Sarah Palin fans are certain that the economy would be better and the war on terrorism would be won if she was president. The Uptake's independent reporter Craig Martin Stellmacher visited Minnesota's Mall of America to cover Sarah Palin's book signing there on Monday, December 7th. He found thousands of devoted Palin fans lined up, some for hours and some that had traveled for hours across Minnesota to see her. Stellmacher believes the size of the crowd was only topped by that attending Obama's healthcare speech in Minneapolis this summer. The Uptake reporter stayed clear of the tomato throwing incident but was able to interview two young women who had come to meet Sarah Palin dressed in their own beauty pageant sashes and tiaras.
