Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will appear at a New Hampshire tea party rally this weekend. The Tea Party Express on Tuesday announced that Palin is slated to attend a Manchester rally on Labor Day, two days after the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee is to speak at a tea party rally in Iowa. Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary traditionally are open the political nominating season.

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin on Tuesday shot down speculation that she is close to deciding whether to jump into the 2012 presidential race, after talk that she would announce her plans during the Labor Day holiday weekend in early September.

Karl Rove said Sunday he thinks former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will get into the Republican presidential contest. Mr. Rove, the top political adviser in the George W.

GOP presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann is spending the day in South Carolina, and started it off by saying the perceived tension between her ...

Sarah Palin is in Iowa today. Michele Bachmann announced her candidacy there on Monday. For reporters, that’s a coincidence(?) impossible to resist; scads of stories are being produced comparing the two women.
The comparisons between Palin and Bachmann are, at one level, apt. Both are women (duh) who align most closely with social conservatives. Both are outspoken defenders of their chosen causes whose rhetoric occasionally gets them into hot water.

The first thing that's wrong with the new documentary glorifying former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is the title."The Undefeated" profiles Palin's rise as a national heroine to the tea party, but it fails to mention that she's actually been defeated.

So Sarah Palin is taking a field trip. The former Alaskan governor has a coach bus painted with images of purple mountain majesties and the U.S. constitution, which she plans to use to make stops in historic Northeast sites familiar to grade-school civics classes. Along the way, she plans to remind Americans that they are “one nation under God,” to appreciate the country’s “diverse cultures,” and to “discover the ties that bind Americans.”

As grumbles about the lackluster Republican presidential field grow louder, reports of the return of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin are growing stronger.
