I have been reading several articles about Sarah Palin's book signing at Legacy Books in Plano, Texas which is a suburb just north of Dallas. This article titled Sarah Palin's 'Going Rogue' Book Tour Rolls into Texas, Delighting Her Conservative Supporters states:
Plano was an obvious stop on Sarah Palin's Going Rogue Book Tour because it is a Republican stronghold. According to USA Today, the majority of voters in this ritzy suburb north of Dallas voted for the conservative pairing of John McCain and Sarah Palin in the 2008 presidential election; the majority of voters in the city of Dallas itself voted for Barack Obama.
I feel the author of the article is being a bit catty in both her title and her mention of Plano being ritzy. I would like to point out though that this is another one of those, Can you see the light? moments. Plano for the most part is a very prosperous city (mostly Republican) and Dallas is filled with poverty and corruption (mostly Democrat). I wonder if there might be a connection there?

I looked up and read several articles about Hillary Clinton's book tour in 2003, Bill Clintn's book tour in 2004, and 0bama's in 2006, in none of them was it pointed out that they were visiting only democrat strongholds.
My guess is is that if Gov. Palin held a book signing event in NY City, San Francisco, Chicago, and any other democrat stronghold, she'd still draw a big crowd.
I'd like to see her extend her tour by about a week, and hit several big cities, starting with DC, NY, Chicago, Seattle, etc., and really show the media how it's done.
