More Events Scheduled For Sarah!

Fox News:

AUSTIN, Texas -- Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is heading to Texas to campaign with Republican Gov. Rick Perry on Feb. 7.

The Perry campaign issued a statement Wednesday saying the former Alaska governor will join Perry at a rally in the Houston area. More details will be released in the coming days.

Perry says he and Palin share "conservative values of limited government, low taxes and individual freedom." Palin endorsed Perry in his re-election big last year, and it was expected that she would campaign with him at some point.

Perry faces U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison and party activist Debra Medina on March 2 in the Republican

Washington Post:

PHOENIX -- Sarah Palin and Sen. John McCain plan to campaign together again.

The Arizona Republican announced Wednesday that the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate will join him in Phoenix on March 26 to help campaign for his re-election to the U.S. Senate.

Palin is scheduled to attend a private fundraising event that evening. The next day, she and McCain will appear together at a public event, likely a rally, according to McCain spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan.

"I'm looking forward to getting back on the campaign trail with my former running mate, and I know my fellow Arizonans will welcome her, as well," McCain said in a statement. "Sarah energized our nation and remains a leading voice in the Republican Party."


Since their failed bid for the White House, McCain and Palin have had a couple of public appearances together, including a dinner in Washington. But the March events will mark the first time the pair will be on the campaign trail together since 2008, Buchanan said.

Palin has criticized McCain's campaign since their loss, saying in her book "Going Rogue" that there was substantial tension between her advisers and McCain's. She also details how she was prevented from delivering a concession speech in Phoenix on Election Night, and how she'd been kept "bottled up" from reporters during the campaign.

Palin hasn't criticized McCain himself, and the senator has stood by his decision to choose Palin as his running mate and has staunchly defended her.

Earlier this month, McCain refused to discuss material in "Game Change," a book that says Palin's vetting was "hasty and haphazard."

"I wouldn't know," McCain said on NBC's "Today" show. "The fact is, I'm proud of Sarah Palin and I'm proud of the campaign she waged. She energized our party."

During the interview, McCain predicted Palin will be a "major player" in GOP affairs.


WXVT 15:

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin will be the keynote speaker at an Arkansas Republican Party fundraising event on Feb. 16 in North Little Rock.

The party announced Monday that general admission tickets to see Palin at Verizon Arena are $65 and $35 and go on sale Friday. Tickets will be available at the arena box office or through Ticketmaster.

Palin, a Fox News contributor and former governor of Alaska, will also attend a dinner and reception. The state Republican Party is selling those tickets separately through its office. Admission to the reception is $500 and includes a photo with Palin. Tickets to the dinner are $175.

Oregon Live:

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin skipped Oregon during her book tour and - come to think of it - during the 2008 presidential campaign as well. But she will finally make it Oregon on April 23 when she speaks at a fundraiser for the Lane County Republican Party.

Lane County GOP Chairman Bill Young told the Eugene Register-Guard that local Republicans have been working with Palin for nearly a year to bring her to the area. He refused to say how much she is getting paid and noted that her contract with a speaker's bureau prohibits any disclosure of her fee.

Palin faced some controversy over speaking fees when an Iowa group, the Iowa Family Policy Center, reportedly tried to come up with $100,000 to bring Palin to the state. That caused quite a bit of consternation with Republican groups in the state who are accustomed to politicians coming to the state for free, what with the Iowa caucuses being at the head of the line of the presidential nomination process every four years.

It's unclear, however, where that $100,000 number came from. A Palin spokeswoman later told Newsweek that the former governor had not asked for a fee from the group.

At any rate, Palin will speak at a Lincoln Day Dinner for the party, which was pushed back later in the year to accommodate her schedule. Young also did not say how much it will cost to attend the dinner - although he said those in the front of the room can expect to pay more.
