More Unconfirmed Events, Jennifer Rubin Calls Palin One of the Leaders of the Tea Party/Open Thread
-Jennifer Rubin of Commentary Magazine notes that David Brooks omitted one person out in his ridiculous op-ed discussing potential leaders of the Tea Party movement:
And as for his concern about “mediocre” leadership of this populist movement, he seems unaware of an extremely dynamic figure who has embraced the Tea Party movement and they, her. She wrote a book – and millions of them turned out to get it signed. She has more than a million people on her Facebook page, which enables her to entirely bypass the mainstream media, including the Gray Lady, of course. She took up the issue of health-care rationing and made “death panels” the most widely understood objection to ObamaCare. Elites don’t much care for her, but then that’s just fine with the Tea Party troops.
-Governor Palin will allegedly speak at the "Woman of Joy Conference" sometime between Apirl 16-18th in Louisville, Kentucky and the "Get Motivated" seminar on February 8th in Houston, Texas. Neither event has been confirmed by anyone from Palin's camp. (h/t Beehive)
-The Wall Street Journal's Law Blog examines the arguments advanced by Governor Palin and liberal Michael Kinsley.
-Barack Obama's approval rating in Connecticut is 54%. He won 62% of the vote in Connecticut in 2008.

Sarah Palin is the de facto leader of the Tea Party Movement. We at C4P all know it. Yes, Rick Santelli spawned the idea with an offhanded comment, but without the purity of conviction exhibited by Sarah Palin IMHO the TPM would not have taken off so fast or grown in numbers so quickly. To put it another way would the movement have embraced Romney or Huckabee as it has Palin? I don't think so. Palin and the TPM are sympatico. It is one thing for Palin to be on her own but when there millions of Americans who embrace her wholeheartedly that is an entirely different matter and politically very threatening to the Far Left.
I wonder if she'll get to run into Colin Powell in Houston? I still can't get over how he totally sandbagged his own party and his supposed friend and fellow veteran John McCain.
And he made it a point to single out his running mate when he admitted he'd never met her or spoken with her. A guy who is where he is in large part because of conservative Republicans like Reagan and Cheney and even W. And here he has his party, the one that made him natl sec advisor and JCS and SecState, the party that was ready to bow before him to nominate him for President and make him the 1st black President and leader of the world...Said party nominates a good friend of his and fellow veteran, a man he'd donated the maximum to. His friend wants to make history as well and nominates a woman for VP and as the future leader of his party and Powell can't find the time to say hello, but he can find the time to go on Meet The Press 2 weeks before the election and attack her in front of the whole country, and endorse a far left liberal with no military experience and a guy as running mate who Powell knew had shown no respect at all for the military? How disappointing.
Ironically, if Powell had run in 1996 he would have won easily and no one would have cared about Obama in 2004 because we'd already have had a black President.
The 8th looks pretty busy for her. She supposedly has 2 speeches in Redding CA at 3PM and 8PM PST and now this thing in TX from 6-1045AM PST. I guess if she does one of the early sessions and finishes before noon she can still make all three because of the time difference.
But I'd probably find a way to fit a third speech too for the fee she's likely getting.
After Powell became a turncoat and showed his RINO colors and endorsed that empty suit only because he was black I lost all respect for him and I would have voted for him in '96, now I have nothing but contempt for him.
She already ran into <span>Colin Powell at the Alphalfa dinner last year. I believe he even had something nice(for him anyways) to say about her on Larry King last year.</span>
But yeah....he's waaaaaaaaaaaay in the tank for Obama. Didnt matter who the vp nominee was in 2008 <span>Colin Powell was 100% Team Obama regardless.
