Sarah Palin Video: The Iowa GOP Ronald Reagan Dinner
Sarah Palin speaking to the Iowa Republican Party tonightWill Sarah Palin run for President in 2012?
The political eyes of the nation and world will be watching Sarah Palin’s scheduled appearance in Iowa tonight for signals about her plans.
More than 50 news media organizations, from as far away as London, plan to cover the Republican Party’s biggest celebrity when she headlines the Iowa Republicans’ marquee fundraiser in Des Moines. It’s her first appearance in Iowa as a 2012 presidential prospect.
But there is little about Palin’s visit to the leadoff caucus state to suggest whether the 2008 vice presidential nominee is weighing a campaign for president.
When Sarah decides she will run there will be a full court press and a social media storm. For now, as I have said before, she will wait and see just how vulnerable President Obama is before committing to a 2012 Presidential campaign.
Plus, we will see how many of her endorsed POLS win seats in the next Congress.
In the meantime, Sarah will maintain a high profile with a new book and Fox News commentary.
Sarah Palin may be edging closer to a 2012 presidential run, telling Fox News “I would give it a shot” if the American people think she’s “the one.”
The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee was in Des Moines, Iowa, Friday for the Reagan Dinner, a big GOP fundraiser in the heart of water-testing country for presidential candidates.
Palin has remained coy about her ambitions, but she elaborated a bit in an interview with Fox News, attaching several conditions to the possibility of a 2012 presidential run.
“If the American people were to be ready for someone who is willing to shake it up, and willing to get back to time-tested truths, and help lead our country towards a more prosperous and safe future and if they happen to think I was the one, if it were best for my family and for our country, of course I would give it a shot,” she said.

Day By Day September 17, 2010 – The Other Cheek
Government bureaucracy, Chris. This is how “Big Government” rolls.Have you seen how well the City of Los Angeles has done with their $111 Million in Obama Economic Stimulus funds?
Two Los Angeles departments have received $111 million in federal stimulus funds yet have created only 55 jobs so far, according to a pair of reports issued Thursday by City Controller Wendy Greuel.
The reports conclude that the agencies, Public Works and Transportation, moved too slowly in spending the federal money, in part because of the time it takes to secure approval of government contracts. The two agencies plan to create or retain a combined 264 jobs once all the money is spent, according to the reports.
With unemployment above 12%, city officials should move more urgently to cut red tape and spend the money, Greuel said. “The process needs to be changed to make sure we get these projects out as quickly as possible,” she said.
Yeah, that is right, waste more of the money that has been allocated. Spend it more quickly. Geeeez……
Remember, this is how “Big Government” rolls: $2 Million per job.
