The last few days seemed very quiet regarding Sarah Palin news. But things heated up again today as Palin signed books from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Curtis D. Menard Sports Center in her hometown of Wasilla.
The Anchorage Daily News reports that "at least 750 people have turned out in Sarah Palin's hometown to get a signed copy of the former governor and Republican vice presidential candidate's best-selling memoir, "Going Rogue.""
Palin had received a warm welcome one week ago at Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage and Eielson Air Force Base near Fairbanks, but since the bases didn't have time to prepare for the general public, they were only open to military personnel.
Due to an overwhelming response, Palin vowed to hold another Alaska signing that everyone could visit and that was the event that took place today.
The Anchorage Daily news reported that, "the Wasilla event felt more like a homecoming than anything. Most people waiting in yellow-rope cordoned lines on the indoor turf floor of the sports complex live in the Valley. Many said they knew Palin, her children or her parents personally."
It seems as though today's book signing won't be the only thing to discuss as Palin tweeted this before heading to the event...
"Heading 2 book signing event but will b posting on FaceBook page new,grave concerns about Congress/Prez"rushed" action2 take over healthcare."
With Palin's Facebook posts becoming major news stories, it will be interesting to hear what the former Governor has to say about the health care bill moving forward in the Senate.

Surprised that only an adoring audience was present for Palin? Reportedly, Harper Collins had a progressive blogger and an Alaskan reporter escorted off the premises, after they were ID'd by photo ID. Interesting that Palin regulates who can attend her events. Heaven forbid it would be anyone who would challenge her or want her to elaborate on her "refreshing ideas." Search Sarah Palin bans bloggers.
Best-selling author & buxom beauty queen Sarah Palin is always popular with the people.
What's wrong with banning progressives? Hell I wish we could ship all progressives to Cuba, China, N.Korea or any other commie country of their choice, since they feel the US isn't progressive enough.
Um, hey Mary B? Maybe you wanna go read up on communism, Cuba, China, and N. Korea. Then maybe you wanna look up the definition of progressive. Then maybe you wanna ask yourself what kind of people values a leader who bans unfavorable press and handpicks an audience.
Perhaps - just sayin' - it's Sarah Palin who needs to choose another country to live in. I'm pretty sure her adoring fans will follow her there. America, the land of the free, doesn't seem to be the place of her choosing.
