Am I the only one who would enjoy this opportunity?
Dinner with Palin part of charity auction
(AP) –
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Want to have dinner with former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin? Plan on writing a big check.
The ex-Republican vice presidential candidate is offering the dinner as part of a charity auction on eBay for the Ride 2 Recovery program, which supports wounded veterans through cycling programs.
The 10-day auction starts at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday. The opening bid for dinner for five with Palin is $25,000, and organizers say the winner will have to foot the travel bill to meet up with her, likely in Alaska.

I'd be afraid she would quit the dinner right in the middle for a better opportunity.
I'll pass.

Turn the TV off sometime Paully. Sometimes quitting helps the people.
Obama is a prime example.

Exactly glad we agree.
We need to know how to peel the political spin away and call a positive act a positive and true negative.. a negative.

That is certianly not a positive. But I guess, since I have told the schools that if it is airing in a classroom my child[ren] are in, they are to be pulled out of that classroom is a negative.

Well, at least an Alabamian won.
An Alabama woman won dinner with Sarah Palin in an eBay auction Friday night for $63,500.
Cathy Maples of Huntsville can invite four guests to break bread with the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate, and her hubby, Todd.
Proceeds will go to Ride 2 Recovery, which supports wounded veterans through cycling programs. Palin's oldest son, Track, was deployed to Iraq in September 2008.
"She is, quite simply, one of the most talked-about people in the U.S.," the auction blurb brags.
"Value: Priceless."
Maples, who owns a defense contracting company, says she fully supports the military.
She also says she's a "big advocate" for Palin and would love to see her as President.

Awesome thanks for the followup. Knowing this money will be actually put to GOOD use is refreshing.

$63,500 is a bit much to have dinner with someone who helped polarize the Republican Party and set it back many years.
But like you said MU, at least the money goes to a very good cause.

$63,500 is a bit much even to have dinner with someone who helped mobilize the Republican Party and brought a true pro-life, conservative viewpoint to the forefront.

Mobilize the Republican Party, huh? The GOP is a laughingstock right now and the one you say helped "mobilize" it quit on her duties.
