Sarah Palin announced on her Facebook Notes page this morning that she's ready to hit the campaign trail for "commonsense candidates" Rick Perry, John McCain and Michele Bachmann:
Ride the Tide with Commonsense Candidates!CNN's Political Ticker:
I want to again thank the good people of Massachusetts for propelling a commonsense, independent agenda forward! May the working man and woman feel empowered now more than ever to get involved in their government, and let's put this great country on the right track.
The past year continues to offer the promise of commonsense government in so many areas. There are steps we can all take to get there, one of which is to support candidates who promise to fight for the people and against politics as usual. I'm excited to get out and help elect candidates who will bring those principles to our nation's towns, state houses, and directly to Washington D.C. We are already making plans to support the candidates our nation needs to make a difference and speak for everyday Americans.
I look forward to helping Governors like Rick Perry in Texas, Representatives like Michele Bachmann in Minnesota, and heroes and statesmen like Senator John McCain. We will support these candidates and others so that they can continue to fight for our American values.
The special election yesterday in Massachusetts was truly amazing. It is a clear indication of things to come and a demonstration of the momentum we all share in the fight for the values and policies that will get our country back to work. The commonsense conservative principles of liberty and fiscal responsibility are on the rise, and that's why I'm going out and campaigning as hard as I can to make a difference. I can't wait to join all of you in supporting these great candidates and many more over the coming months.
In the meantime, visit the websites of Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann, and John McCain. And join us as we embark on America's journey to November!

"Sarah Palin, McCain's former running mate and perhaps the most powerful brand in Republican politics, will stump for McCain in Arizona on March 26 and 27, a Palin adviser told CNN."Politico's Ben Smith:
[...]
"Palin has already endorsed Perry in his primary fight against Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison; she will appear with the governor in Houston on Feb. 7."
"Palin and Bachmann, meanwhile, will team up on April 7 in Minnesota."
"Palin's return to electoral politics -- and to primary politics in particularly -- suggests that she isn't content merely to be a media figure with her new Fox News contract, but intends to be active in shaping the Republican Party in her own image."Update: Register for free tickets to the Super Sunday Perry-Palin event in Houston here.

Conservative purists may not like the fact that Sarah is going to stump for McCain. Seeing that it was McCain along with Bush and Graham tried to ram through the amnesty bill, this could be a bad idea for Sarah. I understand why she is doing it though. I believe for some unknown reason, Sarah thinks highly of John McCain. She could be campaigning for Juan McCain, because she is grateful that McCain picked her to be his VP running mate. It would look bad I guess if Sarah didn't help McCain if he asked her to.The media would be saying how cold hearted she is, she's acting like a diva, she's "gone rogue". Hopefully conservatives won't get on her case to much over this and just understand that Sarah values loyality and friendship.
