Palin Readies Summer Bus Tour

Speculation is rampant that Sarah Palin will announce shortly that she'll kick some life into the Republican nomination gong show.

We hate to get all Sarah Palin-y, but between news today that she's got a bus tour lined up for this summer that will swing through New Hampshire (Primary State No. 1) and the pending release of her self-mythologizing documentary, The Undefeated, next month in Iowa (Primary State No. 1A), all signs point to her making her intent to run for president official in the coming days. The tour kicks off this Sunday in Washington, D.C., before making its way up to the northeast, making stops at historical sites all over the U.S. under a slogan from the Pledge of Allegiance, albeit modified with some dramatically placed periods: "One Nation. Under God. Indivisible. With Liberty & Justice For All." One suspects she didn't follow up on what happened to Michael Ignatieff north of the border after his summer-long bus tour last year.
