Wow, they'd better raise a lot more than $60,000 to entice her to actually write and deliver a speech (or pay someone to write her a speech.) And she can run for President as hard as she likes, and spend all her supporters' money. She will never get out of the primaries. Can hardly wait for her "book tour" of the Fox Noise hosts, and no one else. I know, we're all mean for asking her pertinent questions about policy, geography or history. Heaven forbid someone asks her to read aloud from the book she supposedly wrote. But Sean and Glenn would never ask her an unplanned question. That would be un-American, and w know how much they all support "their" America.

My dream ticket would be Ron Paul/Sarah Palin 2012.

This is getting really sick.

Sarah Palin is hated by Democrats. Their hatred is driven by fear. Their fear is well placed.

Sarah 2012.

Sarah Palin is a disgrace to the Republican Party. Once a quitter always a quitter

What $41,000 could do to help out-of-work Americans, but Ms. Palin wouldn't understand their kind of misery!

I think America is beginning to understand that beating up on her 15 yr old daughter for loving someone was wrong of the media and that she would of been a very good responsible vice president.

I pray she will run for President. She certainly wil do better than what the lame brained idiot we now have in office.

Nothing could be better for the Democratic party than a Palin nominatin in 2012. The woman couldn't even take being the governor of Alaska, for God's sake. Who in their right mind thinks she could ever be the President? What is her apeal to these people. Don't they remember what a disaster she an McCain were in the last election? I'm just baffled by her continuing populairity. A new book? Shouldn't she read one first? Bastard children, a for-show-only marriage, using children as political props. This is a good thing? People let's get serious....the woman is a the punch line of a joke...and nothing more.

I think she needs to take care of her own house and the mess she has created within it before trying to straighten out America's.

The fact she is still out marketing her self is evidence of a pitiful spectical of the fractured GOP. If this is the best the GOP has, we are all in trouble.

Go Sarah....kick some Liberal butt!

Dont worry. As soon as she leaves, the property values should bounce up to normal.

Sarah Palin is good, but the GOP needs someone great who is able to truly rally the grassroots support. Ron Paul is the only republican who has any significant level of support within the grassroots community. Ron Paul has been out of the '08 campaign for almost 18 months now, yet his support network is stronger than ever. GOP needs to be smart for 2012, or it will be another big loss.

She could be the beginning of a real split in the Repulican party that was started by George W Bush. That could lead to another major party. Wouldn't that be great? I think it could be.

Obama is ONE and DONE.

SARAH PALIN-LIZ CHENEY 2012'

Iowa – Sara Palin is making a run for 2012 who do she think she is foolilng. Her stupid supporters really got her to believe she can win in 2012. Sara Palin still have not got over the fact that she lost in 2008. What will she do when she lose again in 2012?

What a waste of 41,000.00.

Its been reported Sarah has been payed 1.25 million for her book, but what was missed in the AP story was that the Palin family had to take out a home loan to fight the false allegations. That is the real story behind the headline.

Sarah come run our combine if you want some financial support.

Go Caribou Barbie! The Republican'ts and Conservatives need you. They have lost their way and are counting on you to lead them out of the wilderness.

President Sarah Palin. Sounds great !

There is one thing about a conservative Iowa farmer – You can't pee on their foot and tell them it's raining outside.

Good luck with those pitchfork carryin' gun toten' farmers – they are gonna hand you your tush on a platter when you start those hollow, non-sensical bleating about "freedom" and "lipstick" and "real Americans" and "god speaks to me"....

For all the extremely denigrating comments made about Sarah Palin and her family, she sure does have staying power. And, she is the only national level political candidate I've seen that wasn't already filthy stinking rich and out of touch with the mainstream of America. And by the way, the POTUS may have graduated from Harvard, but we all know the real powerhouse is Yale!!!

Arghghghgh! I know it's Halloween and all that, and the zombies are coming out, but this is ridiculous! Just stop!

As a senior citizen and an Independent, I find it difficult to understand anyone who would select Sarah Palin as a presidential candidate.
She is under-educated, with no experience outside of Alaska, resigned her position as governor to go on speaking tours and write a book (did she?) to make money and has no stature on the international scene. She is seen by much of the population as totally unqualified, not intelligent or educated enought for the position, her interview with Katie will haunt her in any election, she is more of a personality than a serious politician and her behavior towards her opponent in the 2008 presidential race, Barack Obama, can only be described as shameful. She is unelectable.

She just got over a million dollars to allow somebody else to write a book for her and now she wants 40,000 to visit a group she supposedly believes in. What a racket!

Dear Republican Party,

Please, oh pretty please, nominate Sarah Palin for President in 2012.

Sincerely,

The Democratic Party

p.s. May we suggest Michele Bachmann or Newt Gingrich as VP nominee?
xoxo

Sarah for Pres in 2012! And Rush for VP! Now there's a Republican ticket for the ages.

Hey, those foreign interlopers and Australian subversionists at FOX News can run her campaign!

Now that's the ticket!

Really.....who cares????

Good luck, she's in demand. She'll be on her book tour so I don't know if she'll have time.

Sarah 2012

Iowa isn't the conservative state it once was. Doubt she'll get the sort of attention she'd get in Texas. Do I wanna be in the same state as she's in at the time. Eeek. Moron alert.

Most have forgotten more than" Moose Burger from the Halloween party of Not knows. "
Alaska needs her
Track ,Trick ,Tracer and Treat want to go Trick or treatin .

Oh by the way,.... did I happen to mention that I'm glad I don't live in Iowa?

Yep!!!.........STILL glad I don't live in Iowa!

Somehow, I can't see Sara Palin "stumping" in Iowa! She had a bad enough time with that video she shot with the "turkeys", back in Alaska! It amazes me what a difference a year makes - for Iowans that is!!!!!!!

Has Palin paid taxes on the book money she has received? Just curious! I say RUN Palin RUN in 2012. That will assure Obama another 4 years.

is she making a killing or what i would,nt pay 41 cents to listen comedy act

Sarah, I'm from Iowa. We don't want need your kind here. We don't need your cutesy, condescending, folksy talk with code phrases like "real Americans" that you use to appeal to the bigots in the audience. Newsflash (since we know you don't read newspaper or really anything at all), we have progressive education and legalized gay marriage. From your point of view, we're a lost cause. We've been "brainwashed by the liberal elite". Go peddle your fear mongering and hate speech in someplace more receptive like South Carolina or maybe Iran.

For all Palin supporters do not get your hopes up; for she will still have a tough battle to fight before she even steps a foot on the WH lawn. There are seasoned candiates who can and will put her in her place. Remember, Obama was a rock star and was elected; you now see where we are. Palin for 2012 would be a disaster This woman has more pacs and funds going than anyone I have ever known. CNN I feel that you need to quit reporting that anyone is a potential run for 2012 and all you do with Palin is boost her ego. You probably will not print this but all you do is print and keep alive this type of news when we have so much going on in this world with our economy, Afanganstan, health care and the list is long. I do not hate her I detest what she stands for; for she has spew hate since day one.

"... the core values of the Conservative movement." Don't they mean the Dominionist Movement?

I want to know what the hell is happening to this country. They're crawling out of the woodwork everywhere. Is this how the right wing acts when they don't get what they want. They terrorize the rest of us?

And Sarah Palin seemed to open that can of worms during the campaign last year. Why can't she just take her $1.25M, sell some books, and then slip quietly back into private life. Maybe we could then heal the wounds she inflicted.

Please run Sarah, PRETTY PLEASE! We want to watch you turn the GOP race into a comedic slide into insanity!!!!!

christmas comes early!

Palin fights to restore such treasured Conservative values as not teaching her daughter sex education, pocketing per diem expenses and using cronies to get ex-family members fired.

yeah those family values are as American as apple pie!

gag me with a snow shovel!

If Palin made $1.25 million for her book deal, then why does she need people raising money for her legal defense fund?

Shouldn't she be paying her way and not mooching off of people?

Just keep in mind, Iowa, that regardless of whatever she tells you, if she gets a better gig, she'll drop you in a second!

IFPC says it values and strengthens families? By asking a woman who abandoned her job and is on permanent leave from taking care of her special needs child to talk at a political function?

I don't get it ...

God help us!

As a now former Reagan Republican (partially because I felt choosing Palin was a fiasco of enormous proportions and an insult to Republicans) and an Iowan, I welcome the Campaign Killer to my state and will be happy to tell her just how little Iowans think of her.

Get a REAL candidate, RNC, and you might stand a chance of retaking the WH. If you trot out this empty suit as a viable candidate, you'll have the remaining half of your political hind end handed to you.

Simply bashing Obama does not make a strategy that can win. If you actually had some real ideas that got beyond the culture wars, you might become a real party again.

Oh good lord. Heaven help this country if the twit gets involved again.

Sarah Palin do not have the education nor skills to be president or v p of this great U S A

She quit her job as governor so she could get rich by appearing at republican political meetings....she's worthless and only in it for the money.
Sorry CNN, no wonder your ratings are failing....Mary Maitlin, Bill Bennett, and those other lying republican on your shows have made you lose credibility. You're now a laughingstock and your viewers are leaving you in droves.

Why is this woman even revelant?

I hope they run this twit in the next election!
I have no doubt we Democrats will take it, with her in the mix we are sure to win AGAIN!

Who cares... Honestly! Im sorry but i was not impressed with her during the elections and i sure as hell am not impressed with her now! I am so sick of hearing about 2012! its 2009... When will our politicians start caring more for us rather then their careers?

I'm giving 4 to 1 odds against Palin showing up.

What a waste of money.

May God have mercy upon each one of us !!

OMG – Ms. Palin in Iowa. As though we don't have enough problems in our State.

Sarah Palin has been and remains an embarrassment to herself and her Party. Unfortunately, she is incendiary and grandstands with the best of them. This is why the media covers her.

Ms. Palin – please do not contaminate our State with your orally-spewn venom, malaprops and verbal ignorance. Please stay in Alaska, stare into a mirror, and wink at yourself.

Dear Jesus,

Please let Palin be the GOP nominee, please let Palin be the GOP nominee, please let Palin be the GOP nominee!

That would be amazing!

Palin debating Obama on guns! Palin debating Obama on how icky gays are and how they have threatened the strength of her marriage! Palin debating Obama on how turning the economy around and passing universal healthcare has damaged the moral backbone of our country?

PLEASE LET PALIN BE THE GOP NOMINEE!

Imagine an America with a President Palin. It could be a country in which businesses and financial institutions lack regulations and that would be a disaster due to the greediness of banks and health insurance companies , to name a few. I believe this is a "not to worry" situation due to the conflicts within the GOP.

where can i donate money to the "sarah team" to ensure that palin gets the republican nomination. or is she forming her own party? either way, her candidacy would guarantee another four years for our president and leader, mr. obama. pardon me for borrowing the phrase, but "run baby run". can't wait to see the oprah follies.

Please run in 2012 Palin and remove Obama from The White House.

quick report it

59K + 41K = 100K?? It takes $100K to get Palin to appear in Iowa?

And..." this effort will actually help her and her family directly and enable her to have resources she directly controls to take care of all the things she needs to do"?????
So the money goes directly to her???
.
Nice to know Palin has her own 'ACORN' to go out on the side and solicit money and support for her.....and if anyone complains, then she denies "official" involvement with "Team Sarah"!
Didn't this same thing happen in Palin Ethics Investigation "8"?
This person should be proscecuted. Oh yeah, she WAS!

Iowa and beyond. Keep it going Sarah! Washington keeps getting more insane and more in need of someone like you to step in and remind them it's about the country and the people, not the politicians.

Glad I don't live in Iowa!

Why dont you people raise money and give it to the poor !!!

This woman quit her job as governor and got millions to write a coloring book. Now she has the nerve to ask for money? What's worse is that so many idiots are giving it to her. I wouldn't give this woman a penny even if I were a Republican, Conservative whatever. She didn't even finish her term!

What a joke.

What are those "score values"? Palin got a pregnant teen daughter then after she lost her VP vote, they have been in a fight. If that's not a dysfunctional family without score values, what is?

Why does a news agency, such as CNN, continue to speculate on Palin's political future and possible run for presidency? She left political office for good and it is untenable to consider her ever returning. Even she knows that. She left to enjoy the profits of her opinions, which appeal to a section of the USA that is too small for her to ever again gain office. She is in it for the money today, and tomorrow. Speculating on her bid for office makes as much sense as speculating on Balloon-Boy's father running for office. Sure, she might be an entertaining car crash, but that does not justify continuously telling us what a great driver she is. Just show us the crash and quit trying to read her tea leaves. Quit playing her fool. Quit baiting us when your bait bucket is empty. Stop it or I will be driven too mix more metaphors. You're killing me. Try doing some investigative journalism for a change, rather than inflating her press releases.

From your lips to God's ear!

Please, please, pretty please let her run in 2012!

OMGosh! Do real people actually give money to this looney bird woman?

The money should be used for a worthwhile cause like the homeless, not for this useless woman.

You've got to be kidding

Save the money- better yet donate it to sick children or to promote reading, or donate it to fix up a retirement home.
Better that than waste it on this polarizing spotlight hunting dunce.

Are there still some school dropouts that support GOP?

If she got paid 1.2 million why does she need to people to raise money for her? It seems to me she is getting rich for doing nothing.

I will send her money right away. Can someone make change for five cents?

CNN is obsessed with Sarah Palin. She must be doing something right as every move she makes is watched and analyzed 40 times over.

well she did say she wanted to take the money and run. This is the look of a person who sold out her civic duty as governor .

Former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin is the best the toxic and repugnant Republican Party can produce. How pathetic is that!

Big Oil and Immoral American Corporations are starving and desperate to the extreme!

Go Sarah, I hope all of the few remaining Republican voters Vote for you!

The Republicans are coming back, and no matter how CNN try to confuse the issues like they just did. The Democrats are finall going to get a kick in tghe teath...

dont waste your time effort or money! dimwits!ha ha ha!

When Is this LOSER PALIN going to get a life and not at our expense.

Who cares?!?! I went to Indiana today. Yesterday, a friend of mine went to Kentucky.
