Palin At the Iowa Republican Ronald Reagan Dinner."This nonsense like today we see California auditors having to admit that there in L.A. there were a handful of jobs created with your stimulus money, about 50 some jobs to the tune of $111 million dollars, that's about $2.2 million dollars for every job saved or created there, and I'm the idiot? Hmmm, yeah"
Desmoines Register
Sarah Palin offered a full-throated call to arms for angry and out-of-power Republicans on Friday in front of an audience of some of the nation's most influential party activists as the headliner for a sold-out Iowa GOP fundraiser in Des Moines.
But the former Alaska governor only winked at the significance of her appearance in the state where the campaigns for the lead off presidential caucuses are expected to crank up in a matter of months.
Palin joked after taking the stage at Hy-Vee Hall that her husband, Todd, urged her to work out inside after they arrived in Des Moines on Friday.
"Todd says, 'I guarantee, if anyone spots you in tennis shoes, the headline is going to be in Vanity Fair. They're going to say, "Palin in Iowa, decides to run," Palin said.
Later, Palin batted away the buzz that confronted her in Iowa, urging the roughly 1,500 guests to focus on the election that's now less than seven weeks away.
"We can't wait until 2012 to get our country back on the right track," she said. "We need to start now by electing strong Republican leaders who aren't afraid to shake it up."- Entire column
Blog author's comments -I believe this was a good speech from Sarah Palin. I listened to her during the 2008 campaign and was able to meet her at a fundraiser I attended. I was impressed with the talk she gave at the fundraiser, but she is now much better, polished and confident.
That said, she has retained her freshness and does not sound to me like the typical ‘politician’. This is why her poll numbers continue to rise, even with the constant hit pieces from almost everyone on the left.
If she decides not to run for office again, she has become an excellent spokesperson for a conservative movement in the country. She is the type of person that is needed in our party and government. If the Republicans do prevail in 2010 and 2012, there will be a place for Palin in Washington if she desires it.
Hopefully it is not too late for a Republican push to regain the House, Senate and win the 2012 presidential election. I see much more liberalism in the country and these people will do whatever it takes to hang on to what they believe is rightfully theirs. The Democrats cannot be allowed to control our government and our lives.
