They call it "PowerUp Live
They call it "PowerUp Live Boise", then stage the event in Nampa??? Not the brightest idea, but then again we are talking about an event with Palin.
For $10 bucks,

But you get an order of thighs and...

What's the point?
What's the point of ths bunch coming to Idaho? Everyone knows this is a Red State and Republicans will win here anyway! I guess it's all about the money and a chance for Sarah to be in the limelight. She's probably bored since her latest reality show bombed!
Money not politics
The point is simple, it's to make money for these speakers. It's not cheap to maintain a life of luxury.
I would sooner do something
I would sooner do something not as annoying, like chewing on tin foil and shaving my head with a cheese grater.
But what *is* it?
What are they doing all day? Who gets the money?
thanks for covering it, though; I saw the billboard the other day and wondered.
More details in link in first paragraph
I had trouble accessing the PowerUp Live website earlier this morning, but it seems to be working now. I added a link at the top. Has details on what the three headliners will talk about and such.

It is nothing more than a money generating attempt to fill their respective bank accounts.
I would much rather listen
to a dentist's drill than hear Sarah Palin's voice (or her opinions)!
Pray for that once in a lifetime ABBA reunion and it could work.

Kristen Armstrong?
I was proud of Kristen for making her political statement by joining this right wing group. She is a true Amrerican hero!!!
On the other hand, she is hurting her "brand" with half the country.
With this mistep, she may join Lance Armstrong in a weakened basket of brands.

Power up Live
Actually, I am going, and I expect that it will be quite good. The subject is business and leadership. Those are subjects that you leftists and haters (but I repeat myself) don't know about. So please stay away. Sheesh. Mrs. Palin ran for office FOUR YEARS AGO! Yet your hatred has no time limit, does it? The attitude of you Palin-haters is to the point of obsession.
Oh shut up...I'll send you to the vice-principal's office.
