Palin Joins GOP Rebranding Effort After Ignoring Calls

Gov. Sarah Palin has joined a list of Republicans who will take part in listening tours across the country.

House Minority Whip Eric Cantor, R-Va., on Monday said Palin has joined the panel list for the National Council for a New America, which was created to rebrand the party's image.

The listening tour was launched Saturday. Former presidential candidate Mitt Romney, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Cantor held a town-hall style meeting in Arlington, Va., where they heard about people's concerns on issues from the economy and health care to the rising costs of college tuition.

The council, which plans listening sessions in other cities, also includes Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour and Sen. John McCain.

The spokesperson for Palin's political action committee, SarahPAC, said Palin was honored to participate, as long as everyone understood Alaska comes first.

Spokesperson Meghan Stapleton said in an e-mail to The Associated Press that Palin "is focused on moving Alaska forward and pushing for her goals which include providing energy independence and security for Alaskans and Americans.

"Alaska comes first"...that means as the time gets closer, she'll cancel out as she's done with everything else. She knows she's waaaaaay out of her league.

Gov. Sarah Palin
Is an awesome conservative lady.
The left hates her But then again, They are just tax and spend tax and spend.
Anything else would be too conservati­ve....wow!­!!
Atleast she doesnt want illegals to vote.
She would have given the people of Gaza millions, or Acorn millions.
Like your new President did.

I think the "rebranding" aint gonna work. To some degree the GOP has learned IT'S PALIN THAT NEEDS THE REBRANDING!

[coco51]

so is she signed up for the REBRANDING or LISTENING TOUR? which is it? I await her clarification while not holding my breathe!

Listening to the choir. What a novel idea. Anyone want to start a poll n the locations. St. Tammany Parish, LA couldn't be more red and I guarantee they will be listening. Sad thing is their supporters will not see it for the farce it is.

Every time I see Sarah Palin these days, I think of what Ross Perot used to say:

"It's just sad, Larry."

I feel sorry for any witches she meets along the way.

I think this project is doomed to fail they can't even agree on who is calling the shots let along listening to anyone!

[Veggie-Trunks]

We'll see how successful they are in rebranding their image.

National Council for a New America, hmm. How about Nut Cases for a Neurotic America?

""The council, which plans listening sessions in other cities, ...""

""Palin "is focused on moving Alaska forward and pushing for her goals ...""

Which part of listening does Palin not understand???
