Sarah Palin will be in a Louisiana airport hangar today and she wants EVERYBODY to know it!

Now you may have heard that there was this Unity Rally earlier this week that supported Bill Cassidy in his run off against Mary Landrieu.

Now that Rally featured a couple of political heavyweights like Senator David Vitter, Governor Bobby Jindal, and possible presidential candidate Senator Ran Paul.

However that rally got very little press coverage, and do you know why?

Because it did not have a Sarah Palin in attendance, that's why!

However as we speak she is glad handing with Louisiana voters, pressing the flesh with her cold unyielding flesh, and regurgitating word salad talking points faster than a Presto Salad Shooter.

And we know this because EVERY media outlet is telling us that it is happening.

Politico:

The 2008 vice presidential nominee plans to appear alongside Cassidy, “Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson and defeated conservative Senate candidate Rob Maness at a GOP unity rally on Saturday afternoon in Monroe, according to a source familiar with the event. The Palin visit follows a Monday event with Maness, Cassidy and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) in Baton Rouge. 

Palin supported Maness in the primary and predicted that the underdog candidate could shock the country and advance to the runoff. Ultimately, Maness garnered 14 percent of the vote as Cassidy and Landrieu advanced, a greater amount of support than Cassidy predicted during an interview in October. Cassidy will need some of Maness’s voters to turn out on Dec. 6 after finishing with 41 percent of the vote last week to Landrieu’s 42 percent.


CNN: 

Palin and Robertson will attend a GOP unity rally for Cassidy on Saturday afternoon in Monroe, Cassidy's spokesman confirmed. The story was first reported by Politico.

The New Star:  

Former Alaska governor and Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin will be in Monroe Saturday to campaign alongside U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge.

KTBS:  

Sarah Palin travels to Louisiana this weekend to rally with Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bill Cassidy, as tea party backers line up for the GOP congressman in hopes of defeating Democratic incumbent Mary Landrieu. 

There are a few others as well, but you get the point. 

In case you are wondering that is significantly more coverage than that original rally on Monday attracted. Which of course is why one invites a Sarah Palin to appear at an event designed to attract media attention and potential voters.

But the question to ask is why is this event getting so much attention, while the first one received very little? And the reason is not simply because it features a washed up politician and former reality show flop, along with a former roadie for the band ZZ Top. It is because Palin understands how to do self promotion.

Palin has been drawing attention to herself ever since her days as Miss Wasilla. ("Look I'm in a bathing suit. Ooh, watch me stroke my flute.")

Remember this was the woman who wore a pushup bra in order to get her way in Wasilla city council meetings.

So yes Palin understands how to attract attention to an event, and clearly her team went all in with getting the word out to the various national news agencies and local news outlets. (Can't have that first event, that she was not invited, to getting more attention now can we?)

Now will that attention result in votes for Bill Cassidy, or simply a handful of gawkers hoping to get a gander at the crazy lady who says stupid things on TV?

Well I think we all know the answer to that.
