Palin draws hundreds at Iowa book signing
Hundreds of fans of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin gathered at a bookstore in Sioux City, Iowa, waiting early Sunday morning for Palin to arrive and begin autographing copies of her book, “Going Rogue.”
A few camped in the parking lot overnight for the chance to be at the front of the line when the former Alaska governor entered at about 1:30 p.m., about an hour and a half later than scheduled.
Jennie Klatt of Spencer, Iowa, was among those who braved single-digit temperatures and the fierce winds that campers say tore through the area overnight.
“Sarah Palin is so courageous. She’s put her political career on the line so many times to take a principled stand,” said Klatt, who said that she wants Palin to run for president in 2012.
Michael Thompson of Council Bluffs, said he would like to see Palin start campaigning in Iowa. Thompson, who attended the State Tea Party Convention in Des Moines last month, stood in line Sunday to get an autograph – and to hand Palin a couple of letters.
