\"\"<\/a>It’s interesting to me that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has decided to skip a visit to the Panhandle on her “Going Rogue” book tour.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

If anyplace in America can claim to be Palin Country, it comprises the 26 counties of the Panhandle. But Sarah Barracuda isn’t coming here.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Man, she’d get a great welcome here.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
She’s been signing thousands of copies of her “Going Rogue” memoir on her travels through the country. It was reported that Palin was skipping the major media market cities and concentrating on middle America communities. She’ll be in the Dallas suburb of Plano later this week, where she’s expected to get a hero’s welcome.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Do I need to remind the former governor that the 2008 Republican presidential ticket, led by Sen. John McCain, polled about 80 percent in the Panhandle in last year’s election? Of course not. The one-time GOP vice presidential candidate knows it, or at least she should know it.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
And if she is willing, I’d be glad to visit with her, to interview her on the record about her world view. Her critics contend that “Going Rogue” is long on payback, but short on substance. I’d like to find out for myself just how she believes the nation can fix what ails it.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
We’re out here, governor, right smack in the Middle America you say you love so much. Come see us. I’ll bet you’ll sell a lot more books.<\/div>\n
