Yep, she continues to frustrate the media more than anything. Poor souls, didn't know where she was headed, caused them to break the law, having to endure an experience described as "harrowing, a rolling menace careening up the East Coast in hot pursuit."

Whaaa.

[tomder55]

Then again there is no urgency for her to tour Iowa now. She's not like the other candidates who have to get name recognition . She already has her organization if she decides to pull the trigger . She may decide to continue to build her IOUs by acting as king maker .

She has time on her side for both 2012 and 2016 .
This idea that one has to be an announced candidate a year and a half before the election is insane anyway. The Iowa caucus is not until Feb 6 and the NH primary isn't until March 5 . She could take the whole summer off ; announce around Labor Day ;and still campaign a half year before the 1st contest.

The other thing is that she takes so much cr@p from the media ,maybe her family doesn't want to deal with it. Already Mitch Daniels has bowed out over similar considerations .

Meanwhile I love the idea that she keeps the baying hounds guessing . So much theater . It keeps this board going too . Over 160 replys to this one posting!! Lol .

You don't know why she ended it and neither do I ;and she is chosing not to say. Perhaps she decided a bus tour though areas of the midwest with severe flooding was not a good idea.

BTW ,you can mock the salmon season all you want. But there are provisions for use it or lose it regarding the territory designated as a license holder of fishing rights at Bristol Bay .The Palins hold a commercial license in a coveted restricted fishing area .

You'd think all these people that hate her but can't stop talking about her might eventually figure out they've been outsmarted by this supposedly dumb woman.

Kind of like all the Obama threads you guys have started? At least the Palin stuff is all in one thread. How about you keep the Obama stuff in one thread?

Apaprently the media is making this up.

Sarah Palin Confirms Tour Will Go National

June 01, 2011 10:12 AM

ABC News' Sheila Marikar (@SheilaYM) reports:

Sarah Palin's northeast tour took to the water this morning as she hit Liberty Island today with her parents and youngest daughter, Piper. They were accompanied by approximately 10 park rangers and police escorts as they made their way to the Statue of Liberty.

It's a scene we'll likely be seeing for some time to come.

Palin confirmed that she's going to Boston after New York and that after the northeast, she'll go back to Alaska before re-launching the tour - called the "One Nation Tour," after all - on the West Coast.

She told ABC News about her plans after she leaves the northeast:

"Go back to Alaska - in fact today, Willow [the middle Palin daughter] already had to get back to work so she had to leave - go back to Alaska, come back on the trail again, and take the tour west as the summer progresses."

Asked if she'll go all over the country, Palin said, "that is our plan, our tentative plan, anyway."

They can't even keep up with her when she tells them what she's going to do.

Hello again,

Palin KNOWS Bachman would kick her butt. They BOTH need the same constituency/Tea Party.. As bonkers as Bachman is, she's at least, a REAL candidate.

I think if Rick Perry gets in you won't see Palin in the race.
You are right that Bachmann has the left nervous.So long as Palin is in the forefront she runs cover for Bachmann. But that's changing since her strong performance in the debate .

Matt Taibee of Rolling Stone has her in his cross hairs.
Michele Bachmann's Holy War | Rolling Stone Politics

He will be salivating over her with Olbermann tonight on Current TV .

[Wondergirl]

Bachmann has the left nervous.

Huh? The Left is hoping she will get the nomination.

Hello again, tom:

When I said she's a REAL candidate, I meant that she has an organization, she knows how to raise money, she HAS experience, and she's a religious zealot which will appeal to early primary voters.. But, I certainly didn't mean the left feared her. Not only is Taibee salivating about her candidacy, the entire left wing is...

PS> I'm bummed. I don't get Current TV.. I'm going to miss the worst. I don't even get HBO in HD. Can you believe it? This IS Seattle, after all.

[tomder55]

I don't either . Cablevision has not added it . It is on satellite Direct TV and Dish network.

I'm sure all the clips will be on YouTube.

Yeah I get it Palin stupid... Bachmann bonkers .

You got to love the way the press thinks.. they've been touting the candidacy of Huntsman because they know another moderate Mormon ,former Governor candidate ,will weaken Romney.

[talaniman]

Huntsman is the only REAL candidate, all the rest are wacko nut jobs except Romney, he is a privileged rich boy that only big business can love, who is taking his just due, because its his turn. That's how Republicans operate, and we have had the lineup for the whole freaking next 20 years.

As for Sarah, She will never get 20% of the vote ever because, as crazy as repubs are, nobody is THAT crazy.

You know what has amused me the last few days? Olby advertising on Fox News.

[tomder55]

Huntsman is the flavor of the month. Lat month it was Daniels.

I like the way he conducted himself as his time as Ambassador to China ended. I thought his stroll with the jasmine protesters was the right action to take.

I'll vote for him over the President if it came to it... but for now ,I'm not looking for the next "no label " candidate.

[talaniman]

It won't be the self proclaimed prophet Rick Perry. Oh and Daniels had to stay home because of the lawsuits over his legislation, and the money he owes for leasing the toll road, he agreed to make up lost revenue, when it floods or they don't make enough money off the truckers. Perry tried to do the same thing, but Texans whapped him over the head for that one, and trying to make preteen girls get cancer shots.That's just a start to what he is about.

The repubs are running out of flavor. But its early yet. Got your popcorn, and comfortable chair? This will be good.

Now Ex how could you say that? You know the 21st century hasn't got beyond the Maryland border. Hey I noticed in BO's little withdrawal speech that he put Pakistan on notice. Won't tolerate a safehaven for terrorists. Now that is 21st century rhetoric. Isn't that the justification for invading Afghanistan and maybe Iraq. Could be those troops are coming home via Pakistan
