Palin, Obama to share stage
Source: Politico

In what could be a preview of the 2012 presidential race, Sarah Palin and President Barack Obama will share a stage together this Saturday night in Washington, Politico has learned.

The Alaska governor and former GOP vice presidential nominee, making her first trip to the nation’s capital since the election, will join the president at the Alfalfa Dinner, a venerable gathering of the city’s political elite.

The president is scheduled to address the black-tie crowd at the Capital Hilton. Palin spokesman Bill McAllister said in an e-mail that Palin would be speaking at the dinner. An Alfalfa Club member, however, said that no speech by the Alaska governor was planned.

The duo would not, though, be heard by the general public. By tradition, the old world gathering, now in its 96th year, bars reporters. Quotes from the rostrum do, however, tend to find their way out to reporters in the lobby.

1. NO! I HATE Politico.
They're like bad soap opera writers.

Obama's peeps need to make sure Palin doesn't get close to him.

4. They are in NO sense "sharing the stage". He's the President, she's a shitty-ass nothing-burger.

11. Will Palin actually speak, or is this more media fabrication to perpetuate Palin's 2012 candidacy?
I kind of hope she speaks and shortly before Obama's address to the group. It would be like listening to an accomplished concert pianist after some kid's first recital playing "Chopsticks."

17. Hopefully, at some point on that stage...
Barack Obama walks over to Ms. Palin and says, "You're under arrest." and orders the guards to take her away.
