Palin gets 1,070+ invitations
By: Mike Allen
August 31, 2009 08:50 AM EST

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin this week will begin accepting and rejecting the more than 1,070 invitations she has received for paid speeches and political appearances since she resigned as Alaska governor, aides said.

Twenty speakers’ bureaus made offers to represent her. She has signed with Washington Speakers Bureau, which represents everyone from George and Laura Bush to Bob Woodward and Katie Couric to Alan Greenspan, Colin Powell and Rudy Giuliani.

More than 950 requests for speeches have poured in for Palin, and over 120 candidates for office have asked her to appear, including folks running for Senate, House and state legislature, aides said.

Palin will be doing both paid speeches, which are expected to go for six figures apiece, and unpaid speeches for political and charitable causes, including Christian organizations, groups that support families with special-needs children, and military families.


Palin has made no commitments so far, and Washington Speakers Bureau will start responding to the invitations this week.

She’s about 85 percent finished with her book, due out this spring from HarperCollins. Then she’ll begin looking through the inch-and-a-half-thick file her lawyer, Robert Barnett, has built of offers for network and cable pundit gigs, documentaries and business opportunities.

Just sit back and watch the Dems put someone like Palin in control. They seem to like creating a celebrity.

The "leader" of the republicans has yet to be found. The Dems seem lost in their attempt to "demonize", who to "demonize"

You don't hear much complaining from the Repubs. about the Dem policies, cause they are sitting back, and determining how they are going to approach.

"In conflict, straightforward actions generally lead to engagement, surprising actions generally lead to victory."

"Thus those skilled in war subdue the enemy's army without battle .... They conquer by strategy."

The Republicans seem to be doing very well in the polls even without a leader. With the Democrats blowing the deal, the Republicans don't need to do anything other than show up.
