Palin won't be making CPAC appearance
[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/02/10/art.palin1.gi.jpg caption="Palin will not be attending this year’s CPAC, confirm organizers."](CNN) - Sarah Palin will not be attending the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington later this month, her office confirmed to CNN Tuesday.
The Alaska governor had been expected to serve as the headline attraction at the three day event, which is also scheduled to include conservative icons like Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter. The presidential straw poll conducted at the annual Washington gathering is widely viewed as a reliable bellwether of conservative support. Several of the GOP’s past - and potentially future - presidential hopefuls are also slated to address the gathering, including Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul.
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.
The former Republican vice presidential candidate, who recently launched SarahPAC to assist conservative candidates and cultivate a national network of supporters, visited Washington late last month to attend the exclusive Alfalfa Club dinner and several private events.
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.
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 –
President Regan

..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..
Is it possible she has learned that no one actually cares what she has to say? I doubt we could be so lucky.
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!
I think she was Reminded that she is the Gov. of Alaska.
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 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
Okay, what does that mean? "Sarah Palin will be the Reagan to Obama's Jimmy Carter." It makes my head hurt.
RUSH IS RIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please stay home Sarah, we really do not need you, ever.
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.
I hear Sarah is upset that she won't be able to wear some of Coulter's clothes.
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.
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.
so freakin what!!!
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.
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.
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?
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.
What self respecting person would want to share a stage with Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter anyway?
Ms. Palin,
As a lifelong liberal, please, Ms. Palin, please stay relevant in conservative politics.
Where is Africa anyway?
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.
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.
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.
