Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will speak at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference in April.



WASHINGTON (CNN) – Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will not be speaking at this year's Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, but she has accepted an invitation to speak at a higher profile event that could have implications for the 2012 presidential race.

Palin will speak at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans, a major gathering of Republican officials, donors and activists from 14 southern states, organizers announced Thursday.
"I'm looking forward to addressing conservative activists from across the south at the 2010 Southern Republican Leadership Conference," Palin said in a statement. "This is a great opportunity to listen and speak to those who are helping to set the direction of our party."
A Palin confidante said the governor is not being paid to speak at the event.

I think we've heard everything Sarah Palin has to say. She should give up politics and become an ice-road trucker.

Yeah, about all Palin has to offer is slams against democrats or more lies about her life as governor...the quitter.
