Sarah Palin Video: Do You Know the Way to San Jose?
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin on Jerry Brown and Barbara Boxer yesterday in San Jose, California
Sarah Palin found her way to San Jose yesterday on the campaign stump. But, for whom?
Palin, who resigned as governor 2 1/2 years into her term, delivered a 40-minute speech – complete with a trademark “You betcha!” – and answered a few questions afterward before a less-than-capacity audience of 1,400 at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts. Her paid appearance was sponsored by the conservative Liberty and FreedomFounda tion.
With husband Todd standing offstage – he’d just driven the family motor home down from Alaska – it was Palin’s first stop in her three-city swing through California over the next few days, a pilgrimage that appears designed both to raise her political profile, in preparation for a possible 2012 presidential run, and enthusiasm for GOP candidates.
Not that she mentioned any Republicans by name Tuesday. Not even Republican Senate nominee Carly Fiorina, endorsed by Palin last spring in California’s GOP primary. Fiorina and GOP gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman (who Palin has not endorsed) were invited to attend Thursday, but declined, said event spokesman J.D. Gordon, because of scheduling conflicts. Neither is expected to join Palin in Sacramento today or Anaheim on Saturday.
The answer is for Palin’s Presidential run in 2012.
Sarah’s money quote from yesterday’s speech: Re: Jerry Brown and Barbara Boxer: “act like they’re permanent residents of a unicorn ranch in fantasyland.”
Yeah, Sarah is running.

Are you absolutely kidding me with the “permanent residents of a unicorn ranch in fantasy land?”….seriously ms. palin, that is the best you have? This is the type of childish rhetoric one resorts to, only when they don’t have knowledge of…or a comfortable command of… the facts. Perhaps…she has no grasp of the permanent resident routine, considering she really doesn’t have any grasp of even the basic 4 year commitment routine, when you win an election and promise to do the job for a certain amount of time. It is okay for her to quit for more money, but not okay for anyone else to stick around…and even plan to be a permanent resident…at least as long as they are supposed to.
