The former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee's upcoming book tour will taker her to Sioux City, Iowa, on Sunday December 6, according to an announcement posted on the Barnes and Noble Web site.
Palin will kick off the tour in Grand Rapids, Michigan on November 18, one day after her book, "Going Rogue: An American Life," is released.
Iowa's caucuses traditionally kick off the presidential primary season and any appearance in the Hawkeye State by a Republican who may be considering a run for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination sparks speculation.
Sioux City is in the heart of the conservative northwest part of Iowa.
Palin isn't the only possible Republican White House hopeful making an appearance in Iowa. Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor and 2008 Republican presidential candidate, visited three bookstores in eastern and central Iowa on Sunday to sign copies of his new holiday themed book. And Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty was in the state Saturday to give the keynote address at a major Iowa Republican party dinner.

"possible Republican White House hopeful "
Seriously? In what messed up alternate universe?
Please STOP covering this loon's every move. She's not worthy.
Does she still get Secret Service protection? Are we still paying for this?
"run Palin ruunnnnn!" "Stupid is as stupid does". It will be amusing seeing her lose in the primaries in 2012.
I can't believe she is visiting Dallas in December. Maybe someone should let her know that allas County was BLUE for the 08 Presidential election. She is not wanted here.
Huckabee has already broken ranks. They will throw her under the bus.
I bet she resigns (Palin-speak for "quits") from the book tour to spend more time with her family. Or because that terrible librul media will be out to get her with gotcha questions like "Will you sign this for me?"
Iowa: The Next Alaska
Yet another Palin story on CNN. I swear she must have some sort of deal with CNN. Surely there is better news to print? Surely someone there has something better to do???
I wonder how many Palin bashers have ordered her book. I'm really enjoying the lefty vitriol. You all are making the case for her....
This lady need to hang it up.
What we need to do is start boycotting CNN , this is not of anything of importance , so why keep putting this air head as a headliner , Start a blog for boycotting CNN because they are really starting to suck at journalism............
