty would just get her head out of her butt and take a look at what bama is about maybe she could post something intelligent.

Probably not going to happen though.

Another news cycle, another Silly Sarah comment. Who says she is not running for President? Keep running Sarah. We will donate to your campaign. You will be the easiest candidate for President Obama to beat.

Will folks at the IFPC fundraiser be able to ask Sarah Palin why she QUIT?

You people still don't get it. She's not running for President in '12 or '16 or ever; she wants money. She didn't want the responsibility of being Alaska Gov--what makes you think she wants the scrutiny/responsibity of being POTUS. It's about the money now; thanks to John McCain, she hit the lottery.

And don't forget to berate Obie at every chance.
And that Botox pig, Pelosi.

We're with you all the way, Sarah.

Pete has a real problem with Sarah.

There's meds for that, you jackass.

My Question is, why is the republican party getting behind a uneducated, out of touch, piece of trailer trash, that quit her job to write a book and make money.
this is the problem with the republicans, why.
ronald reagan, ford, nixion, as much as i did not like these guys, would never have any thing to do with this person.
its clear she is doing this not for her party but for her bank account. she goes on SNL and makes a fool of her self, she ties to go against her running mate during the election.

my question to republican is why!!!!!

Well, if Palin does run for 2012 and win the nomination, then that would give Obama another 4 years in office. I don't know what more Palin can offer now than she could then when she was the VP nominee. She was a governor, but she didn't complete the term. Was there some great policy formulation that I missed that isn't previously mentioned Republican dogma? I'd like to give this woman a chance to get something positive here or there, but it is real hard.

The unemployed Former Governor of Alaska is able to trapse all over the country. How nice, but who is paying for it? Does the former First Dude of Alaska make enough doing whatever it is he does to support the family, including grandson, and still have enough for Sinister Sister Sarah to gallivant around spouting her vile hate filled message? Inquiring minds want to know.
