Well, the Sarah Palin book tour is coming to some military bases.  It is not surprising since McCain/Palin ticket had large support from the military As such, fans are eagerly planninng to line up at Fort Bragg to get their copies of “Going Rogue” signed by the vice presidential candidate herself. The Army had announced that the media, however, could not cover the event.  We are now hearing they are planning to media in. Read the latest here.

According to this Associated Press report, the Army was going to keep the media out because it feared that the signing will turn into a political event, specifically an occasion for anti-Obama grandstanding.

My dear colleague, Erika Bolstad, pointed out to me that Palin is headed to Fort Hood on Dec. 4.  Here is what she wrote about it on her Facebook page about it: “I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in every stop on the tour, but I'm especially looking forward to meeting our brave men and women in uniform at Fort Hood. I'm joining the efforts of many others by donating my royalties from the book sales during our stop at Fort Hood to the families of the victims whose lives have been forever changed by the tragic events of November 5th. I am humbled to be able to join the larger effort called "Community Response to 11/5," which was established by the Central Texas-Fort Hood Chapter of the Association of the US Army (AUSA). You can read more about their great efforts here: http://www.forthoodausa.org/.”

I wonder how Fort Hood will handle her visit.
