former alaska governor and gop running mate is spending her memorial day on a bus tour bound for new englandpresumably, we think, new hampshire. i say presumably because her sarahpac website isn't saying where she'll stop until she's been there. she turned up this morning at the national archives in her words highlighting america's foundation and contemplating a run for president in 2012. yesterday palin hit the streets with rolling thunder, the motorcycle rally honoring america's m.i.a.s and p.o.w.s. but we think she'll be in gettysburg, pennsylvania later today. jim acosta, she's used the word "foundation" a lot this morning. is she laying the foundation for a presidential run? >> reporter: well, you know, we're not hearing a whole lot, to be quite honest, because that is the game they are playing right now inside the palin staff. it is sort of a game of "catch me if you can," "follow the bouncing bus." some are calling this "the palin mystery bus tour." i think some of that is by design. they want to generate some buzz and media attention obviously. and the former alaska governor is doing

the gloomy weather has moved to -- new england. there is a hint of some sleet. high pressure is controlling our whether. sunny skies out there. in the upper mississippi valley, it is not a huge storm, but it is there, and it is moving east, so every day we get something different over the next few days. that is what the forecast is like. let's look at the current situation outside. sunshine, temperatures are nice. a little below average. 61 degrees in annapolis. cambridge is at 59. on the boardwalk is it -- it is 65. westminster is 61 per frederick is up at 63. everybody has sunny skies. it is only 50 in oakland. abolition has everything to do with that. -- elevation has everything to do with that. the pressure change, from the low pressure near the state of maine, and the high pressure in kentucky, and that change is dry air. there is the height. there is the low, over the state of maine. let's call this a clipper, a relatively dry system that comes out of canada. that is scheduled to follow the high pressure once it moves east. that is tomorrow. then we have m

still cloudy up in new england, but off to our south the drier air is coming in.t sets the stage for the week ahead. storms trying to move in from the west. there are a couple of good days of whether trying to come in, but the high out of canada will keep that stuff away. the clause we have now will dissipate tonight. -- the clouds we have now. 72-76 with low humidity. north winds at 7-12 miles an hour. a one to 2 foot shot on the open waters of the day. the futurecast shows a couple of sprinkles during the evening hours. it is inconsequential and it dries up very quickly. then we are dry going into tuesday, but here is that development out to the west. there'll also be something offshore. the forecast is a dry one monday through thursday, with highs in the seven's and lows in the 40's jr. 50. some rain chances and over next weekend at temperatures start to cool down just a little bit. .> happy mother's day to mee >> you are the montfort wbal-tv. i hope you have had a wonderful day. >> not so sweet what happened at camden yards because once again the orioles remai

bush running as an outsider for president, here's a man who went to an elite prep school in new england, harvard and yale -- >> host: son of a president. >> guest: son of a president and yet he run very effectively as an outsider. one of the things i wanted to highlight is how much that means, our understanding of outside and inside, center and margins has changed if we can see somebody like george w. bush as an outsider. >> host: who do you consider to be outsiders today? >> guest: well, i don't actually try to think about it in terms of who i think of as an outsider. i'm really interested in why people see themselves as outsiders and why they position themselves that way in public. so i think it's interesting that obama's one of the recent presidential candidates who really hasn't pushed himself or run or constructed a narrative of himself as that much of an outsider, especially in the his more recent writings and in his performance during the campaign. and i think race has a lot to do with that. i mean, he's trying to down play his difference as an african-american and, thus, as one

there will be some rain up in new england and rain out in the midwest. but in between those two systems we should wind up with some good stuff here over the next couple of days. so just a slight chance for shower today. make it up to 71 and then sunshine all the way through the middle of the week. the high temperatures will be in the low to mid 70s. above average. as we head into the weekend put a chance for a few showers and thunderstorms. but even then only a 30% chance with temperatures in the 70s all the way through saturday. >> the ravens came out of the n.f.l. lockout to support one of their own and race for a good cause. >> it's a special kind of strength in faith so thank you o.j. for that. >> thousands joined ravens head coach for the fifth annual fiesta 5 k raising money for lou garing's disease. they ran to support former ravens line backer oj brig gant. >> it has a special meaning for us and everybody out here has a family member good friend or colleague who has had this disease. >> despite his battle, oj spends many days at ravens' headquart

should be common -- now we should be, and lay out an elementary school, kind of like if you go to a new england school, they say by lot every school has a full-time librarian, and i think it is imperative that we start and demonstrating what ought to be, not just talking about what we cut, and people think that is weird. if we do not lay out a vision of what we ought to be, when we do have discussions about what should happen with proposition 13 and funding in california, what are we going to try to find? -- fund among we met this -- with the northern california students. one of our goals is to start a campaign where we say, and off. -- enough. you're going to work to develop a campaign, and this is what it is going to cost to get there. we are tired of legislators not laying out a vision of what it is going to cost to get it. unless we play of the numbers and start an initiative to make it happen, waiting for our legislators to do it is not working. >> it seems to me in doing this accounting, a big piece of quality middle schools is schools with active parent bodies are fund raising and fillin
