Supporters hope to lure Sarah Palin to Iowa on Nov. 21st
The Iowa Family Policy Center is trying to lure Sarah Palin to town for a speech next month, and they have asked a group of Palin backers to help pay for the appearance. Team Sarah, a political organization that promotes the 2008 vice-presidential candidate, sent a fundraising appeal to supporters Tuesday. They hope to raise $41,000, according to CNN.
The Iowa Family Policy Center is an influential, social conservative group that promotes the sanctity of life and marriage. Palin backers hope her appearance at the November 21st event would be the first step toward a 2012 Presidential bid.
The former Alaska governor is wildly popular among Republicans in the Hawkeye State. She drew a crowd on 10,000 supporters to an appearance at Hy-Vee Hall in downtown Des Moines last year. Palin might be the only candidate who could defeat Mike Huckabee in the 2012 Iowa Caucus. Social conservatives make up the base of the Iowa GOP and helped springboard Huckabee's victory here in 2008.
Palin's book, "Going Rogue: An American Life", is scheduled to hit stores on November 17th. The book leapt to the top of the Amazon and Barnes & Noble bestseller lists just a few hours after the release date announcement. She will appear on "Oprah" the day after the release, and hopefully in Iowa three days later.
