Former half-term Gov. Sarah Palin has reportedly packed in her bus tour...halfway through.
Real Clear Politics is reporting that Palin and her family have returned to Alaska from their "One Nation" bus tour, despite tentatively scheduled stops in Iowa and South Carolina.
From Scott Conroy at RCP:
Though Palin and her staff never announced a timeline for the remaining legs of her trip, aides had drafted preliminary itineraries that would have taken her through the Midwest and Southeast at some point this month. But those travel blueprints are now in limbo, RCP has learned, as Palin and her family have reverted to the friendly confines of summertime Alaska, where the skies are currently alight for over 19 hours a day and the Bristol Bay salmon fishing season is nearing its peak.Palin's intent to visit Iowa and South Carolina, as well as one stop in New Hampshire, caused some speculation that she was starting to get serious about a run for president in 2012.
Whoops. And it seems like all the people who did throw their hats into the ring starved Moose Lady of the media attention she thrives on, so since her entire point of the bus tour was to get attention and not to run for President, she packed up her bus and went back home. She's now taking to her usual Facebook pulpit to deny she quit the bus tour and is in fact saying it will start again at some future unspecified date, so keep paying attention to Sarah Palin to see what wacky fun she'll have next. Entire point of Sarah Palin, fin. Chase that shiny object, boys!
Suckers. Best part is next time Sarah Palin does an event, it'll be "speculation is growing that she's returning to her bus tour and is considering a 2012 run" and the media will chase her around the country again whenever she decides America isn't paying enough attention to her and her spawn (and their lucrative book contracts).
Thus, the cycle begins again and again.
