The Associated Press tells us:
PHOENIX — John McCain and Sarah Palin are scheduled to campaign together in Arizona next week for the first time since they conceded the presidential election in Phoenix in 2008.
Palin and McCain will be at a rally and picnic in Tucson on March 26, followed the next day by a rally in the

You can’t argue with success, especially in an industry as depressed as the book-publishing business. With Sarah Palin having sold 2.2 million copies of her first book (so far), HarperCollins this morning announced she’s writing another one for them. Here’s how they describe her second endeavor as an author:
Sarah Palin’s new

RICHMOND — State Delegate Bob Marshall of
Manassas says disabled children are God’s punishment to women who have aborted their first pregnancy.
He made that statement Thursday at a press

That Super Bowl ad, I’m sure, is going to launch 1,000 parodies. Here’s one:

Gibbs, of course, was poking fun at Sarah Palin’s use of her hand over the weekend at the Tea Party Convention, which Sarah Palin proceeded …
This is an excellent essay by Kurt Andersen, tying together many of the threads about the ugly and recalcitrant nature of populism that I’ve been posting on in recent days. Anderson makes an important point that is, at once, completely obvious but rarely remarked upon: populism became more a right-wing movement in the 20th century …
Chris Wallace has taken a lot of criticism in recent months from the White House and other Democrats for allegedly crossing that hazy Fox News line between news gathering and conservative punditry. But on Sunday, Wallace had his Fox News colleague Sarah Palin as a guest, and it was a real journalistic interview. Unlike Fox News’s Bill …
The Q&A portion of Sarah Palin’s appearance before the National Tea Party Convention was supposed to be a casual give and take of a few pre-submitted and pre-screened questions. We don’t know if Palin got those questions in advance but at one point during the session she seems to be reading something off of her hand and then, later on, …
The Grand Ole Opry may have been next door but Sarah Palin preached to the choir on Saturday at the National Tea Party Convention and brought down the house.

After a long public records fight, msnbc.com finally got the goods on Todd Palin’s role in the Alaska state government when his wife was governor. About 3,000 pages of e-mails just released show that …
Here’s my take from the first day – which was mostly meet and greet. Later in the evening former Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo delivered a predictable speech on immigration reform and the health care bill – an updated version of his 2008 stump speeches during his short-lived presidential campaign — as the audience munched on warm …
In what will be one of the biggest thematic swings in my reporting career, a week after getting back from Haiti I’m heading to Nashville, Tennessee to cover the first ever National Tea Party convention.
As with any kind of grassroots movement, holding a national convention is somewhat of an oxymoron. Before dispatching me, my boss, …
