From WANE-TV in Fort Wayne: Sarah Palin fans are already lined up in the aisles of the Maysville Rd. Meijer, waiting for the former vice-presidential candidate to sign their books.
The first one thousand fans with a copy Palin's new book "Going Rogue" and their Meijer receipt will get a wristband to meet Palin. Officials will begin distributing the wristbands 10 a.m. Thursday.
The book signing is scheduled for noon-3 p.m.
By about 7:30 a.m. Thursday, about 700 people were already in line. Some fans traveled from as far away as Michigan, Illinois and Florida. Some were even sleeping in the aisles.
A Marion woman already has a special connection to Palin. She sent the republican a bracelet with a prayer enclosed. They prayer was specifically for Palin's son who is in the military. The jewelry maker says she has seen Palin wear the bracelet on a number of occasions, most recently on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
Another woman, who also has a special needs child, brought a puzzle for Palin's son who has Down's Syndrome.
NBC's Andrea Mitchell is following Sarah Palin around the country on her book tour. Here is her report this morning from Fort Wayne, Indiana.

I can see why the people who live in the economically depressed areas would flock to see Palin--a woman who espouses all the tired and discredited policies daddy Bush once referred to as "Voodoo economics." The rich definitely need more tax cuts. We wouldn't want people like the Walton family, who control $100 billion, to have to pay taxes, now would we? Bernie Madoff? Definitely not! The CEO's of the health insurance companies who are pocketing tens of millions of dollars each year, and have hundreds of millions in stock? Hell no!
Instead, Joe Sixpack should pay the taxes, even when he's unemployed (that was the Reagan Administration's doing, in case you're wondering).
If Sarah wishes to counter Nicolle Wallace's comments re the Katie Couric set up for interviews, she needs only to mention that Nicolle was a political analyst for CBS NEWS prior to 2008.
