Hundreds line up for Palin's Reno book tour stop
Hundreds of people lined up Wednesday for Sarah Palin’s stop in Nevada on her book tour, including a dozen who braved subzero temperatures overnight to get their copy signed by the Republican they’d like to see president someday.

“We wanted to be sure to get a ticket and get her signature and meet her,” said Susan Lopez of Fernley, which is about 30 miles east of Reno. “I like her because she has common sense. I think she’d be good for the country.”


Michael Gabor, a former Michigan resident, drove more than two hours over the snowy Sierra from Sacramento to be among the first in line at 10 p.m. Tuesday outside the Costco, where the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate was to sign copies Wednesday night of her book, “Going Rogue.”


“She has a lot of drive and dedication,” said Gabor, who added that he liked the way Palin “fights for our freedom — freedom from terrorism and big government.”

7. Michael deserves special recognition.


So he drove two hours so he could stand in line all night in sub-zero temps to see The Quitter?



Here's your special recognition Michael ...

8. I Like Her Because She Has Common Sense
She has enough common sense not to camp out in sub-zero temperatures all night just to see the Paris Hilton of Politics.

And yeah, "drive and dedication" are EXACTLY the words I'd use to describe someone who quits every job she's ever had.

I mean, you have to be a special kind of stupid to be a Palin supporter. Average Republican stupid isn't even enough. That's why I love those videos of the Palin supporters standing in line. Ask them for a REAL answer (as opposed to their usual platitudes of, "she's a real person," and other verbal excrement) and you get blank stares.
