Sarah Palin is signing books today at a Walmart near Wausau, Wisconsin. There’s a big religious-music-in-schools controversy there, so it makes sense that the former Alaska governor would stop by to promote her book about “protecting the heart of Christmas.”

It’s no surprise, too, that Palin – with the help of Walmart – would keep reporters at a distance.

Wausau Daily Herald reporter Theresa Clift, who is covering the Palin event, tweeted at 10 a.m. CT this morning: “About 8 media members and myself now locked in back room. We aren’t allowed to talk to guests here to see Palin.”

An hour later she posted: “All media will be escorted off the property after we get five minutes seeing Palin, we are told.”
