More reaction to Gov. Palin's NY weekend

*
Don Surber:

AP put the crowd at 20,000. They liked her. Bill Oberkoetter of Pittsford carried a sign: "Hey Alaska, wanna swap governors?"

Midknight Review:

"While Chris Matthews is wetting his pants over Obama and doing nothing to fix the problem, Sarah Palin actually decided to try."

Greta Wire:

Is this a beginning? [...] She seems to have retreated to Alaska only politics...but is this a new sign?

Macsmind:

Here’s the prediction, Sarah Palin will be the ticket in 2012. Her return to the road signals this...

Carol's blog:

Sarah -- the brave one -- did not hold back on her condemnation of BHO and other government big spenders.

Pat Dollard:

Sarah Palin is popular because she speaks unvarnished Conservatism.

BitsBlog:

Keep in mind; Auburn is not an overly large place. Yet turn out there seems to have been many times that size of the population of the town. I wonder if the GOP leadership is listening.

God, Guts & Sarah Palin:

On the campaign trail, Sarah Palin said that her Psalm was Psalm 27. It really is quite fitting, if you think about it.

Caffeinated Thoughts:

I haven’t seen any other potential 2012 GOP candidate generating this kind of excitement. What kind of crowds is Mitt Romney (who seems to be running full-time for 2012) drawing even though he’s being favored by a popular GOP "kingmaker"?

Riehl World View:

Sarah Palin certainly is hitting all the right notes. And despite the critics, she has that unlearnable something most politicians crave - charisma.

Mayor Graham's View:

I signed up for the photo shoot and posed with the Governor and her husband, Alaska's "First Dude", Todd Palin. They were both gracious and seemed to be enjoying their sojourn through upstate New York history.

Associated Press(!):

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is using her public profile to draw attention to the needs of those with autism and other developmental disabilities in the New York metropolitan area.

The Strata-Sphere:

Sarah Palin is the probably the best hope for defeating President Obama in 2012. While Obama’s tragic economic missteps are just now beginning to sow the seeds of a voter backlash, Palin is still able to mobilize 20,000 Americans on a sleepy June Saturday in a small town [in] upper New York State.

The Pink Flamingo:

The reality of the world is the fact that it is rather obvious this woman is stepping out (in red heels - again) to show the doubters of the world just how strong, bright, and informed she is.

The Next Right:

I think the media stereotype of Governor Palin as a one dimensional partisan pit bull may be subject to revision as time goes on. And whether or not this benefits her political fortunes, it is refreshing to see attention paid for causes that frankly, have been ignored by many in the fashionable media.
