Sarah Palin is launching a nationwide bus tour starting Sunday in Washington, a Palin source has confirmed to POLITICO. The first stop will be at the annual Rolling Thunder motorcycle rally. Palin will then travel up the East Coast in a trip that will include her first stop in New Hampshire since running as the GOP’s vice presidential nominee in 2008. Palin will also be stopping at other spots of symbolic national significance on the East Coast, including the Civil War battlefields at Gettysburg and Antietam, and the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. Palin’s camp intends to post more information on the trip on the recently revamped website for her political action committee. There were few details on the SarahPAC site following the announcement. “Starting this weekend, Sarah Palin will embark on a One Nation Tour of historical sites that were key to the formation, survival, and growth of the United States of America,” a statement on the site reads. “The tour will originate in Washington DC and will proceed north up the east coast. More information will follow.” Palin promised in a statement on her site that the tour would “celebrate the good things that bring Americans together; those things that will give us the needed strength to meet the heady challenges ahead.” “I’ve said many times that America doesn’t need a ‘fundamental transformation,’ instead we need a restoration of all that is good and strong and free in America!” Palin added. “So, together let’s prepare ourselves for the days ahead by reminding ourselves who we are and what Americans stand for. We’ll celebrate the meaning of our nation’s blueprints, our Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, which are the threads that weave our past into the fabric necessary for the survival of American exceptionalism.” A map showing Palin’s stops was blank when her website posted information on the tour. The site did, however, point her supporters to a donation page. In addition to the tour, Palin’s camp recently announced a two-hour promotional film about the former governor set to premiere in Iowa next month.
Rolling Thunder has evolved to be not only a demonstration for the POW/MIA issue but also a demonstration of patriotism and respect for soldiers and veterans from all wars.

She's a runnin' folks...
Yep. Maybe good news for Romney, but Gingrich, Cain, & Santorum can pack it in now. I wonder if Bachmann will still get in?
I sure hope so. Even though I don't believe Palin will run, watching the two of them attacking each other would be great entertainment.
