Handlers for the former Republican vice presidential candidate confirmed Thursday that Palin agreed to be one of several speakers at the noontime rally at the state Capitol, said Matt Seaholm, Wisconsin state director for Americans for Prosperity.
Seaholm said he expects Palin, the former Alaska governor, to speak for 10 to 15 minutes.

"Obviously, she's a big name and certainly will increase the turnout," Seaholm said.

1. They're probably going to include everyone at the Farmer's Market in their crowd estimate

They did the same thing after a tiny pro-Iraq war rally back in the day. However, we didn't call them teabaggers back then -- we just called them idiots.

2. Publicity-whore-carpetbagger

The union rallies are genuine local grassroots efforts.

The one teabagger rally had people with "suspiciously Southern accents", said one labor activist on the Bill Press Show.

5. There'll be 40 teabaggers instead of 20.

6. Of COURSE there will be increased turnout

everyone I know is going, to show the teabaggers how much nicer, smarter and funnier we are than they are.

I think usually Madison Police are pretty good with their estimates. They have people stationed on tops of buildings, watching for "incidents," and have a good view.

Last time, they fenced in the teabaggers, so we could look at them in their zoo cage. I'm assuming they'll do the same thing this weekend, particularly with Ursus arctos expected.

7. Increased turnout by anti Palin folks maybe but not teabaggers:

9. Teabaggers showing up to see her will cause $10 billion damage to state capitol.
