History being made? First use of presidential campaign logo by Palin?

 

 

The above is the flyer for the stops on Sarah Palin’s book tour to promote “Going Rogue”.  

Two things are interesting to us that further confirm our belief that Palin indeed is running for president in 2012:

(1) The final stop on the tour is Sandpoint, Idaho, where Palin was born.  Almost every stop on the tour has some kind of meaning to Palin (including places the McCain campaign would not allow her and Todd to go during the 2008 race, as well as Phoenix, Arizona, which is McCain’s hometown and the place she was not allowed to deliver a concession speech on Election Night).  Stopping off in the place you were born sure feels like a presidential campaign sort of move. It’s also interesting Palin’s hitting Salt Lake City (Mitt Romney’s town), Minneapolis (Tim Pawlenty’s town), several stops in Florida (Charlie Crist’s turf), and Fayetteville, Arkansas (where Wal-Mart is based, but also a town in Mike Huckabee’s old turf).  Seems like she’s intentionally making a big splash in the states most associated with all the boring, stale, tired men the MSM is working night and day to make into the next GOP nominee. Very interesting.  

(2) Notice the moose logo?  To our knowledge — and please correct us if we are wrong — this is the first time we have seen anything come from the Palin camp with a moose on it.  Supporters of Palin’s have been creating moose logos for her, usually in red/white/blue since the 2008 campaign.  But, Palin has never had any merchandise of her own with moose on it…and we’ve never seen her put a moose on anything she’s had up on facebook or on SarahPAC. 

We love this for her logo for several reasons:

(a) Instant tie-in to Alaska, the outdoors, the frontier, nature, etc. 

(b) Reminds us of Teddy Roosevelt

(c) Has a wealth of potential in terms of merchandise, including plush animals for the kids, that could exceed all that “O” merchandise that became ubiquitous during the 2008 campaign   

“The Moose is Loose” could be another campaign catchphrase like “Drill, Baby, Drill”.  

Can’t wait.
