NOBLESVILLE, Ind., Nov. 20 (UPI) -- More than 1,000 people braved rain in Indiana's die-hard Republican Hamilton County to catch up with former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin at a book-signing event.
Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee and darling of the party's conservative core constituency, spent three hours Thursday at a Noblesville, Ind., bookstore signing copies of her memoir, "Going Rogue," and chatting with admirers, Politico reported Friday.
"It's good to be back in Hoosier territory," Palin said before entering the Borders bookstore in one of the most Republican counties in the United States. "I'm glad you all will get an opportunity to read my words, unvarnished and unfiltered."
Tony Downs, a local police officer who went to the book-signing with his wife, said he thought Palin's message connects with people because she is "not a politician."
"She's not from Washington," he said. "She hasn't been corrupted."
Asked if he'd support Palin for president in 2012, Downs told the Washington publication, "I just want a good Republican candidate."
