Well, it seems the event is not quite the hot ticket its proponents envisioned.
Tickets are still available to hear a potential American presidential candidate in Hamilton.
Despite one organizer's prediction in December that the April 15 visit of Sarah Palin to Hamilton would be sold out within two weeks, good seats remain available.
Organizers have just launched a marketing campaign to sell tickets and attract more sponsors to the fundraiser at Carmen's Banquet Centre for the Charity of Hope, which helps underprivileged children.
They refuse to say how many tickets they have sold, but Carmen's is making room for 1,000 people to hear the former Alaskan governor and vice-presidential running mate of Republican candidate John McCain.

Tickets are $200 a person, but $1,000 will get you an opportunity to meet her, have your photograph taken with her and an autographed copy of her bestselling book Going Rogue.
Her plunge in USian polls may be catching on up here.
AFTERTHOUGHT: Wonder if dodo went for the $200 breathless-to-be-in-the-same-room ticket or the moist-panties-for-months-to-come (snerk) dealie?

Fern, now, what were you thinking? You know very well Dodo would have emptied the piggy bank and cashed those RRSPs in order to spring for the 1000$, naturally and so would Suzy ALLCAPSLOCK for that matter; she's gushed about See Sawah run over at Big Blue Fetus.

"Hyper-partisan, painfully ignorant, pathologically dishonest, chronically unethical, intellectually unconscious, and jaw-droppingly stupid. And those are her better qualities."
Thanks to Angry Mouse for summing up my own disjointed thoughts.
