Palin approaches

A bit more on the Palin book tour, in advance of her appearance in Washington County tomorrow.

Here's Politico from Noblesville, Indiana:

More than 1,000 people queued up outside a Borders bookstore during a cold rain in rock-ribbed Republican Hamilton County, an event covered by few print reporters but many broadcast crews, including those from six area television stations, Entertainment Tonight and Inside Edition.

The Indy Star notes the crowd was smaller than the 1,500 to 3,000 that organizers were anticipating. Here's what Palin said before the event started:

"My story. My words. Unfiltered," Palin told more than 1,000 before signing copies."You guys are hardcore patriots, and I thank you so much for being here," she said to fans as they waited outside.

"I wrote my book dedicated to good Americans like all of you; hard-working, patriotic Americans. . . . We had a great time a year ago in Indiana, but I think I'm having even more fun now."

The Army is barring the media from Palin's stop at Ft. Bragg, saying it could turn into a political/anti-Obama event.

Palin is in Cincinnati and Columbus today. Her political action committee, SarahPAC, is holding a private fundraiser before the noon event in Cincy, the Enquirer reports.

PS, not everybody on the right is in her corner. This post from Pajamas Media is called "Palin is No Reagan: Where the Gipper used his gifts of communication to inspire his audience, Palin unfortunately uses her talents to breed anger and resentment."
