The GOP had better get it together! Sarah “Moose Shooter” Palin is “going rogue” and making her way across America on a bus tour along the East Coast starting Memorial Day weekend. This raises more speculation that she is, indeed, going through with her bid for the Republican Presidential Nominee.
“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,” said Tim Crawford, treasurer of Palin’s fundraising group, SarahPAC. “The tour will originate in Washington DC and will proceed north up the east coast. More information will follow.”
Palin will kick things off Sunday by taking part in the “Rolling Thunder” motorcycle ride — comprised mainly of U.S. veterans of the Vietnam War — that begins at the Pentagon and concludes at the Vietnam Memorial on the National Mall.
And while the external indicators suggest that Palin is increasingly serious about running for president, her aides caution privately against jumping to any conclusions.
But the evidence is beginning to stack up. Foremost is the news, first reported late Tuesday by Real Clear Politics, that Palin has authorized a full-length, two-hour film focusing largely on her record as governor of Alaska. The movie, produced by conservative filmmaker Stephen Bannon, will premiere in Iowa about a month from now, and then will be shown in New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina — the first four states to vote in the GOP primary.
Wait a damn minute?! She gave the wink and nod to a movie about herself that will only air in the first four states that will vote in the Republican Primary? Wow! Next time, don’t try too hard to mask your agenda.
And Palin is also reported to have bought a $1.7 million home in Scottsdale, Arizona, which would give her a base of operations much more conducive to domestic travel than her current home in Alaska.
The GOP official portrayed Palin’s impact as mostly negative.
“The mainstream media hate her but love covering her, and everyone in the field would find themselves constantly being asked if they agree with what Palin just said,” said a GOP strategist. “On top of that, her supporters are intensely loyal and teeming in the blogosphere, which can be a source of distraction in the debate.”
It sounds like Palin is riding the coattails of celebrity to win all those “Joe Sixpack” votes in the primary. And if she happens to be nominated, the super-duper senior community college grad will have to debate Harvard Law School Alumnus Obama, so she better do some studying up. SMH … This should be interesting.
