I love all the hysterical women who are all for partial birth abortions but are worried about wolves . . . .

Yeah - kinda boggles the imagination when it come to the intelligence level of Liberals, doesn't it ! And kinda makes you wonder what they think when they stuff their gut with that Big Mac!

Gov. Palin is neither moral or intelligent. She displays her Christian values when it suits her. Let us remember her hate filled speeches, "pallin around with terrorists" and now is lining up, like the other 49 Govenor's wanting part of the stimulus package. It's now suddenly ok to approach President Obama! She is a hypocrite!
This country does not need the likes of Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, etc. etc. etc. – divisive and hateful.
We need a bi-partisianship effort to solve the problems and until everyone agrees that the issues are bigger than their egos, we will continue the down hill slide. Wake up America!

I have to laugh at whomever said Alaska isn't in the red. They are off budget by billions and have to dive into their savings. That is because the budget was based on Sarah's wrong numbers......

What?????????????? Why?????????????? Sarah who????????????? What ever!! Go Away Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So funny reading the sheeppleos...lipstick...just remember that and keep leaving your comments!

@Cheryl February 10th, 2009 6:09 pm ET

Cheryl, you make a contradiction. You state we need to discuss facts, not hurtful words. You try to play the 'shame on you' card by saying she is a Daughter, Wife, Mother, etc.....

But truthful words are: She is a bad wife, a bad mother, a bad elected official (abuse of power) and a bad person (racist, she looks good in the white hood though). She's anti american as is her husband and his 'let's leave america' group affiliation.

Sorry if the truth hurts, but unfortunately, when we talk the truth about Palin, only hurtful words apply, but not in the spirit of being hurtful, simply facts.

And we should care? Some how some way these extreme conservative personalities need to realize that no one... except the white sheet/cone hat crowd really gives a flip what they think or want! Some how they have this ridulous attitude that they are still realitive!

Go away Rush, Newt, Ann, and all the other pitifully delusional freak show... actually side show... you are a three ring circus... and no one really cares anymore.... well, maybe SNL... pretty good fodder for them.... *LOL*

Professional liberal blogger alert!
If the name "Palin" is in the article, they're here and ready to collect their check (part of the stimulus bill).
)

And we should care? Some how some way these extreme conservative personalities need to realize that no one... except the white sheet/cone hat crowd really gives a flip what they think or want! Some how they have this ridulous attitude that they are still realitive!

I like Sarah Palin; she reminds me why I'm not Pro-Choice, but Pro-Abortion...

The less we hear about Sarah the better. She's just another neocon, except she's also a few cups short of a tea set. Look where this ideology, without regard to reality, has gotten us; and they want to dig us in deeper! Go away, and read each others' books, and leave real Americans alone.

May God give all the red state morons all that they wish on everyone else. I think that will make the world a better place. God knows what horrible things they come up with.
They would rather nation build Iraq than build American. 3 Trillion in nation building Iraq and the stimulus is too big, talk about anti American, buy American to rebuild the roads no way the red morons like free trade. How did they hijack patriotism??? They are the real un- Americans and retarded to boot.

We are doomed...just listen to yourselves (Palin haters)...and she never did anything to anyone of you. And you wonder why we will never come together. And by the way...I would love to have given her a chance to be VP...just as I have no problem with O'bama being President with no experience and Joe Biden...(a tongue and cheek kind of guy) being VP.

Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter.

Who is the DJ,
Lawrence Welk

She is not going because she will get lost among those who are going. The novelty is wearing off and her appeal is among that narrow band of Republicans that are based in the South and rural areas. As a national candidate she has no broad appeal. Too bad, because she belongs next to Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter, except that they have the conservative rap down pat, and she does not.

Fair opinion for Sarah Palin form DEM:

I used to think Sarah Palin was dumb. But after her debating the skillful debator Joe B., I CHANGED MY MIND about her immediately. I thought she learnt so quick and so brilliant. Too sad the MSM trashed her (yet she was so gracious.)

I am not sure about her political future, but I do think she will accomplish a lot if given a chance. She has experience in governing. BTW, she is good at campaigning too. I like see her in the campaign trail. I never pay attention to any REP. candidate. I changed when Sarah Palin was on the stage.

I will not vote for HIM AGAIN, that's for sure.

Let's see – Gingrich is a serial adulterer. Limbaugh is a drug addict. Coulter is being investigated for voter fraud.

I just don't understand why she would not want to "pal around" with that group

Maybe she has finally figured it out that her time is over. That she was just a flash in the pan.

Gathering of the KKK, ah, what a bright new vision for the future of the Republicans. Who wouldn't want Rush and Coulter representing them, they are the voice of inclusion after all. Maybe Sarah isn't going because she finally realizes these people are whack jobs and won't help anyone win.

So, Macie, Having read your post, I think I understand why you think Palin is awesome. By the way, it is hatemongers, not hate mongrels.

A hate monger is one who incites others to hatred or prejudice.
Hatemongrels is not in the dictionary.
A mongrel is an individual resulting from the interbreeding of diverse breeds or strains.

I'm thinking Palin was one or the other during the campaign.
Ditto Obama, and by his own words. Gotta luv him.

this are the rasict club people that are ready to divide us

MARK IN FL...someone in sf is right by suggesting your offensive suggestion of having palin as gov of our state. 1st of all we pronounce the i-n-g at the end of the necessary words and second, our economy, culture, and politics would be mind-blowing for her narrow vision mind. not even in the 1950s could she have worked as governor of CA. don't talk stupid, ok?

And here I was, hoping that she was announcing that she was going to retire from politics.

Oh well.

Oh for goodness sake. Please stop giving any time to Palin. Her 15 minutes of fame were over a long time ago. She is like a bad joke being repeated by a 3rd grader over and over and over again!

Attention: Chaco – AYE, AYE, AYE, AYE!!!

If politics weren't so nasty, maybe you'd find more decent people running for office. Everyone has something, somewhere that they have not been proud of. What is important is that we recognize what would make a person want to be humiliated enough to try. Personal attacks are counterproductive and usually mean that the person making them is hurting and has a problem in the area of their own self-esteem. Why do we attack someone for just being human? Would we want someone that isn't human to make desicions for us?
Ask yourself, How would someone who is perfect view you?

key words " the headline attraction". which leads me to ask why is this woman such a novelty?

If and Ever Sarah Palin becomes the US President, She will Introduce New Wolf Hunting Techniques, “US AIR FORCE F-18 FIGHTER JETS WOLF HUNTING”..... Ha Ha Ho Ho, what a Circus she would Create.....

Wow, when so many people are reading and posting about Sarah Palin, why would CNN stop reporting on her?

The less we see and hear about Palin the better. You don't hear much from "W". She should follow his lead. Go Home and Stay There!

it's not "hate mongrels" it's HATE MONGERS... like fishmongers, you know? but hate, instead of fish.

She shat bricks.

Oh my God.... a convention with Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin!! What kind of snake oil tent do they use?

"Yes, I'll have a hit of Limbaugh Oxycontin and a Coulter Chablis...."

Hey Macie .... DUH?

What a scintillating headline.

Very enticing for a story that is just plain dull.

Good job editorial staff! This is the exact reason, I am a CNN fan.

Thank GOD, please just stay home and fix Alaska's economy.

GO AWAY. Thanks.

Stop worrying about Palin...You are the ones making her more important..any story on Palin and you jump on it.

@ NOBAMA

lol keep dreaming!!!

Attention...my fellow democrats and liberals...stop worrying about Sarah Palin...You complain that she is always in the news...but you can't stop hating her every time a story comes out. You are the problem. The more you hate Palin, the more her supporters love her...I am even starting to like her because you guys knock her every move...which is unfair..she has done some things that should be applauded.

this are the rasict club

She's going to pal around with the likes of Limbaugh and support the "I want him to fail" CRAP.

You Betcha.

Nancy Pelosi is a terrible speaker.

What are you all afraid of? Why are you so threatened by her? You have nothing better to do than bash a woman who actually has a conscience and really cares about the country. You should be more worried about the big hole of pork that Obama is going to bury us in. I don't think even our great grandchildren will be able to dig out of that one.

@ RAY....... please get a grip. Palin is an idiot, whose 5 minutes of fame were up several months ago.

She is a mean-spirited, divisive, hate-fear-monger. She spewed hate and lies in the last few months of the campaign.

For so-called Christian woman, Palin seemed to have forgotten one of the Ten Commandments, "DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS....." Insinuating that Obama was a "terrorist" and inciting her "crowds" anger and hate is just plain UNChristian!

Palin for president? Hell NO!

Sarah may be an Airhead Diva, but she won't risk matching wits with Newt Gingrich, Ann Coulter, and Mitt Romney.

The reality is that most people know that not one soul with hate in their hearts for the opposition will attend the CPA Conference. Only good, true Americans belong to the Republic [sic] Party. Sarah told us that! Maybe even turkeys and wolves know that.

Palin.....please just go away

NOBAMA are you just mad because President Obama's ideas might work and some of your fellow Americans might be able to get a job, keep their homes and feed their families?

The woman is a loon.

It's her turn for guard duty. Someone has to keep an eye on Russia. I believe we call this Fire Guard Duty.

SARAH ! SARAH ! SARAH !

Smart lady...she may be somewhat goofy but she ain't dumb. To be seen with that crew is like walking into hell will gasoline underwear on!!

Hey Mark in FL – so Sarah Palin was able to balance a budget of a couple of billion? Big deal! Please don't insult Californians by saying that Palin could run our state. It's much too close to a real executive job for her.

And yes, we're seriously in the red. But mostly because we have jobs that people want and places where people want to live, so our budget feels it when income and property tax revenue drops. Can't say as much for Alaska.

Gingrich, Coulter, Limbaugh and Palin all together! Wow, that would have been a real foot-stompin' yee-haw rebel yell ho-down for the yokels!! They will all sing the "He's closing down the concentration camp and stopping torture" blues. And darn that magic negro for messing up our Republican economic catastrophe!

They could call it the Pay-No-Attention-To-The-Last-Eight-Years-We're-Always-Right Poison-O-Rama!

Sarah.........who
OMG

Can you imagine....

Palin, Limbaugh, Coulter, Gingrich.....wasn't there a song resembling this cast.....

"The freaks come out at night"

She's didn't mind leaving her state and her staff to the "wolves" while she played "Candidate" so why isn't she going to this?

Maybe she's not welcome.

She is afraid of Ashley Judd's animal rights group protesting at the event!

Behold a republican conservative party being held by top republican conservatives...

A book writer, a talk radio host, and a commentator on fox news
these 3 are the make up of the conservative republican party. their words are golden.

Meanwhile the liberals have all their leaders in congress and government.

She probably wants to be standing at the finish line when the First Dude wins his 5th snowmobile race. That's waaaaay more important than governing.

Anyone else read macie's comment on here and dub her Miss Hypocrite 2009?

A WHOLE LOTTA GOP STAR POWER IN ONE ROOM IS MORE THAN SARAH PALIN CAN HANDLE

With Newt 'The Brains' Gingrich, and Rush 'The Fat Idiot' Limbaugh, and Ann 'The Devil' Coulter, and Mike 'Slick Willy' Huckabee, and Mitt 'The Plastic' Romney at the same conference, , , , then what is a Sarah 'The Airhead Diva' Palin suppose to do.

I wonder how she handles the fact that Michael Steele is now the RNC Chair. After all her vitriolic hate-speech directed at now-Pres. Obama during the hate rallies that campaign events she spoke at turned into...must really get under her skin that a dignified, very intelligent African American man is now the Chair of her party. Must get under her skin, redneck racist bigot that she is. Perhaps we should call her and those like her "small-its"–cause there's nothin' big about 'em.

lol, this lady neber gives up,, she just wants attention,, umm er husband must not be fullfillin his duty,,lol, shes such a loser, wow,,,

Really who cares what Palin is doing. She still wants to be in the limelight.

Gosh darnit . . . say it ain't so, Joe!

This would be like The Little Shop of Horrors...Limbaugh and Coulter together! I can smell it all the way down here.

"Domino" CNN My Yorkshire Terrier, would knock the Spot off them...

Sera Palin will be the next President of the USA. An answer fron the creater or the universe.

Macie,

If you think Palin is intelligent, you must have quit school in the fourth grade.

Palin should be on Jay Leno's JayWalking all stars. She would get the award for the most uninformed person ever to be on that show.

Palin's lack of intelligence and her inability to do any cognitive processing is frightening.

I am sure McCain thinks about how she lost the election for him every night before he goes to bed.

she can't attend,her translator is busy that nite.

It's 'cause she's a Maverick doncha know.

YESSSS!
Now if only the other 'conservative' idiots would stay home and do something productive for America just once in their lifetime, I would find peace. Deep in their protective trenches, they aim and fire at anyone who slightly disagrees with their twisted evil thoughts.
Buggers....... not intelligent nor honest leaders. These people are not what made America once a great nation, nor can their vomit restore it to greatness again.

TO ALL YOU LIBERAL BASHERS....THE ENTIRE WORLD HAS BEEN DEALING WITH YOUR "JESUS ONLY LOVES US CHRISTIANS" POLITICS. YOU ELECTED A REPUBLICAN CONGRESS ( WHICH HAD TO BE FIXED IN 2006) AND EVEN WORSE, PUT THE VILLAGE IDIOT IN THE EXECUTIVE CHAIR. WE WATCHED YOUR POLICIES BE PUT INTO EFFECT AND WATCHED OUR BELOVED US of A DETERIORATE AND HAVE ITS ARMS CUT OFF FROM OUR DECADES LONG ALLIANCES BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO GIVIE A BIG "F-U" TO ANYBODY THAT DIDN'T QUITE AGREE WITH YOU....IT STOPPED ON JAN. 20 AND SO NOW ENJOY THE NEXT 8 YEARS OF INTELLIGENCE, PATIENCE, RATIONALISM AND PEACE-MAKING YOU'RE ABOUT TO WITNESS -JUST LIKE THE 8 YEARS OF MANIPULATION, FEAR, LIES AND HYPOCRISY WE SHAMEFULLY HAD TO SWALLOW.....I SAY 8 YEARS BECAUSE OBAMA WILL BE THERE FOR 8 YEARS. IT TAKES 8 YEARS OF FIXING TO COVER UP 8 YEARS OF BREAKING

How could anyone possibly be a snob FOR Sarah Palin? That's like saying "the rest of you aren't smart enough to step in cow dung, like I am repeatedly. Repeatedly. "

"It is super smart to love cow dung."

Mathew,
What did President Obama lie about?

Palin doesn't need to be there... just having limbaugh and coulter in the same place at the same time already qualifies it as a little piece of hell.

Limbaugh and Coulter at the same event....what a FREAK show!

UH maybe because she has a real job running a state.

Who cares?!?! Isn't her 15 minutes of fame overwith yet?

Palin who???

She's a no show for many of the same reasons that Guiliani was a no show for Iowa and New Hampshire: she will get trounced in the straw poll. Mark this as the beginning of the end of the Palin phenomenon and the start of the beginning of the Romney revolution.

If the Republicans choose Palin as their 2012 presidential candidate, the Republican party is finished.

Obama is going to fix the economy in the next couple of months. He's also going to cure cancer and aids in the next three months..I don't know where we would be without President Obama!! The one thing I do know is that everything that goes right in the next four years will all be due to Obama but if anything goes wrong you can bet President Bush is to blame!!

This is a good move. Considering the line up, she probably wants to distance herself from the OxyRush and Ann the Stick.

You gotta love those Conserva-tards, they have their butts handed to them and they still march bullheaded to their failed ideology.

Guess now that she has Sarah PAC, she needn't be concerned about those OTHER PAC's...too bad, really, that would have been a great thing to just put all those folks in a big box and ship them off somewhere very, very remote and very, very away from the rest of society.

When will we wise up and get over this person. Have we not had enough of political mind games and brain washing, she is not qualified to be a candidate for any office higher then the one she currently holds and the more she is thrust into the spotlight by republicans the more it confirms the ideals that are a part of the current administration. WAKE UP AMERICA! let's not buy the "Joe Six Pack" bull any longer. It's about time that we starting thinking and not being led around by our noses. call her out for what she is...Unqualified!

She's a neo-conservative. McCain's slogan was "Country First", Palin's is "God First". I don't want this country to turn into Israel. Seperation of Church and State. Against abortions, against gay marriage. She's the person that would benefit from joining the Constitution Party (A 3rd party with far-right views, basically the counterpart of Socialism)

She's pro-life yet she thinks shooting animals from a plane is fine. What a hypocritical b**ch. She has no resentments about taking others' rights away, but when it's her and her husbands, she gets offended. She and MANN Coulter should get hitched.

Ex-Republican? You're a moron. And I pray that you feel like one after that post. /roll eyes. Leave Sarah's children out of your arguments, if you want to sound intelligent. Kthx.

Macie,

What do you mean she wouldn't "hate talk"? That's all I heard her do during the last campaign!

Hee hee. You old school, right wing losers are pathetic. Palin and her "leadership skills", along with her cronies, led us into the biggest disaster in decades. Hope your portfolios drop another 25%. How are you gonna keep up your self centered lifestyles now? Sweet dreams.

We Love You Palin!!!! Stop hating her you Dems; start participating.

Barack is a liar? Now, now little Republican. Put that lip back in. If that's all you can come up with, sweetie, the good ole boys are hurtin'. Are you a bank CEO?

You idiots just don't get it.
I bet John Roberts gets the Oath right when he swears Sarah Palin in as President Jan 20, 2013
2010 election results

Chris Dodd....out
Harry Reid......out
Nancy Pelosi....no longer speaker

LOL SHE'S JUST A JOKE FOR REPS AND DEMS ALIKE.

There is no point in her going to the CPAC.
We all know she will be able to see the proceedings from her front porch.
You Betcha!

The fact that any of the prospective 2012 Republican presidential candidates would speak at an event with Coulter & Limbaugh, the Laurel & Hardy of hatred and intolerance, cements my vote against every single one of them.

Palin aside, seriously people have guts and say it out you are Anti-Obama because drum roll please Yes he is black and the thought of having black leader kills you. Where were you so called Americans when Bush and Cheney not the middle eastern or the blacks/minorities put our country in debt. Wake up America screw the last 8yrs lets focus on our future..and enjoy clean air..

Given that we are learning that people in rural Alaska are quite literally starving to death this winter, maybe, just maybe, Palin is focusing on the state she's supposed to be running. I'm no fan, I'm just saying that she might actually have a conscience. Or, maybe she had another cocktail party to attend. Take care of Alaska, Sarah!

Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter AND Sarah Palin in one room? A laser beam concentration of hate.

you know what! i wouldn't consider rush limbaugh a conservative icon. he's no different with a terrorist. isn't it that he wants president obama to fail? terrorist wanted to see america suffer. limbaugh is wishing the same thing.

Hooray for Palin! She helped to defeat McSame! YOU BETCHA BY GOSH BY GOLLY! She can be the Republican's "Joe Six Pack" for the rest of her days. PALIN 2012! (Republican's view of Palin: She shore is purdy fer a politishun. )

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?

As an Alaskan any of you who want her can have her. It goes both ways alot of stuff you here about her is and isn't true. One thing about her is her rise to power. She did it by stabbing people in her way in the back. She didn't need to do that because any of us with a brain already new what was going on. Think what you want about her people either way. All I know is i'll always vote against her and never believe a word she says.

Again, Who cares about this women.

Who cares?

Sarah WHO ?

What a relief! I wish she would go hide under a rock for about five years. What a pain Palin has been! I wish that John McCain had not brought her into the spotlight.

Maggie, it would help if you learned to spell. There is no such word as "dificient". It's deficient. Your posting contains other spelling errors as well as some syntactical mistakes. You cannot write English and are clearly as uneducated as Palin. She can't spell or construct a coherent and grammatically correct sentence either – and you want THAT level of intelligence in the White House!!! I certainly don't.

I tried, but you censored it.

To Matthew from Detroit:

It is apparent that your distaste for Obama goes past his policies. You use very sterotypical language that could make many feel as though you dislike our current president is because he is Black. Using terms like lazy can help to reduce your credibility and integrity, which at this point is next to nothing. Please go crawl back to the hell hole you came from unless you can produce constructive comments that have something to do with our current presidents policies. He is making every effort to bring the American people into the discussion, something W never did. He is trying to make sure everyone know the severity of the problem and explain that his solution is better than no solution at all.

CNN, please stop parading this woman around in front of us. This piece is about something she is not going to do. That is not news.That's like reporting that it's not going to rain in the desert.

I wonder what it must be like in the liberal world where all you have to do is mention the name "Palin" or "Limbaugh" and people start to form at the mouth in hate, fear, and loathing. Hell, I don't even feel that way about Hillary!

Any party that considers ann coulter anything more than a racist scum PIG is NOT an American party. The republicans seem to act as though they can not figure out WHY the American people CRUSHED them in the last election, well guys FYI its because you embrace such slime as coulter and limbaugh. The American people have spoken really loudly, those kind of jokes of people are NOT welcome in our country, and as long as you right wing NUTS support them, you will NEVER EVER be back in power. Its SICK that people actually still think like those two scums of the earth!

SHE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A CARTOON. RUSH LIMBAUGH IS NO BETTER..........

Matthew of Detroit is a nobody! Fact!

WOW these people post here and talk about hste for Sarah Palin when there is hate DAILY for president Obama from you on the right on every story printed here. The right can sure dish it out but when thrown back at them they cry like newborns.

Good, now just back out of politics and public life in general. That's putting the "Country First"

I am looking forward to VH1's "Where are they now" Sarah Palin episode... hopefully it will be funny to look back at these times from the future. I am guessing she will be working in a pizza parlor somewhere in Alaska by the time the episode airs.

Gee wiz golly Sarah, with the likes of Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and the ever ultraconservative ultrajudgemental ultrahypocritical Rush Limbaugh – why wouldn't you want to attend? Must have a Aerial Wolf Hunt to attend.

macie...
hate MONGRELS???
'nuff said.
lmfao!

GOOD!!! Keep that fool off the mainland...Rush uses up enough space

if brains were dynamite, "Yukon Barbie" couldn't blow her nose.
Right wing cons- you brought this psychotic shrew on yourselves. And you should be grateful they didn't win.

Anybody curious about why the Republican'ts biggest objection in the stimulus was EDUCATIONAL funding?

Now you see why...

She's doing us all a great service by staying in Alaska and keeping an eye on Russia.

Can CNN be done with Sarah Palin? She is so yesterday's barbie. Time to move on CNN. Stop propping up a dead horse.

Check the stories that come out regarding the AG that just 'resigned' – I'll wager he was forced out. Too much negative being printed about him which reflected on her administration and would show a negative on the national scene. The AG gave his soul to her and Todd during the Troopergate Investigation....she cuts folks very easily to whom she has no more need. I can hardly wait for her to fade from the Alaska scene...she is bringing herself and our State nothing but negative thought throughout our nation. Stay home in Wasilla, Sarah, and govern for the rest of your term in good faith, honesty and ethical behavior.

all republicans should burn in hell , these people are obstructionist.

Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter??? These are the leading Conservative lights???? Good luck with that. These people are far outside the mainstream. Coulter is a psychotic fascist. Limbaugh is drug addled.

Amazing the response Palin gets from these kool-aid drinkers. They must really be scared of her to take the time and spew such anonymous hate-filled crap.

So much for the one-America The Chosen One preaches about!

Sure, knock the McCain backers who were acting like fools, but you hypocrites are even worse!

As a DEM who backed McCain, the truth about Palin needs to be spoken.

She is a true reformer.

He has a solid record and experience in governing.

So she wanted to fire her former Bro-in-law for beating her sister up. Big deal! At least she's not a tax scofflaw like several appointees to TCO's administration.

The only reason Palin is slammed so hard by the neo-libs is because she is not Pro-Choice. So what, that is her belief, and it is not wrong, just like the Pro-Choice people are not wrong.

Maybe if some of you ignarant sheep would read creditable sources instead of rumor mills and forums to get your info, you would be better informed.

Knock it off already!

Who cares about this? Why is this even newsworthy???

Always, always, always. If there is a peep in the news about Sarah Palin, CNN puts it on top of the news of the day. The lead item. What is it with you folks? The country is in financial free fall. The President is out talking to the people in Florida . The treasury secretary puts out his plan and all you can talk about is this media hungry woman who looks good and sings the Republican song. The news about her should be at BOTTOM of your news list on this blog. No, you have it on top as if we cared where she goes or what she is saying or doing. Its just another reason for you to show your weakness in the political news division. The "best team in TV?" Thats an absolute laugh. If you were the best, you would be covering the real news.

The only place Palin should be making an appearance is the SPCA !!!!

I cant support Palin because she has been palling around with terrorists lately. That goes beyond naivete...That's just downright dangerous!

What would they need Palin for when party boss Limbaugh is going to be there??!?

"with one organizer's explanation that it would be difficult for the governor to visit in the middle of the state’s legislative session."

Being in the middle of the state’s legislative session sure didn't stop her from going to Washington DC last year with a publicist to put her name in play for the VP slot.

Just another Palin lie.

It's good to see that "The Guardian of the Northern Frontier" is going to do the Governor's work for the State of Alaska!

Someone actually said Palin doesn't do hate talk? Are you serious? Did you not see her giving speeches during the campaign and all the mean nasty stuff she said?? Honey, I am from the South and I know just because you say mean, spiteful stuff with a smile, doesn't make it less mean or less hateful or less spiteful.

Sarah that is the first smart move I seen you make

Who cares! Palin who?

Mark in Fl.....................Alaska may not be in the red, but they are attempting a disaster declaration because people in the northern parts are practically starving due to the early winter and price increases. Palin should have been taking care of her people a long time ago. And THEY are saying this also.

too busy shooting defenseless animals from planes?

I have no idea why anyone with even a small amount of intelligence would support Palin. The comment by Maggie must have been written in a drunken stupor. Palin doesn't even understand tough/difficult concepts. She is a gimmick, with no substance to speak of. Big Mac gambled on her and he crapped out. She is clearly delusional if she really thinks she will even be a top ten contender for President in 2012 (or ever)! Her and her husband should go with their original plan to help Alaska Secede from the United States! Oh that’s right, she never had to answer to why her hubby was part of an organization that supported that concept.

Would everyone who would like to stop seeing small-time articles about Sarah Palin please type 'Aye'.

AYE!!

What a pathetic line-up! Rush, the comedian , Coultergeist and Gingrich. If Sarah can't go, maybe Billo the Clown could fill in? Sorry, I'm a fugitive from another cable newsshow.

I love all the hysterical women who are all for partial birth abortions but are worried about wolves. Does not really make sense. You lost your values and you lost your minds.

Governor Palin is a very good administrator and has a lot more experience running things. Barack can not even run his own household. His wife is in charge at home.

But wow what a great campaigner.

Too bad she is not the president instead of Obumbler.

Oh Dear,
Sarah is missing a photo-shoot
Maybe she has nothing to wear
If her daughter hadn't taken a root
Palin might not be in such despair
Personnally, I think a size 12 boot
Would look & fit nicely up Sarah's rear
If only her horn she wouldn't toot
Her politics wouldn't give us a scare
A role she should play is that of a muet
And with luck she will become lunch for a bear

"conservative icons like Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter." These are not icons, these are just cons.

wow...maybe she's finally getting it! NOBODY wants to see her. Maybe she should try working on getting help for the people in northern Alaska who are starving and who have no heat. you know, actually work for the people in her state! The rest of us sure as heII don't want her.

February 10th, 2009 5:30 pm ET

Wow, a conservative is getting trashed at CNNs web site – There's irony in that.

My guess is, in 4 years, Alaska will be far better off than the United States in general….. Who'll be laughing then??

Great comment........I am sure she will be pulling in the most PORK she can......she is the Queen of PORK per person per any state any where !

Maggie February 10th, 2009 5:37 pm ET: Thanks for the laugh hon, you madame have a very loose definition of family values and morals, to think that Sarah Palin has either of these attributes. Get thee a dictionary or google those terms again and see if any of them applies to Gov. Palin.

Palin was in way over her head when McCain picked her. But she couldn't see that because her incompetence is coupled with an enormous dose of arrogance. McCain was obviously looking for a running mate he thought could help him win the election and not someone who was qualified to help him run the country. Nothing against Alaska but the demands of running that state aren't as strict as most others. I'm sure, everything else being the same (Palin's education, experience/resume), she couldn't have reached the Governor's mansion in any other state. She's great at theater though. She can really deliver a speech written by someone else. The only thing "she proved to all America" is Maggie, is that she isn't very smart, can't speak on her own or think on her feet and used her position inappropriately.

Gee, with Coulter, Limbaugh, and Gingrich on the stage, it sounds like Palin is missing a real opportunity to look like a decent and reasonable human being

Conservative party are dividing into small ones: some love Palin, but hate this obesed blue pills' adventurer Rush. Looks like the beginning the end for me

Thank God! One less article in the news about this useless woman. Maybe she is actually starting to think about helping the poor people in her state instead of galavanting around this country like some "Terminator Barbie". Or maybe she's going wolf hunting from her plane again.

Ann Coulter an ICON?? Oh dear god

Man, I really miss the SNL skits about Palin. That's pretty much all she's good for (making fun of)...oh, and shooting helpless animals. She's the son her father always wanted.

Palin, Gingrich, Limbaugh, Coulter, Romney, Huckabee & Paul.
Sound Familiar?
Dopey, Grumpy, Druggie – oops!, sorry – Sneezy, Sleepy, Happy, Bashful & Doc
The Seven irrelevant dwarfs of Conservative America.

CPAC = Conservative Panic And Crisis

Hey! Maybe McCain can stand in for the former top-o-the-ticket. She was the top, right? She certainly had more EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE than McCain right?

Palin isn't meant for national spot light she has ALOT of growing up to do ya know!

@Mike, please learn to spell dude.

GO AWAY & WHO CARES. WHY DOES ALASKA HAVE TO BE SO HIGH MAINTENANCE??

When House Republicans planned their annual winter retreat, they extended an invitation to Alaska Gov. Sara Palin, hoping the party's 2008 vice presidential nominee would give a morale-building speech to the more than 130 Republican members of Congress gathered this weekend in Hot Springs, Va.

Retreat organizers tell ABC News that Palin politely declined, giving a perfectly understandable reason. According to the Congressional Institute, which hosted the conference, Palin said she simply could not make it to the retreat because pressing state business made it impossible for her to leave Alaska this weekend.

So where is Palin this weekend? She's in Washington, D.C., attending the super-elite Alfalfa Dinner.

"She lied to us," said a Republican at the retreat.

Her and Lush in the same room?

Her sucking up to the real head of the RNC will definitely leave lipstick on a pig...

@ Matthews......you probably don't need a job or home do throw in your chant. LOL

I think she is starting to figure out that she is out of her league. She was not recognized by the President and stopped by Liebermann, whom I believe told her to stand down when she was in DC. She is so fickle to think she called the man a terrorist and would think he wanted to see her winking away. What a moron!

Maybe, just maybe, she is helping those poor starving and freezing Indians in Alaska.

Hey Maggie,

The comments about Palin is not a "Male" thing... this moose eatin trailer trash is a genetic misfit... something went terribly wrong during her conception!

The stock market just dropped 400 points because Obama and his crew do not have a clue what they are doing and you clowns are worried about Sarah Palin.

Has Obama's presidency already failed?

A teleprompter at a press conference, are you kidding me?

Are you enjoying that cool slick speaking Chicago guy?

What a bunch of losers.

The so-called Conservative icons are the reason why the Republicans lost....especially that vote of color.

I swear, if I have to hear or see someone write about Palin becoming our next President, Im gonna throw my shoes at all of you!!! She is fundementally inept in every aspect of politics and sanity. I loath her and everything she stands for. Those who follow her should be tested for mental retardation. Ohhh, thats gonna start a fire!

I'm just looking forward to her daughters wedding. I wonder if Rush will attend?

Sarah Palin has 80% support of her consituents. Barack is at 65% and dropping.

But he is a good cheerleader. He works well on stage. Now tell him to get his bony butt behind a desk and get to work

To all of you Sarah Fans: Get a grip and get informed from a source other than Limbough or Coulter. She has consistently proven herself a ditz, and by default that makes her fans no less intelligent. Africa is and continent not a country. I knew that when I was in grade school. I wonder if she can read an analogue watch....

SILLY RABBIT!!

Palin is SO 2008; her national aspirations ended last November. She'll be "Sarah WHO?" by summer's end.

Maybe we can get Nancy Pelosi to put on a wolf costume. Then we can shoot her from a helicopter.

i am very surprised as she has made it a hugh priority to be in whatever spot light she could get into.
maybe the 'EYE ON PALIN' movement scared her away.

Thanks for the talking points, Maggie!

How right you are Aimee!! I agree with you 100%.

Also I am so sick of the Palin bashing. There are certainly alot of mindless people out there that let the left media like MSNBC mold their brains! I am sick of all of you left wing liberals who think your opinion is the only opinion. It is the USA and we are all entitled to our opinion on who we vote for and who we support. We should be using facts not hurting words. That is not bringing us together. Sarah Palin is someone's daughter, someone's wife, someone's mother and someone's sister. And she is an elected official. How would you like someone talking about your daughte r, wife, mother, sister or governor the way some of you throw around your garbage. Shame on you!

I don't know why people hate Palin. She is gorgeous. Laughing out loud.

Palin wouldn't know what to say as she'e not handled by the Bush operatives anymore. Ya betchya!

As one of my friends once said, some people know better than to go where they aren't wanted.........

Barack is a liar...Fact.

Ray....what r u smoking?????????????

Dear God,

Would you schedule a small Raputure event. We will lure Palin in with free clothes and camera face time!

Please wait until AFTER the straw poll is taken, the winner will be the anti-Christ.

Prayerfully yours,
America

"Palin is soooooooooo much above all of you guys and dolls that you are finding it difficult to really understand her views."

I understand them; I just don't like (most of) them. Nice elitist attitude, BTW ...

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
CARESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

She (also) probably lied again (too) so she could go to Washington (Outsider that she is ... Bless her heart), pal around with terrorists again and start appreciatin' and readin' the mainstream, elite media.

you are right kevin – in four years alaska will be better off, cuz part time governor palin will be two years in the rear view mirror – her term is up in 2010, and she will not run, much less win, at that time. count on it.

Looks like Sarah's PAC members are working hard on this blog promoting her ....

hmmm... only 7 states not in the RED....and Alaska is one of them....

I for one am rooting for a Mom with an envelope budget.....and less likely to spend my future grandkids money....

I BETCHA Californian would not be in 28 billion debt....if Sarah was in charge

Maggie,

If Palin is above us, then I sure am happy to be down here...because if Palin is who's at the top, then the people 'above' me are obviously morons.

Palin Was, IS and always WILL be a national joke. She raises children that have children with druggies and she is convicted of ethical violations.

I suggest you set your standards for your idols a bit higher. I wouldn't let her raise my children or my dog (they would end up pregnant before they hit puberty if I did), let alone run my country, state, city, or even a lemonade stand. Everyone would be given a bag of dope and a racist speech as they departed.

Big deal one less Idiot at the meeting.

Just maybe she has some work to do for once...

In say, Alaska - where she was elected...

This lady poops pure stupid.

2010 will be the year that alot of Republicans lose their seat's in both houses.if they don,t start caring about all the American people,not just the "Rich-ones".

Sarah Palin is AWESOME! Only stupid people can't understand how intelligent she is. And she would never hate-talk like those of you who do. Whatever her decisions are, they are for good reason! What goes around, comes around, and you hate mongrels and bad-mouthers will pay the price some day...if not in this life, then the next to come. Wake up and wise up!!!

@ Dan, who said "Brandon please don't comment on Alaska Politics because you clearly don't know what's going on in alaska. "

Neither does Palin...so what 's the diff?

Maggie--Learn to spell. Your spelling is horrible, and the fact that you are trying to defend this idiot is even more horrid!

The way the Obamists and CNN have behaved have given a new breath to the patriots in this country that were once complacent. A new tide is rising that will sweep Obama and CNN into the trash bin of history for there treasonous behavior.

Rush probably told her to stay home, he did not want to get upstaged and , in his own words, he is the leader of the republican party. based on the actions of the republicans this is true. they all spout rush speak, they all ensure he approves of their message or they cahnge it, basically this pill popping liar controls the republican party they tell him to jump and they ask how high sir... well he must have told sarah to jump

idiots

To all of you females who are afraid to admit Palin is a moron. PLEASE stop making women look bad. Thinking like yours is why men didn't want to give us the right to vote. Please stop giving them free "I told you so's".

Maggie and the rest of you Palin lovers – - WOW – you should be afraid of showing so much ignorance aboutyour country, laws, issues, the future ...
Why go back to the 1600's with Palins ideas?
We just got rid of one incompetent President – he knew it and the world knew it- Now you want another?
"W" is out and so is Painful Palin –
Thank goodness!

Smart move, Sarah...
Stay away from Coulter and Limbaugh..
stay far, far away..

@ WhoCares?, who said "Wow. The concentrated EVIL in that room might actually open a gate to Hell within that building."

And the concetrated stupid will pave the way.

Attention Palin Supporters:
Get ready for a lot of this kind of activity from Palin. She's going to be backing out of quite a few things now that she's proven her idiocy and become famous (read: a crowd-drawer for all the wrong reasons). We'd love to hear about her recently read newspapers, but, again, we all know too well how she'll answer this one........it's now sooooo played...............anyway, the only draw to watch her speak is to relive the old Bushism's that have become known now as Palinism's.........Grizzly Mama need some good ole fashioned ed-U-ma-K-shun! Even that comment made her sound like a hick- idiot (and I know hicks who don't even speak like that!).

Let her stay up north...we don't want her down here in the lower 48... we are too civilized for her moose eating, wolf killing, barbaric life style... what century are you living in Sarah?? I mean come on, it's not like she can't afford to buy a piece of meat... get with it Sarah... oh, by the way while you're bringing yourself in touch with the 21st century with your shopping trips to Neiman Marcus on tax payers money...GET A NEW HAIR STYLE "Flo"...cause your "do" went out in the 70's with the "Alice" sitcom!!!

Coulter and Limbaugh are a 10. Yes, Coulter is a 1 (as in stick thin), and Limbaugh is a 0 (as in fat and worthless).

Personal to Maggie and her comment on Palin's family values and high morals.

Her pregnant, teenage, unmarried daughter learned those morals where?!?!

Sarah belongs to a seccesionist group, which of course is very American and full of family values. too!!!

She found out that she cannot bring her kids to the hotel in DC with taxpayers' money.... thats why she doesnt want to go

Who cares....the GOP really needs to start evaluating what their priorities are. The current economic crisis or the conservative base. Wake up, you lost your base isn't going anywhere. Start working with the Dems so America knows you care...idiots...

Palin spokesman Bill McAllister did not give a reason for the governor's decision, but did agree with one organizer's explanation "that it would be difficult for the governor to visit in the middle of the state’s legislative session"

Oh please, as if that has stopped her from jetting around the 48. She has not spent any time on her "day job" since she was tapped for VP.

Besides, the twit needs to suck up to Lush and Newt, altho, fireworks could spark between her and Annie.

Coulter/Palin 2012

A great sequal to Showtimes United States of Tara would be the United States of Sarah....Palin is the real deal when it comes to scitzoids!

Palin's not going because she doesn't have a chance of winning that beauty contest and she's tired of coming in second all the time.

Even if she got some rich organization to pay for her make-up and wardrobe, she'd still lose. Those old guys who really run things at CPAC like Rush too much. With all that baby fat, Limbaugh is just soooo cute when he jiggles.

Not too smart, period!!!!!

Has/will anyone investigate the real reason why her son joined the Armed Forces? Was it because a judge gave him the a choice between that and jail? And what about Bristol? I understand that she was kicked out of high school for being a troublemaker. Anyone know anything?

The self promotion and self aggrandizement payoff must not be high enough for her to show up which is kind of funny cause it isn't keeping the Huckster at home.

Little Rock, AR

Come on, let's be civil. I would love to see any of those who have written stand up and be counted for their beliefs. Maybe she does not want to be on the same podium as Limbaugh, Coulter and Hannity. If so, I will change my opinion of her from one who simply got overwhelmed by all the attention and dove into where she was not ready to swim, to one who is measuring her choices and carefully choosing her advocates. I hope that is true as she seems like a nice person who wants the best for her State and her Country.

Maybe she realized she'd make better headlines by NOT going than she would if she'd gone and opened mouth to speak.

Her speech writer must be out of town...

Why is this news? Why is she news? I just don't understand the mentality of the media. There is plenty to report on of resounding importance to our nation and yet we are still hearing about the every move of this "also ran" looser. Give me a break!

Yes, Peggy, a real Christian is a real Christian every day. They obey the words of Christ who said "love one another as I have loved you." They obey the words of Christ who said "judge not that you be not judged." It would mean loving the sinner, while hating the sin, not just hating.

None of these things are things that Sarah Palin has done. She bore false witness at her rallies. She encouraged hate and discord. She judged others by the color of their skin, or by whether they lived in the "real America". She lied, and then told every one she didn't. She preached abstinence after becoming pregnant before marriage, and then displayed her unmarried, pregnant daughter on the platform with her. Oh, and not to mention, she used McCain and the Republican Party for her own ends.

She doesn't practice Christianity, she just plays one on TV. A true Christian accepts others - Christ protected an adulterer from being stoned, sat down and ate with the ritually unclean like prostitutes and tax collectors, and turned on the coin changers in the temple and said you have made my Father's house into a counting-house. A true Christian realizes that God made the world and the creatures therein, and each has a place in it - and doesn't declare a helicopter slaughter on animals. A true Christian realizes that to be a Christian is not to exclude those who are not perfect, because none of us are perfect, but to include all and let God be the judge.

I am a loser like the rest of you. Everytime you enter a comment asking CNN to stop reporting on Palin, they will only give you more. Like all sites, they count the clicks on a page. The more clicks, the higher the advertising rate. If you want them to stop, dont even click on it.

PS, I find it humourous that the only Pro Palin remarks here are from Texas. What we should do is take the first promary away from NH and give it to TX. Whoever wins would immediately be stripped of citezenship and forced to live in TX..or we should have the EPA sample the water to see why they are all so stupid...Oh Right, Dubya pretty much shut them down for his buds in the oil biz

No, Maggie, Sarah Palin is above nobody. I have met her type many, many times: shallow, arrogant, never admitting mistakes, vicious in attacking those who disagree. Palin says she reads all the news publications then can't name one of them. She tells a kid what the VP does and gets it wrong - while running for that office. Now please tell me you can seriously imagine her sitting across the table from Vladimir Putin, and kindly don't say something like she'd wipe the floor with him, for he has political street smarts she doesn't even know exist, and he would make instant mincemeat out of her. It's summed up rather nicely by one of her supporters, a state government official, I believe, who replied to a statement that Palin doesn't know anything approaching what one must in order to go after high office: he said that maybe it would be good to have someone in office who is ignorant of those duties. Yes, and I want the next pilot whose plane I get on to be a third-month trainee, don't you?

The news media did not trash her, she managed to trash herself by her lack of awareness and inability to answer the most basic questions like what do you read.

Watch out she is headed towards the center in a Trojan horse.

Perhaps being photographed with Rush, Newt, and Ann made her realize that THAT picture would resurface in three years when she announces that she is the panacea for America if we only give up stem cell research, abortions, any kind of ecological preservation and go the Palin-way and drill everywhere, destroy everything, and supress everyone......all for those tax cuts for the wealthy.

Palin will replace Obama in 2012.

Idiots....the reason she's not coming is because of the volcano that's about to blow....Get a clue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Her AGAIN!?!?!?!?! I am sick and tired of CNN and every other news agency reporting about this airheaded bimbo. Seems like every time I turn on CNN or come to CNN.com, it's always something about the "Airhead from Alaska."

"BREAKING NEWS!!!!

Gov. Sarah Palin just coughed. These reports are probably nothing but the governor could also be suffering from the common cold or quite possibly some other horrible disease. More details every six minutes."

Get a clue. America didn't want her and Johnny Boy so please find something else to report on OTHER than Gov. Palin. Heck, a cat stuck in a tree is more interesting than her.

The good governor should have been in washington when President Clinton was in office. I will stop right there. Leave my comment to your own imagination.

Back when Reagan was running for president he said (more-or-less) that government was the problem, not the solution. Ever since then Republicans have been hell-bent to prove him right. The 10 years that Republicans were in charge of Congress were bad enough by themselves, but the period from Jan. 20, 2001 until Jan. 1 2006 nearly destroyed this country. We still are suffering from the effects of having government haters run the government. If we could get all the government haters in one place at one time this might be justification for first strike.

Wow. Sarah's keeping it on the down low? She must have a new political advisor who's talking sense to her - and she's listening??? Or maybe this has something to do with the fact that last week her husband and aides were found in contempt on Trooper-Gate.

Nah, couldn't be.

You have got to be kidding me. Do you people actually listen to yourselves at all? I read in one comment about "the Republicans who do nothing but stir up hate and divisiveness". Are you kidding me with this? Why don't you all take 15 minutes and read through every last comment on this page. Then tell me where the hate and divisiveness lies. This woman has done nothing to you personally and she is no longer in the picture and you insist on bashing her and dragging her name through the mud every time you hear her name.

GET OVER IT ALREADY!

Wow, I've just got done reading about quite a bit of everything Ron Paul has been writing about in the past decades and boy, this guy knows what he's talking about! No wonder everyone I seem to know is talking about the guy in so much details. It's no wonder why the U.S. have been plagued with puppeteers at the helm for so long.

Smart move Palin. This will be a house full of the types that the G.O.P. needs to distance itself from if it wants to continue functioning as a national party.

She is back, I taught she went away, gotdarnonit

Please tell me Maggie's comments were meant ironically...

Oh yes... She would fit right in with the GOP and its representatives, Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter. Hopefully this will not be a closed door meeting so all Americans can see these bigots for what they really are. SHAMEFULL!

PALIN IS NOT NEWS

Ann Coulter? Who invited him?!

Plus the Guiness Book of Records people should come and count the liars in one room – I'll bet it's a record!!!

talk about the whos who of bitter losers

Maybe she is FINALLY getting the hint ...........

Maggie, let me be the first to tell you that Sarah Palin was deficient in many ways: common sense, intelligence... I will admit that she excelled in living in denial and having delusions of grandeur.

What a sad state of affairs that these wingnut hypocrites are the "icons" of anything. Rush Limbaugh is a wart on society. Ann Coulter is a pathetic hatemonger and Sarah the Liar should stay in Alaska and deal with all her ethics violations.

I hear her constituents ae sick and tired of her campaigning for President when her State is suffering.

I wouldn't want to appear with Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh either. That would be as bad as her visit to the turkey farm.

Ms. Palin,

As a lifelong liberal, please, Ms. Palin, please stay relevant in conservative politics.

Where is Africa anyway?

What self respecting person would want to share a stage with Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter anyway?

Cobra,

Get it right, Kool Aid, begins with a "K" not a "c," and of course, it's a proper noun. The way you wrote it refers to the noun as in "cool" person, one of happening awesomeness; and yes, we all drink our own version of Kool Aid; and some of us are cool.

So enjoy yours; as I do mine.

This is news? News is that people in Fort Myers wants Obama to buy them a car, a kitchen, and have McDonald's provide better benefits for working college graduates. Now where are the details of that insightful story? The Palin haters can worry about her in a few years. Oh, that's not good enough since you need your daily Palin updates to feed on, and spew your bitter hatred of her about. Do you live to hate?

Rush, Newt, Ann??? Isn't that the Alliance of Hate?
I can't believe Ron Paul is going to this debacle. Of course, Fox News will be there to cover all their darlings.

CPAC if you hurry you can get Barnum and Baily to send a couple clowns. They won't be as funny but much more intellegent.

so freakin what!!!

Good for you Sarah – finally a person that is real. You know what's best for your state. I wish we had you for the whole country. We wouldn't be headed for this horrible depression via Barack Obama.

The Dow tanks 400, the stimulus bill is going to put us in hock for decades and this is the news? Of course, anything to divert attention from the liberal debacle unfolding before us.

I hear Sarah is upset that she won't be able to wear some of Coulter's clothes.

Thats to bad, she should have went there and B^&^%ed slapped the Dems for wanting to put our country in a tail spin with there new so called stimulous plan.

Please stay home Sarah, we really do not need you, ever.

RUSH IS RIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, what does that mean? "Sarah Palin will be the Reagan to Obama's Jimmy Carter." It makes my head hurt.

i like her, but i dont think she's "the one".

Republicans (like me) seriously need to start looking to someone with Liberatarian views...our party has sold us out for years

MelissaM – Sarah understanding her priorities? Not so far! If she is not jumping in front of the camera these days to promote herself, someone has put a bug in her ear to stop making a fool of herself.
She would not be able to answer intelligent questions anyway.

I think she was Reminded that she is the Gov. of Alaska.

you people who talk about hate for Palin must need read the junk printed DAILY on these pages about President Obama and even his wife. Maybe that's because it's people like you that are WRITING it!

Is it possible she has learned that no one actually cares what she has to say? I doubt we could be so lucky.

..he he he..woo woo woo..ha ha ha..sorry..just haven't stopped laughing since I heard that womans first words come out of her mouth..

Government is too big... he wants to grow it.

Congress spends too much... he promises more. Taxes are too high... he wants to raise them.

His tax increases are the fine print in his economic plan, and let me be specific.

The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes... raise payroll taxes... raise investment income taxes... raise the death tax... raise business taxes... and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars.

You zombies were warned. How is that change working out for you.

Once you begin a great movement there is no telling where it will end -

Peggy, you are absolutely correct in that you have just as much right to free speech as anyone else on this site. But I have some bad news...prepare yourself...not all of us are Christians. Take a deep breath now, I know it's shocking. So it follows that if not all of us are Christians, then we probably aren't forming our opinions or making decisions based on whether Sarah is a "good Christian". In fact, some of us might argue that she doesn't look much like a good Christian at all.

Kevin, news flash... you been eating to much moose meat, Alaska is part of the united states...

She's busy studying for the Presidency. She doesn't have enough time, considering she has so much to learn.

I've never said this before on this site but I'll say it now.......

WHO CARES????????

Oh come on...I can't believe that the planners of this event left out the best conservative "icon" of the Republican Party...good ol' Joe the Plumber!

Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter...conservative icons? Is Joe the Plumber going to be there as well?

Gee, a politician that avoids the "big spotlight" and exposure to actually do the work they have been elected to do? America would be extremely lucky to have Sarah Palin as the next President.

@ Peggy.....I would lay down my life to defend your right to be an idiot.

oh please. Sp has been a good Gov. lay off the women please.

Well looky here I think she may have reconized the fifteen minute clock has expired . She will come out for air when she hears the all clear.

Sarah, You ROCK!!!!!

I see by the string of replies, the Obama supporter's are there typing away. I guess they still haven't found a job to occupy their time.
I'm just surprised they are able to afford the electric bill to keep the computers turned on long enough for them to send an email.
Oh wait, I forgot the prisons do have acess to email and free electricity.

Sarah, if you're trying to avoid being viewed as a right-wing wacko like Limbaugh, Coulter, or Gingrich it's too late. You might as well go and give the sub-100 IQ crowd a thrill.

And which one of you could be the governor of Alaska? Amazing how you people know it all, yet what do you do besides post hateful comments? Get a REAL life or at least a REAL job.

Understands her priorities? HA! If she understood that much she wouldn't have even entered the presidential race! GO AWAY PALIN!

Alaska can keept their dingbat Evita.

It is so funny, you dems actually think people from the GOP want her as the 2012 nomine for Pres. LOL

This "party" will not be fun. The guest list is comprised of people whose faces would crack if the snarls somehow become threatened.

Frank, Las Vegas and all the rest of you so called males or at least your names indicate that. I am wondering if Frank's name is Frankie and perhaps Gov. Palin is intimidating to your feminity. Palin is soooooooooo much above all of you guys and dolls that you are finding it difficult to really understand her views. Perhaps it is that you do not have any views and do not know what it means. She has proven to all America that she is not afraid to tackle hard problems, she is not a greedy politician. dresses very appropriately to all except the hollywood and hollywood would be's lefties and liberals. She gets the job done. If she is dificient in any area she works hard to overcome the obstacles, mostly the media especially CNN writers. She stands up for family values and has high morasl.

That is because she is busy...working on a movie, a script resembling her life, reminds one of the Beverly hillbillies and Juno...

Why is this air head still in the news?

Well let's just see what Rush has to say about that on the air...

Perhaps she was reminded, again, that she has the duties of Governor of Alaska.

Yeah right.

Good grief! That's the first smart decision Palin has made to date! Limbaugh and Coulter certainly the worst people in the world to attract ANY votes unless it's for themselves! Not that Palin has gained enough smarts to be anywhere near Washington.

Please, Sarah, reconsider!

You must take every opportunity to spout your wisdom at every possible venue. Why aren't you on "Dancing With The Stars?"

I love you, Sarah! You're beautiful, you're sexy, you're bright (enough to ascend to the top of Alaska politics) and you will guarantee a long era of Democratic rule.

I'm a total Obama man, but I love Sarah because she shows the world how brilliant and wise he is.

Oh well, so they will be minus one nut job...sounds to me like there will be enough nut jobs at this gathering. This will be like a gathering of the political party that once ruled Germany and was thankfully defeated.

Sounds like a gathering of the terminally insane.

Keynote address: How to screw up the world... the next chapter.

If she is such a publicity hound, why is she staying home and doing her job when she could be in D.C. basking in the limelight? Maybe it's because she loves her constituents more than she does beltway politics.

Forget vice president.....this woman should be PRESIDENT!!......but that would mean REAL change in Washington D.C. and we certainly can't have that, now can we?

Who Cares said:
The concentrated EVIL in that room might actually open a gate to Hell within that building.

Yeah – think it could be used to blast Wall Street to another galaxy?

If I was your finacial advisor,and after some years my advice left you broke,I would be ashamed and I would quit.If I was your quarterback and at the end of the season i had more interceptions than completions and no wins, I would be ashamed and quit.If i was a republican I would be ashamed and hope whoever replaced me could do better.But to think that anyone should listen to me after my failed policys is crazy.And to not support my relacement would be even more crazy,for whom am i to speak.And if my party then became a minority party forever i wouldnt be the least bit surprised. So Sarah if you want a chance you might want to start your own party,because the GOP is shrinking as fast as the economy.

Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, and that hater ilk is why the Dems got such a huge vote in this election . The RNC really ought to get out of the circus business and get some spin from some respectable people soon.

The hate mongers don't even want her..... GO AWAY SARAH

Palin is a social conservative ... and that's about all the conservative credentials she has ... Rominey and Huckleberry are still playing the same GOP game ... if they had any credibility at all for running the country they wouldn't be running around with Ann Coulter.

Very mavericky of her!

Finally! I think shes slowly beginning to accept her 15 min are up. Go Romney 2012!

not too smart on palin's part.

This article makes it looks like Sarah cancelled but CPAC typically invites a roster of conservatives and then advertises to attendees based on their invite list, not their confirmed speaker list. This is the biggest non story I recall having read.

Sarah Palin will be the Reagan to Obama's Jimmy Carter.

Wow, avoiding her friends that love her.

Wow, a conservative is getting trashed at CNNs web site – There's irony in that.

My guess is, in 4 years, Alaska will be far better off than the United States in general..... Who'll be laughing then??

HONESTLY... YOU LOST!!! GET OVER IT ALREADY!!!!! WHO REALLY CARES WHAT YOU DO ANYMORE? GO SHOOT A WOLF...OR BETTER YET, STAY HOME AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR KIDS!!!!!!

Come on guys, she's really not that bad! Think of all the humor she's brought to our lives.......KEEP 0N TRUCKING SARAH!

WHO CARES, STOP REPORTING ABOUT SARAH PALIN!

Please, CNN, just stop reporting about her.

Sincerely,

America

So much hate on such a small page

I can't believe there is so much hatred for Sarah Palin when Nancy Pelosi is on a terror destroying the country. It just goes to show how uneducated most of the voting public really is. I hope the democrats enjoy Nancy while she runs this economy in the toilet. Congratulations, she's all yours!!

Peggy you not talking about the Palin we know. air head?

STOP THE PALIN HATE

Brandon please don't comment on Alaska Politics because you clearly don't know what's going on in alaska. We have a pretty good idea why palin won't be traveling down to the lower 48...Republicans and democrats who have governorship election aspirations have been attacking her at every corner.

I know this comment section is filled with a bunch of mindless liberals but I just wanted to clear some things up.

You may now continue with your usually insults about the Governor...

OMGZ sara is an idiot.... How did I do? It's 4th grade all over again.!

It's the biggest gathering of idiots since the RepubliKKKan Convention last summer.....

Soccer Nana@The way you make these people sound, they should be inviting Charlie Rangle, William Jefferson, Tim Geithner and Tom Daschle to their meeting too. Maybe throw in Dan Rostenkowski (well known Chicago sleazeball), Blago (another Chicago sleazeball) Harold Ford Sr. (Memphis sleazeball), and the biggest sleaze ball of all Bill Clinton.

I pray every day that the GOP will put Palin up as their 2012 presidential candidate...
then President Obama will win by a huge landslide and all of the USA will turn BLUE

Obama 2012

The jug eared clueless boy wonder won. Why are you liberals so afraid of Palin?
Could it be cover for the complete and utter ineptitude and weakness that Obama exudes?
Buyers remorse, for sure.

Sara go home and stay home, I do not know what you are up to and do not care. I knew you would manage to get you name in the media again, what has it been not quite one week. You do not have my vote or the votes of my family or friends.

this is the first normal sane thing that Palin has done. I guess a conservative meeting is the same as a bunch of racists meeting.

Well well... she actually does have a piece of a brain in her head.... look at that line up,Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter. She actually figured out that this was a air head meeting and bowed out...

I'm more concerned about the case of losers in attendance than the one who will not attend. I wonder if Davis Duke got and invite???

with that group of meglomaniacs,nothing would be achieved for the mere fact that none of them would shut up long enough to hear the others.....

you said: "I can't believe there aren't millions of Christians coming to her aid when she is trashed my the likes of Katie Couric andher cronies."

Believe it sister, this Palin is dumb as a rock and myself and fellow Christians aren't about to support a sinking rock. Katie did not trash her, she was already trash

"Other than not being used to the bullying and ambushing of our so called media, just exactly what has she done that is so terrible?"

you mean you haven't been paying attention to her actions and hate speech – "paling around with terrorists" etc., this woman has no clue

"She is a very intelligent and caring woman."

what planet are you from, caring for what? shooting animals from a helicopter?

"She calls a spade a spade."

who is she calling a spade, that is racist

"If we want to save our country my fellow Christians, we had better become more vocal about God and quit hiding in churches while our country continues on it's way to hell. "

the last eight years that brought down the world economy were directect by your fellow christians, torture, spying on Americans, calling anyone that didn't agree with you un-patriotic

I hope we are nicer to you than you were to us

the last 8 years were a nightmare

Maybe she started reading and decided there were better things
she could try. Like shooting small, helpless animals.

I repeat my email message of Jan. 31: Go back to Wasilla and take care of your business, Palin! This is not a beauty pageant, Honey!
2/10/09: You are barely qualified to be governor and will NEVER be qualifed for a national office. Learn to read and comprehend, speak coherently, and give serious thought to your role as mother. Your egocentricity is showing (get a dictionary) – very tacky!

"We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and if I am wrong...somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises...I saw after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started...And an enormous debt to boot!" – Henry Morgenthau, Jr.
FDR's Treasury Secretary

If Sara is such a icon of Christianity, why is she allowing two un-wed teenagers to live together in her house?

Could it be sarah palin has seen the light of her losing party, However my guess she got a peek at that guest list and said hell NO!.
And who can balme her.

You Betcha!!

Maybe she's competing against Cindy for Miss Buffalo Chip that weekend.

Oh boy! CPAC (Coven of Practicing anti-Christs) is having another ice cream social.

I'm sick of CNN reporting on every gaseous escape from this pathetic moron.... NO MORE PALIN

The city's average IQ will drop 50 points, with that bunch in town!

I hate Palin as much as the next hippie liberal but seriously? Even I'm sick of bashing Palin. It was fun when some people still held an oz of respect for her but now? It's a moot point.

Really who cares– and YES, "Peggy"- she sure touts herself as a Christian–and while even that may be debatable – one thing is for SURE- an intellectual SHE IS NOT.
As for the Christian ethics- wonder where those went when the people here in Emmonak were starving and freezing.
She is worthless a s a governor and actually doesnt make a very nice person either.

Maybe she didn't get enough donations on SarahPac to pay for the trip.

Hopefully the Republicans will let evil-spewing idiots like Coulter and Limbaugh to continue to represent their party. The Democrats will not have to fight too hard in 2012.
Even better, let them put Palin on the ticket. It will be the biggest landslide in American politics for Obama!

How was Palin trashed by Couric? Katie threw softballs to her and Palin struck out!

Hope she's not off shooting from some helicopter. Her aim is off on everything else but shooting animals and pleasing conservatives no matter their intelligence. Heck, she probably thinks they're geniuses. She's the only one that thinks that–shows how smart she is. Fool!

I would love to see Rush Limbaugh compete as the Republiklan candidate in 2012!

...And Ann Coulter as the veepee pick!

they will surely be an interesting couple – the show of hate, bigotry and just the sheer cluelessness of this pair will be great!!!!

that would be hillarious! – I can't wait!!!!!

Of course she did. She's too dumb to do anything actually intelligent.

Perhaps she will work out a plan to feed her starving constituents in the northern part of her state ... they can't eat oil ...

"icons like Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter. "

???

These aren't icons! These are boils that fester and spread, a pox that plagues humanity.

I hope Palin stays in the news forever. That way those who haven't figured it out yet will plainly see the the GOP is a joke.

Gov. Palin is going to be our next president.

Bwaahahaha - the haters have taken the bait again.

Go back to worshipping your new GOD/KING.

Who cares! This isn't news CNN, and by the way, I thought you guys were gonna stop reporting on that moose chili-eatin', gun slingin', helicopter ridin', oil hungry, lying, conservative, 'maverick,' grandma from Alaska? Caribou barbie is fading....let's leave it that way.

ICONS? YOU MEAN YOU MEAN RACIST?

Wow, you guys are like children. Seriously, get over the hate already. What's with all the CAPITAL letters and exclamation points? Take your Xanax and chill out.

RNC spends $180K on Palin clothing .. but Republicans don't want a dime spent on the rest of America.. or our kids education..

Now they want to line by line our money

A politician who actually turns down a chance to be in the lime light in order to do her job. How novel.

She saw Obama's press conference last night and realized that she could not have answered one of those questions intelligently. Was I the only one watching last night wondering how would Sarah be doing?

Boo hoo. And she's always so thoughtful and has so much to contribute to any gathering she attends. What'll those good ole boys do without their Miss Thing???

Starving families in Alaska, is probably not a good time to be gone??

It's hard to travel another 4,000 milesl when you're busy with tutorials on how to do interviews, write complete sentences, and look for Russia from her front porch. Besides, Mike & Mitt & Co. might ask her some tough questions. She needs that personal space to get ready for a Presidential run in 2012. Her whereabouts are thus worthy news as it's a key political skill to map your opponent's movements.

This is one reason why I like Sarah Palin. She seems to understand that you don't take off to hobnob during a busy Legislative season.She's one politician who understands her priorities.

She would have to speak and all of McCain's speech writers are no available to her, so she'd be on her own, and we all know what that sounds like. Additional reasons, reporters would ask her questions, we know how that ends too. Last but not least, potential presidential rivals will be there, so what you ask. When she was on McCain's ticket they had to support her, try to tell everyone and anyone who would listen that she's not as dumb as she sounds. As true rivals after the same job, they would not be supporting her or holding her up as any kind of a future for the GOP. In fact, they would be attacking her lack of experience, common sense and intelligence more than the Democrats ever did.

So Sarah, just say goodbye once and for all. Please.

I can't blame Sarah Palin for wanting to avoid Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter. I believe, however, that it is a little late for her to try to separate herself from the wing nuts of the Republican Party. She is already one of them.

She might be asked to speak intelligently on some topic or other, and the ensuing drivel might get reported, which would further tarnish her jerry-rigged "image" as the next leader of the Republican "party". Better to keep her under wraps and away from all those pesky liberal journalists.

These are a bunch a loser names headlining. Icons my back side. She is trying to set herself a part from these fools like HUSH Limpball and Anal Culter. I still don't like you though Palin – go away (FAST).

Go away!!!!

Good, it makes me wonder who pays for all of her trips to Washington, I certainly hope it's not the taxpayers

Does that mean she is going on the DL only to re-emerge as an even bigger loser?

She must be smarter than we think! I wouldn't want to be seen with Ginrich, Limbaugh and Coulter either!

The Press has little good news to report. Sarah provides that. Don't look now folks but she is going to be your next President.

Maybe it's because her state legislatures just found her husband and aides were in contempt for ignoring their subpoena's?

Maybe it's because today her Attorney General announced his 'resignation' ?

And the plot thickens.....................

I'd like to know the truth behind Colberg's 'resignation'.

Clear and transparent government..............I DON'T THINK SO!!!!!!!

I don't blame her, I would not hang around with the likes of Rush Llimbaugh and his ilk either

No worries, Mate!! She'll have plenty of other chances to get her white sheet and hood... and being from Alaska, at least she's smart enough to know that if she's going to burn anything it's going to be in the woodstove for heat!!

This is actually the first smart thing she's done since the election. It's not that she doesn't have a tarnished image... but it's a brilliant move on her part not to be seen "pal-ing" around with conservative right-wing nut-jobs and the Radical Right. She really needs to give her image a rest for a while.

She definitely doesn't want to get any of Ann Coulter-geist's cooties on her!! Rush is a comedian... and Newt is probably using the conference to cheat on his significant other.

She SHOULD snub them... serves them right for trying to kill the stimulus bill... she knows her state really needs that money, now that she can't be seen taking 'pork-barrel' money anymore for bridges.

Blog' Pebble Mine Alaska' for another Palin atrocity.

I wish she'd back out in front of a speeding train.

A wise move on Palin's part. You have to be careful who you're pal'n around with. You know what I mean? Nudge, nugde. Winkl, wink. You betcha.

It is better to be though a fool, than open her mouth and remove all doubt. The sooner she fades into obscurity, the better.t

GO HOME and take care of your kiddies and grand baby. That's the BEST and only thing for you to do Governor Palin.

Who cares.

All that money they give to residents each year and they can't come up with enough to feed the people freezing and starving in the villages. Pretty good indication what her priorities would be as President. Also expects Obama to discuss the pipeline during his visit to Canada. I thought she had all that foreign policy experience and would manage the affair? Oh yeah...She's too busy worrying about Sarah and 2012.

Must be wolf hunting season.......

Looks like the Titanics crew gathering on the bridge,please dont miss it Sarah.

the grand DRAGON,Rush Limbaugh...when Rush speaks The REUBS ...LISTEN and Follow!!!!

Give her a break. Staying back to work wit hthe legistlature instead of spending taxpayer money to travel and grab the spotlight in fron of the camera. What a sham. You guys all know Hillary would have been all over a free dinner like a Hobo and a ham sandwhich.

WHOOOO CAARRREESSS??????????

THAT IS THE BEST SHE COULD DO BECAUSE IF SHE WENT SHE WOULD BE BLASTED BY HER STATE.

Sarah Palin is the only realy true conservative as far as I can tell. She is not ashamed to let everyone know she loves the lord and lives by His Word. She calls abortion murder and doesn't use all the so called "politically correct" hogwash. I can't believe there aren't millions of Christians coming to her aid when she is trashed my the likes of Katie Couric andher cronies. Other than not being used to the bullying and ambushing of our so called media, just exactly what has she done that is so terrible? She is a very intelligent and caring woman. She calls a spade a spade. If we want to save our country my fellow Christians, we had better become more vocal about God and quit hiding in churches while our country continues on it's way to hell. A real Christian is a Christian every day, at work or play and sings God's praises every chance we get. If this comment turns you off, think how I feel hearing most of the junk comments on these blogs. It's a free country so far and I have every right to say what I think, just like you do...

Palin people are talking about you girl please stay away from these two people Limbaugh and Coulter RUN SARAH RUN

At first I used to hate seeing these CNN reports on Palin, but I'm starting to get addicted to them – more fun that watching the brain-dead antics of those in Hollywood as they self destruct.

Sarah Palin has more intelligence than 99% of the left wing cool aid drinkers on here trashing her. They are probably government workers that are stealing time when they could be letting their lazy as* grow fatter setting on it. Go Sarah!!!!!

Liberal hate?????
Excuse me? Seems the only hate mongers I can think of are headlining HATEFEST 2009...too bad Ms. Palin will be a no-show.

STOP THE HATE SPEECH

STAY IN ALASKA – ONE ANN COULTER IS ENOUGH. WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE HATERS LIKE YOU IN THE LOWER 48.

Isn´t it a shame? Missing the most important trailer park gaathering in the US? Well, I guess she would have to settle for the company of the home grown rednecks. Tch tch tch.

CNN never posts my comments no matter what I say. Regardless, maybe Palin actualy realizes now that national politics is over her head. Maybe it is just that simple.

Good riddance, Alaskans are suffering and freezing while she rides the tax payers helicopters and shoots the evening meal.............

Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter? That's why CPAC is going to lose and the Republicans are going to increasingly become a regional party consisting of Southern white males while the rest of the country moves deeper into the 21st Century. Electing Michael Steele was unabashed tokenism and will not help the party become more inclusive since their ideas are as divisive and backwards as ever. No minorities are going to flock to the GOP because of Michael Steele unless he make some fundamental changes to their policies.

She had a previously scheduled aerial Wolf hunt..................

She used this excuse about 2 weeks ago to skip-out of another GOP conference so she could instead goto an elite Washington dinner. I wonder what she is up to this time?

Baaaaa, obstruct the Congress; baaaaa more tax cuts: baaaaa cut spending; baaaaa Rush Lamebrain; baaaaa Sarah Palin...

Fortunately for our country, we found a new shepherd.

Ugh...aren't her 15 minutes over yet? She belongs in yesterday's news pile.

CNN please we dont want to know about Palin......

CPAC= "christians" pretending at caring

sounds more like a klan meeting

No credible conservative politician should be anywhere that invites Ann Coulter. her writing is nothing but hate speech.

GO AWAY! Your own people are starving, can't afford heat and food, do your job!

nothing to wear?

Can she invite Ann Coulter to join her up ther in Alask'cha?

Who cares? She's busy selling out parts of beautiful and pristine Alaska one State Park or Preserve at a time. Alaska needs a governor and senators who actually care about the ecology of "our" state. It will be too late when all the oil and gas rigs plus the extinction of wildlife we have in no other state are keeping tourists away rather than bringing them in.

She doen't have to go. She is the GOP leader. Just ask Rush. It's a done deal. She runs in 2012 with their full support. She calls the shots and goes where she pleases. The flock (as always) will follow.

I JUST WANTED TO YELL ABOUT SOMETHING!!!!!

I agree that this is really a non issue but seriously, turn off your CAPS before typing.

another klan rally!

At least you worthless reporters can change the picture or is it the only one you kept.Doesn't really matter it is another worthless article to fill in space.

God I wish she would just go away........

I wonder if it has anything to do with the resignation of Alaska Attorney General Talis Colberg. You know, the one who tried to stop the troopergate investigation by telling state employees they didn't have to honor court issued subpoenas. Hmmm...

And this is news because?

She has work to do….the legislative session and a volcano….a state to run.
—Not like us unknown bloggers who have no life…and I include myself in that description.

It's hellicopter-wolf hunting season and she can't miss that for all of the gosh darn marbles in a pot of ketchican stew.

I agree with the other postings. For goodness sake enough already with the Palin news. We have all moved on time and we need to tackle serious issues. Why cant YOU drop it CNN

Who cares?

Palin is the new Anne Coulter. Putting them both in a room together would obviously cause Ragnarok.

Can you say volcano?

Oh please go rub shoulders with the right wing nutjob elite crowd.

Let's get that picture of Sarah and Ann Coulter together ... or one with Rush goosing Sarah.

That would be priceless in the years to come.

one can only hope she becomes our next president

Is she pregnant again?

Her 15 minutes was up long ago.

Looks like a real Mensa meeting here folks,and the grand messiah,Rush Limbaugh handing out talking points to his sheep.

what.......................................no sarah???????????????????????
what will they do???????????????????????????????????????

Who speaks for the party:
Palin? Rush?

CNN needs its daily fill of liberal hate.

I hope they leave their white hooded capes and torches at home where they belong.

Maybe she's back in school to learn to speak-n-spell.

Please tell me how is this new and who cares if she will be there or not there are other things that CNN need to be reporting on instead of who will be at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Alot of people who want things to go thier way or noway at all.. Give me a BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not again CNN!

Understandable, given the current economic disaster Obama is throwing out, she needs to work with her State to protect its citizens.

Can we please stop reporting on Palin. CNN I know you would like to keep the scandal going, but it's over. We don't care whether she runs or no-we just want for you an other media outlets to stop cramming her down our throats.

More great reporting from CNN. A perfect followup to the Dolly Parton "News".

CNN blows

THANK GOD, there is a God after all. This woman needs to stay in Alaska and do her JOB!!! Palin was campaigning for almost a year and a half, AND she was doing interviews. PLEASE NO more interviews, NO MORE appearances, and NO MORE "grand standing". Are we sick of it? You Betcha!

Mitt Romney, Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter? All losers.

Amazing !!!
It is almost an hour this article is published and only one comment ?

Not saying that Palin has any sense whatsoever, but if she did she would stay as far away from Limbaugh and Coulter as possible.

I'm sure Mike, Mitt and Ron are ok with it.

Aw, what's the matter...SarahPAC hasn't raised enough money for another jaunt to Washington yet? I thought Republicans were not feeling this recession and didn't need any stimulus package?

And Alaska's legislature is only part time...just like their Gov. Bet she was looking forward to eating dinner with Rush and Ann...and they'll be so disappointed.

so what!

Hey Brandon, she's going to have to go a LONG way to beat the scandals the Democrats are trying to hide and NOT succeeding. I don't see her getting impeached, arrested or charged with anything. Do you??

Bummer!!!

Who cares?

Sarah, don't you have diapers to change?

No that I know cares if Sara attended anything.

I guess she finally got it that she can't leave "The First Dude" in charge anymore after Troopergate or did he finally get a paying job and stop living off the State of Alaska.

Halelujah!! The less we hear of and from her, the better.

sarah palin is finally using good judgement by staying away from all the republican idiots that do nothing but stir up hate and divisivness...she knows she would not stand a chance in 2012 primaries if she does not change her way of doing things.

God Bless President Obama, VP Biden and the First Families

It's about time she stay in Alaska.

Who really cares!

THATS GREAT NEWS SHE SHOULD HELP HER STATE NEED ALOT HELP OIL IS DOWN THERE'S NO ALOT INCOME .ALSO SHE HAS FAMILY WHO NEED HER MORE THEN GOP

GOOD LUCK PALIN

"also scheduled to include conservative icons like Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter" LOL, icons?

"Ann Coulter is under investigation by the Connecticut Elections Enforcement Commission for allegedly voting in that state while registered to vote in New York City"

"Coulter was investigated and cleared of wrongdoing in 2006 for allegedly violating Florida's voter registration laws by voting in the wrong precinct. Florida Election Commission dropped the case after deciding that the two-year statute of limitations had run out."
LOL, some icon.

Newt Gingrich, has been married how many times?

Rush the-Oxy-Limbaugh, hummm an icon huh?

"The Alaska governor had been expected to serve as the headline attraction at the three day event"

"Thousands of villagers in rural Alaska are struggling to survive, forced to choose between keeping their families warm and keeping their stomachs full, residents say." LOL some headliner. She needs to stay home and take care of all of state's citizens; believe it or not Ms. Palin, those villagers are REAL Americans too.

She doesn't need anymore press tha she's already getting. By the way, Rush has proven that he's the head of the Republican Party and Steele or Palin hold no power.

The only one who matters is Ron Paul–the rest are the same neo-con dweebs who ruined the Republican Party.

Ron Paul appears to be the only guy in either party who truly understands the economy. Unless the Reps start paying attention to him, they're going to wind up on "the trash bin of history," as someone once called it.

And I'm supposed to care, why???? The Gov must be tryin' to distance herself from the far right –you betcha.

Doesnt Sarah have enough money in PAC account to go. Come on alasks people donate to her fund, cause she needs to get together with her buddy Rush.

She better be the nominee in 2012, 2016, and beyond until she gets it.

Sarah Palin is the new Paris Hilton.

Untalented, unintelligent, and somehow incapable of leaving the spotlight, even this long after wearing out her welcome.

So?

Awww, GEEEEEE!!!!! No Sarah????????? (I think I'll go pout!). And to think that if she would leave Alaska for the CPAC shindig, she could have simultaneously raised the average IQ of both the state of Alaska AND the CPAC meeting. Bummer, dude!!!!!

Finally, finally, she is making a right decision. This is a first for her.
Good idea to stay home Sarah. Your state REALLY needs you right now.

Did you see that the Attorney General of Alaska (appointed by Gov. Palin) has resigned?

Wow... when the repubs are officially declaring people like Rush as their icons.. you know the party is sinking fast.

That's one party I wouldn't be caught dead in.

HMMM.... Gingrich, Limbaugh, Palin & Coulter ..... has the makings of a major FREAK SHOW if ever I've seen one ....!

Any event that includes Gingrich, Limbaugh and (EWWWW) Coulter is not worth wasting your time on. These are three of the most horrible people I can think of that I would want to hear speak. Really PATHETIC

Why not go to washington for this.

She has work to do....the legislative session and a volcano....a state to run.
-Not like us unknown bloggers who have no life...and I include myself in that description.

Why? Is she afraid reporters will ask her questions?

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT SARAH PALIN IS SHOWING HER TRUE COLOURS.SHE IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE AND THIS WAS DISPLAYED ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL LASY YEAR SO NO ONE SHOULD BE DISAPPOINTED THAT SHE IS NOT ATTENDING THE CPAC.

IS SHE THE ONLY ONE NOT ATTENDING
CNN YOU STIR UP HATE
WHY SHOULD WE CARE

Guess things were too quiet on the blogs.
Anti-Palin comments in 3...2...1....

I was wondering how long the Ticker could survive without a Palin article. Glad to know this one is chocked full of information about her doing... nothing?

That's interesting. Sarah never turn down an opportunity for photos and continual chatter.

Thank God.. Leave her in Alaska...

Sounds boring.

Good! Maybe, just maybe she'll be focusing on some of that "governey" kinda stuff... Ya think? Nahhhhhh.

Sarah,the democratic party needs you.

Stay in Alaska where you belong.

Gosh darn it! In what regard, Charlie? You betcha. Also.

who cares

Awwww

This is just another political move by the Gop to keep their presidential hopefull from being over exposed, as well as to not place her with right wing radicals that would make her look bad. They know people don't approve of the Gop, so to place her with them would smudge her up as well. Personally I love that the Gop is looking to prop up sarah "nobrain" palin because she can't, and won't win anything in 2012.

Thank you for listening to the public!

Smart move Sarah Palin staying low key for the moment is your only hope to compete in 2012.

And I really hope you win the Repub nomination because that is an easy win for Barack.

She had time to go to D.C for a party.. and not for the CPAC. It seems that she is begginning to distance her self. Possibly start up her own wing of the Republican Party. I would not blame her. If she want to run in 2012 ( and I hope she does) she will need to be a moderate.
I only hope she runs so the Dems won't have to use as many resources for reelection!!!

Go OBAMA-We believe in you!

I love Sarah Plain.

WHO CARES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So it will be a gathering for only white folks?
I wonder if Steele knows about this. . .

WHO CARES?

Of cource not. She is to busy following President Obama around. She having second thoughts about her party of no!

"which is also scheduled to include conservative icons like Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter."

Wow. The concentrated EVIL in that room might actually open a gate to Hell within that building.

Maybe she scheduled a more important event over top of it like she did to the Congressional Republicans last week...

Wow. Rush, Newt, Ann the Stick, Huckabee, Romney...
Can't wait to see the radiant light and hopeful positivity that will shine out of this event!!

conservative icons like Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter ..................... icons? Really?

She probably has another scandal going on that she's trying to cover up.
