Tonight Is the Night

At 8 p.m., Eastern Time, C-Span will telecast live Gov. Palin's speech from Iowa. This is 7 p.m. Central Time. It is a speech to watch. As the pundits twist and turn trying to determine if Palin is going to run for president she keeps them guessing. Trying to gauge her by the usual actions of prospective candidates, some think she isn't up to grassroots campaigning. Guys check out how she campaigned out for governor of Alaska. Check out how she welcomed the crowds at rallies during the 2008 presidental campaign and took extended time going through the crowds talking and handshaking. Others think Palin indeed may run and that if she does she will be a formidable force. I think if she runs she will run to win. So I'll be listening carefully to the speech tonight and watching the reactions to it.
