Palin's plans questioned as she stops in Iowa

(AP) – 54 minutes ago

SIOUX CITY, Iowa — Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah
Palin is raising more speculation about a possible presidential bid with
a stop in Iowa during her national book-signing tour.

Iowa's caucuses have traditionally launched the presidential nominating
season.

Palin's book-signing tour has been carefully controlled, and she has not
spoken to reporters at most events.

Still, her appearance in Iowa is seen as significant.

Veteran Republican activist Tim Albrecht says politicians don't just
happen to stop in Iowa and Palin must know that her visit is seen as a
signal she is considering a run.

Another possible Republican contender, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, also
visited the state recently.

Please, Sarah...run and get your party's nomination. You'll lose,
big-time, and we can then put to bed for a century or so the idea that
morons like you and G.W. Bush are qualified to hold the highest
political office in the land.
