Sarah Palin signs books, meets with Jim Gibbons in the Biggest Little City
When Sarah Palin went rogue, it meant some headaches for the GOP, but who knew it would also cause headaches for earnest local reporters and talk show bookers whose job is to deliver interviews with newsmakers? The former McCain running mate is not speaking with reporters these days — even reasonable ones.
But she did speak with the governor of Nevada tonight, the Reasonable Reporter learned while skulking around the Reno Costco parking lot with a camera in the blistering cold. Gibbons entered the store through a rear door just before 4:00 p.m. The former Alaska governor arrived with her husband, their baby, and her parents. Gibbons spokesman Dan Burns confirmed that Palin spoke with the governor for about 20 minutes. Burns does not know what Gibbons discussed with Palin. No other elected officials, candidates, or potential candidates were present, Burns said.
So what does it mean? Burns told the Reasonable Reporter that Governor Gibbons showed up at Costco to welcome Palin to Nevada, although he had no official role in the Costco appearance and did not appear with Palin during her book signing.

Well, that’s true, but she is nonetheless the former governor of Alaska. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was born in Austria, and President Obama was born in Hawaii, but he’s still a former Illinois state senator. We all have to end up somewhere.

“skulking”, good word!
So if someone only spends his childhood or is born in a state that means that person can’t say he is from the state where he spent most of his life?
By that definition McCain would have to say he is from Panama. McCain says he is from Arizona which I think is valid.

Obama was born in Hawaii? When did that sudden revelation happen? He spent his entire campaign talking about being born and growing up in Indonesia. Doesn’t he even know where he was born? Was that like a big family secret or something?
