Sarah Palin Virginia, Oct 12 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Sarah Palin, the vice-presidential candidate who was known more for her wardrobe than for her electoral speeches is soon going to script another breaking news with her Best-seller book ‘Going Rogue’ which is going to be released this year.

However, according to reports, with hardly a month to go before the polls, it appears crystal clear that the former Alaska governor, vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin will not appear on behalf of either New Jersey’s Chris Christie or Virginia’s Bob McDonnell in their electoral campaigns.

“The governor offered her assistance with both races,” said Palin adviser Meg Stapleton. “The ball is in their court.

“With 26 days left until the election, we do not anticipate Gov. Palin campaigning in Virginia at this point,” said McDonnell spokesman Tucker Martin. “She has donated to our campaign, and we appreciate her support of Bob McDonnell, and her historic run as the Republican nominee for vice president.”

Palin’s political action committee gave McDonnell $2,500 this summer. “No,” is all Christie spokeswomen Maria Comella would say when asked if they had invited Palin.

“A prominent rally with Palin could easily send the independents to the Democratic candidates, and at the same time, she could motivate the Democratic Party base to turn out at a higher rate,” explained University of Virginia professor Larry Sabato.

“Why would they want to embrace a national message that goes backward as opposed to forward?” asked veteran GOP strategist Chris LaCivita, referring to last year’s presidential campaign. “She could be more of a liability than a positive. That’s not a criticism about her persona, but just the dynamics of these races.”
