Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin gave a 40-minute speech to a crowd of about 2000, gathered in an outdoor field this afternoon near Indianola, Iowa. She blasted the country’s “permanent political class” and “crony capitalism” and warned folks to question presidential candidates of her own political party. But while Palin spent some time outlining her own economic plan — and the crowd chanted “Run, Sarah, Run” at one point during her address — Palin did not use the occasion to announce a 2012 candidacy of her own.

I must admit, as a Ron Paul supporter, it seems to me that Sarah Palin gets it! She is perhaps the one prominent Republican who has not insulted or otherwise distanced herself from Congressman Paul, and for good reason- she, too is talking like him. Screw the Republican Party- we need limited government, conservative solutions!
