Palin to keep low-profile on Wisconsin trip


(CNN) - Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is set to deliver remarks at a
Wisconsin Right to Life event Friday evening, one of the few speeches
the former Republican vice presidential nominee will have given since
she resigned the governorship last summer.

But Palin appears to be doing her best to keep a low profile on this
trip: no press will be allowed into the Milwaukee auditorium where she
will speak and those who have paid the $30 admittance fee are unable to
carry in cell phones, cameras, laptops, or recording devices of any kind.

Wisconsin Democratic Party Chairman Mike Tate told the Wisconsin Radio
Network he finds all these restrictions "bizarre."

"You know, for someone who claims to be a rogue and isn't afraid of what
other people think it really is sort of hypocritical to not let the
media, the press cover your event."

Meanwhile Wisconsin Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus said he's
excited Palin is coming to his state, but stressed the party has nothing
to do with this event or its limitations.

Palin's speech comes a day after a new national poll suggests the former
Alaska governor may face some obstacles should she decide to run for the
White House. According to the new Gallup survey, only about one in three
Americans would seriously consider casting their vote for her.

The speech also comes a week and half before Palin's highly-anticipated
memoir "Going Rogue: An American Life" is released. The Alaska
Republican will commence a national book tour soon after and sit down
for high-profile interviews with Oprah Winfrey and Barbara Walters.
