‘Room for More’: Palin Greets Fans in Iowa Ahead of Tea Party Speech

Room for More: Sarah Palin Greets Fans in Des Moines Iowa Ahead of Tea Party Speech

URBANDALE, Iowa (The Blaze/AP) — Sarah Palin made a surprise appearance at a suburban Des Moines restaurant Friday evening on the eve of a speech in the leadoff caucus state that is being closely watched for signals of whether she plans to run for president.

The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican nominee for vice president was greeted at the Iowa Machine Shed restaurant Friday night with chants of “Run, Sarah, run!” as she made her way through hundreds of fans.

Hundreds jammed the entry, bar and back room of the farm-themed family restaurant, straining to get a look at the political celebrity. They were from dozens of states from as far away as Texas, Florida and California.

Palin has said she is considering entering the race for the 2012 GOP nomination, already under way in Iowa, which holds the first nominating caucus, and other early-voting states. She has said she expects to make a decision by the end of September, and is not expected to disclose her plans during her speech Saturday at a tea party rally in a town south of Des Moines.

Palin is expected to speak Saturday about the federal deficit, and criticize Democrat President Barack Obama and congressional leaders in both parties for the recent debt-ceiling standoff.

Accompanied by husband Todd, Palin worked the crowded restaurant, shaking hands, posing for pictures and hugging babies.

But Palin gave no speech, and instead listened as Peter Singleton, a California lawyer who has been organizing supporters for Palin in several states including Iowa, lauded her as a plain-spoken champion of conservative fiscal policy and limited government.

“If she runs, I believe she will win the nomination. And I believe she will win the general election,” Singleton said. “What is much more important, I believe she will govern effectively in the challenging days and years ahead.”

Still, when asked by a member of the crowd what she thought about the current crop of GOP candidates, Palin replied: “Happy with the field of candidates, I always think that there’s room for more though because spirited debate and more competition will allow an even better discourse, a more rigorous discourse that the public deserves.”

Palin has made several similar visits to Iowa since stepping down as Alaska governor two years ago. Last month, she was trailed by crowds of supporters and media at the Iowa State Fair.

However, Palin has not conducted any of the retail-style events aimed at putting her in touch with GOP activists in the key state, as others have for months. Likewise, Palin has had no conversations with leading Republican figures such as Gov. Terry Branstad, a common step among likely presidential candidates.

    I love her. I do. But her negatives are higher than anyone else’s. Now it is, it seems, way to late to get into this thing. Perry is in now. There are lots of conservatives running. Cain, Bachmann even Perry.
    She has my support as a supporter of whomever wins and beats the skinny pants off the Class Idiot in the White House.

      Her PERCEIVED negatives are greater than anyone else’s. These negatives are not anything or REAL SUBSTANCE, but a figment of the twisted imagination of the illusion producers, the MSM.

      I really believe the economic conditions and the ensuing poliitcal debates that they will bring about are going to make the American populace get VERY REAL about listening more carefully to WHO is addressing the REAL BASIC ISSUES, and producing REAL SOLUTIONS!

      That has the potential to turn them AGAINST the MSM, and deepen the ALREADY GROWING hostility against their PET POLITICIAN, Barak Obama.

      The people already don’t buy his “I’m for the people” act. They see that like Eric Holder, Barah Obama is for “My People”.

      Palin has nothing left to hide- talk about being vetted!!
      There are no surprises with her. I think she could beat the groundhog in the primary! The general election- – They have nothing left to throw at her-she survived and by all appearances has thrived.
      I onlyb hope she has a birth certificate (US preferably).

    Governor Palin has stated on numerous occassions that her decision would be based on whether conservative values were represented. The current roster of Republican candidates is diverse, experienced, and understands the fiscal issues of budget constraints, taxes, and job creation. I like her, plan to watch her speech today, but do not expect her to run in 2012.

Sarah’s office was bomabarded with lawsuits from the left. She thought it best to dod the best thing for her state and step out of the way and concentrate on being a driving force behind the tea party. This woman has what it takes.

In fact to me, Mrs Palin is the only (potential) candidate that would be tough enough to do what must be done to right this ship.

I believe that we are quiclky approaching the End of Days. It is written that every nation will go against Israel. If Obama is in office, then I am sure that we will, but there is speculation that the US may be the only safe haven. I don’t know, but everything will go as God has intended. I would personally rather have a true person of God running our country, because He is the only true leader. There are churches that have fallen out of standing with God, I believe the Methodists to be among them. They stand with the muslims against Israel among other things. Hopefully, peoples eyes will be opened.

      Romney is a RINO. He has proven that with Romney care.

      Also as a predicted Bachmann has fizzled out, she can not win the women vote, and she is unelectable on the basis of her being a DUMBASSSSSSS! and do not start in on Ron Paul for the love of pete. Him and Ross Perot need to sit in a barber shop somewhere and talk about which one is crazier.

    Don’t get me wrong here I do like Sarah Palin, however she should stay out of the race, if she gets in I think it will only hurt our chances of getting the man we all want out of office, out of office.

    The media has done a pretty good job of destroying this woman, and there are still way too many people who believe what the media is saying. We have way too many idiots out there who cannot or will not make there own minds up. They let the media do it for them.

    All of us better think long and hard about how the GOP goes about doing this. I have a bad feeling about this.

    Right now it should be a no brainier that he does not get reelected, however there are still way too many people out there who support this guy. Way too many people who like him “as a person”. Way too many people who do not see the destruction he is creating. Way too many people who think that his policies are not whats wrong with the economy, people still actually believe that it‘s still Bush’s fault that he left an economy that was far worse that anyone realized. The media keeps this notion going and they beleive it.

    People, do not underestimate this guys BS. We need to take this seriously, and think about a game plan that gets him out of office.

    The distraction that Palin would cause, just might be the closer for Obama. The media is going to have a field day over Palin.

      Only in the eyes of Liberals, and dupes who still pay attention to what they day, as though it really matters. That’s their playbook… to influence people to think that most people think like them. It’s a ruse. Once a general election campaign begins the right message will resonate with more than enough people to carry an election.

      I don’t believe an all-inclusive statement such as “all independents hate her” is necessarily true. Independents are seeking to have a party change-up, and if that means voting for Palin instead of Obama, so be it. Get over her voice already. At least she doesn’t use a teleprompter.

      America just isn’t used to a woman running the country, whereas the rest of the world seems to be more open to it. The fact is, if a woman wins she will most likely face more criticism and be more scrutinized than any male that has been in that position and Palin knows it, so she’s weighing the pros and cons very carefully, I’m sure.

      Found the following article on women and the presidency. Although it’s lefty-biased (speaks of all the dems), it has some incite on what women face when it comes to these highly-ranked positions:

      I use to be a big supporter of hers but now it’s getting old. She has no chance of winning & I’m getting sick of her popping everywhere & now she is saying she won’t know until the end of this month. I say forget it. Most of us are getting tired of this merry go round.

      … I’ve seen her speak three times and she is quite the dynamic personality. I like her and I like the fact that she can put a round through a Caribou’s eyeball at 500 meters! Liberal Marxist‘s don’t like that fact. That is just one reason why they are afraid of her. I wonder, are Sarah and Rachel Welch sister’s, because Sarah could pass for it. With all due respect … Woof.

    Latest poll from foxnews: Only 20% of Americans think she should run…. 74% of Republicans DON’T want her to run. Not just Rinos. Her support is weak and for good reason. Support another conservative with a chance. People have made up their minds on her and they either don‘t like her or don’t respect her or both.

    I am a conservative (love Bachmann and the Ricks, can’t stomach Romney and other Rinos) and my friends and family are conservatives and none of us want her to run and many don’t like her for a variety of reasons.

      Why don’t you want her to run? If she is as unpopular with Conservatives as you say, then she will never be a presence in the top two. So, nothing to worry about, then, right?

      I think if someone wants to run, then let the ideas play out to see who is best. I certainly wouldn‘t say Ron Paul shouldn’t run just because I don’t like some of his ideas.

      I think Sarah Palin would make a great President. I think her vision is great enough that she deserves to be the first woman President. We will know soon enough whether she will announce, and soon enough after she announces whether her candidacy is viable. But to make those pronouncements because your family and friends are against her….

      Now, your choice may be Obama or Palin, because the rest of us get a voice and a choice. Which will you choose?

      66% of the tea party & evangelical don’t want her to run either. I was a big supporter of hers but she waited too long & I don’t want her to run. It’s getting to look as if she just wants attention & not serious about running. She won’t win anyway. I like Perry but Romney might be the best one to go against Obama but hate to wait until the debate is over.

    Wellllll…..ANYBODY but BHO!!!! If Palen runs I am afraid it would divide the voters, and give Hussien another 4 years..I like Palen alot, and she puts fire in the belly, but just not sure about how it would effect the election, and the main focus is to get Obummer out of the White House.

      Here is the plan; the POTUS (alleged) will not run. Hillary will though and it will be to cover the Socialist/Marxist agenda that is now so deeply rooted in the USA framework. She will only continue down the same path. The POTUS (alleged) will never have to prove he is a Citizen of the United States of America. The plan has worked to perfection.

    Sorry Blaze, but Sarah Palin does not deserve to be associated with 50% unemployment. Your “Sponsored Messages” which are placed so as to trick readers into reading them as they may have something to do with the story are annoying.
    Low class advertising tactic. No furthur comment.

      Oh, she lacks the almighty blessing of your elite, washed, socialist democrat, mainstream media?
      Is that your point?

      That’s a HUGE plus for her.
      The fact that YOU dislike her, steelhead, is ALL THE MORE reason to LOVE Sarah !!!
