In Hong Kong, Palin won't be dealing with the media.

by Upinak

Per News 24:

The former Alaska governor will address hundreds of chief executives, fund managers and other financial big-hitters from around the world at the Hong Kong forum.

The event in general is open to the media. But a spokesperson for CLSA, one of Asia's top investment houses, said that Palin's session with the moneyed audience will take place in private.

"Some of our keynote sessions in previous years were also closed to the media. So this is not the first time," she told AFP, declining to be named.

"Ms. Palin has not yet confirmed with us the topic of her speech," the spokesperson added.

Awesome! So from now until after the 24th of Sept., the media following around Sarah like a dog, and will be fabricating details of what she might be saying to these executives. Either way, I think it is funny. Gov. Palin is doing exactly what the media had done to her but Gov. Palin has the upper hand, as she always does when it comes to surprises.

I have a feeling she will be very well received at the Investors Forum, unlike what the media will be portraying. What I wonder is what media outlet is going to try to sneak into the convention. Any wagers?

Sarah Palin: Unsaid queen of the 9/12 March

In his description of the 9/12 March, Alex Knepper made this statement:

Sarah Palin was without a doubt the unsaid queen of the 9/12 March. Of the many
people I interviewed, about a dozen expressed solid support for a Palin candidacy, with all of the others at least open to supporting her....

“All eyes are on Sarah Palin,” a man said. “Without her, McCain would have lost in a landslide.”

“Palin is from outside the Beltway. They hate her down here in D.C., and that’s why we need her,” one woman said to me.

“Quitting as governor was so smart,” another man said. “She got her leg out of a political beartrap. They were trying to sink her up in Alaska.”

Palin for President pins, shirts, and even signs were constant. Truly, she is their woman. And it’s hard to see that changing. Among those with whom I spoke who were committed to a candidate, she was the only name.who came up. Her anti-Washington credibility overwhelmed them.

“She has ethics and moral values, she’s pro-life, she knows what she stands for and she speaks with integrity.” She’s one of them.

This slideshow, created by Cecilia Trent (Palin Lover on Slideshow.com), illustrates these sentiments beautifully:
