If there weren’t already enough speculation about a possible Palin presidential campaign, this would have done the trick. RealClearPolitics reports:
“Starting this weekend, Sarah Palin will embark on a ‘One Nation’ tour of historical sites that were key to the formation, survival, and growth of the United States of America,” SarahPAC treasurer Tim Crawford said in a statement to RealClearPolitics. “The tour will originate in Washington, D.C. It will proceed north up the east coast.”
… Members of Palin’s immediate family are expected to join her on the trip, which will eventually take her through key early voting states.
The timing of this is interesting. The Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza just noted, “there remains no evidence in any early voting primary or caucus state that she or her political team are doing anything to lay the groundwork for a 2012 bid.”
Could it be that Palin is rapidly moving to make up for lost time?
