sarah palin wants to deliver that message. she's the darling of the tea party movement, so yesterday she tried to say, let me be clear about this, john mccain is one of us. hear what she said. >> everybody here today supporting john mccain, we're all part of that tea party movement. because i have had the privilege of traveling around the u.s. and meeting with everyday americans who are that great tea party movement. when you think about that first tea party, shoot, some may claim that john was there at that first tea party. >> and, of course, she was talking about 1773, that first tea party event, and so she was making a joke about john mccain's age. he is over 70 years old. but, clearly, contessa, as you know, she was trying to make the argume argument, john mccain is one of us. if you're a tea party supporter, you can like john mccain, because he has spent four decades fighting against reckless spending in washington. >> i guess what we do now is just watch for people who otherwise wouldn't have voted for john mccain do so

sarah palin sturms for john mccain. but can she really help him more in his tough senate campaign than she did in 2008? >>> rescuing homeowners. a new plan from the president aims to save the housing market and why should that spark controversy? >>> the no-cussing kid takes on vice president joe biden. we'll hear why. >>> and paying more at the box office. prices going up. you might be surprised how much it could cost your family just for a night out at the movies. >>> good morning, everyone. i'm contessa brewer. >>> sarah palin will be back in the campaign spotlight as she tries to rally support for senator john mccain in arizona. they're in tucson yesterday. >> we're being accused of being the party of no because we oppose some of the things that the administration's doing. the louisiana governor says, well, no, we're not the party of no, we're the party of hell no. >> well, mccain is facing a tough re-election fight of his senate career. he's leaning on his former running mate to boost his conservative credentials. n

it's not going to be sarah palin from alaska. 's going to be sarah boyd from scottsdale and thousands of conservative voters, arizonans are going to determine who's going to serve in the senate. we welcome governor palin and respect john mccain. there is a record that john mccain has that is going to make it difficult for him to win a fifth term in the united states senate. i believe august 24th, the majority of republican voters will champion a consistent conservative and i look forward to governor palin's support following that primary. >> in a web video, john mccain's team has questioned you about the birthers. said that you have been associated with the birthers. are you and do you have any questions about the legitimacy of barack obama's birth and his nationality? >> no, not at all, andrea. i'm not birther. i am a broadcaster and suggesting that i advocate something that i talked about on the air, conducted interviews on the air about, would be tantamount to claiming that you as an objective journalist are endorsing me. this

the campaign tell me, it much more than they expected thanks to sarah palin. palin mania is rubbing off. i talked to members of the audience who came in undecided and many of them still left undecided when it comes to john mccain. they were chanting "sarah, sarah, sarah" not, "john, john, on." their words, the mack is back. >> super happy with the event. see if they get votes. have a great weekend. more than an interesting week in politics and more than interesting first week for us. senior political analyst gloria borger is here. got to love the theater event. >> you you nostalgic, seeing those two together again. she's sort of, sarah palin said, he was tea part before tea party was cool, or evenee eee invente health care bill goes to the president's desk. it's clear the white house, announced the nuclear arms agreement with russia. but the president wanted to have a big announcement at the white house they revamped the for closure program, he's on the road to do a health care rally, do an economic speech, moving around the country. they're try doing create th

i don't think sarah palin is a hater. mean, i think there is strongly disagree with not the same thing. >> bill: she is passionate about her view of the country. we saw in andrew breitbart out in los angeles who has got the web site put together. a bunch of things of hate bush stuff that was on the left obviously about iraq, things like that signs and kill bush and this and that. we didn't hear a word in the media about that. it was almost ignored. i always said. you know i have said this from the jump that the media is very corrupt. this is another example of the media overlooking the far left. zeroing in on what they see is success on the far right. am i wrong? >> i think -- look, i think you are right about that, bill. i think even some of those hateful sounding signs that were mounted by bush were undoubtedly exaggerations by people who were not intending to kill the president. not very attractive thing and suggests intolerable spirit and suggesting you are taking the policy differences all too personally when you see

john mccain and sarah palin reunited today.n mccain is fending off a very tough challenge from another republican. he's facing his toughest re-election in 24 hour, so he's bringing back sarah palin. she's going to come here to tucson and then tomorrow in phoenix to do two rallies and a fund-raiser. the idea is that sarah palin can vouch for him with conservative voters who may not trust john mccain. sources say the big problems john mccain has are immigration. voters don't like he has suggested there should be a pathway for citizenship. number two, they don't like that he voted for the t.a.r.p. and they don't trust him. he did not vote for the bush tax cuts and so there's been a distrust with john mccain. he hopes that with sarah palin coming and campaigning for him, that is going to shore up his base in the state. he's facing a republican challenge from j.d. hayworth, who has a lot of support from the tea party movement. the tea party has not endorsed in this race. newt gingrich is not going to endorse, club for growth is not

his old running mate sarah palin. our own lee cowan is in tucson for us tonight. lee, good evening. >> reporter: well, good evening, brian. as political reunions go this was awkward, after all the two haven't spoken all that much in the last year and a half or so. sarah palin seemed to be trying to do the best not to upstage her former boss, all the while knowing it was in large part her this crowd came to see. it's been 16 months since they shared a campaign stage. some things never change. >> we're going to take it on on november 10th when we take control of the house and the senate. >> reporter: although the podium and signs were john mccain's, it was sarah palin who stole the spotlight. >> arizona, do you love your freedom? >> reporter: she revelled in the opportunity to blast the administration. >> fidel castro likes obama care, but we don't like obama care. doesn't that kind of tell you something? >> reporter: and she drew cheers for blasting the media. >> this bs coming from the lame street media lately about this, about us inciting violence. don't let a di

but there's a great moment which we recount in the book that sarah palin is on sarah palin is on her way to meet with john mccain on the morning that she's been asked to become his running mate. he's on the phone with the attorney shenton who headed the vice president to selection process for him. called house and conducted a long telephone interview with her the night before to complete the vetting process. and john mccain says, give me the bottom line. and she says john, high-risk, high reward. and john mccain says, you should have told me that. i've been taking risks all my life. and that was it. now, ultimately the campaign of john mccain was sealed by the economic collapse. i think it would've been almost no way for him to have won even if the economy had not done what it had done, but nonetheless once that happened, there was no hope for him to win. >> the one person going into@@@p more than mccain as a prohibitive favorite to win her nomination. she opted to have the best brand in democratic politics that she had a network among both financial and organizational all around the

then you have sarah palin using the language of guns and targets.hink that it is the republican leaders that have to understand the message has to be these threats are illegal and they should be prosecuted. >> it is appropriate for democrats to be using this as a fund-raising tool? >> we all have to be careful not to glorify it, not to overly dramatize it but to take it seriously. i don't think that when you have a situation where people are putting the home addresses of members of congress and encouraging them to go there and send them a message, that's problematic. each member of congress has to make a decision for themselves how to run the campaign for re-election. they have to realize that the overwhelming amount of this debate has been civil and informed. even though it's been tense, it's been patriotic. >> i ask the question because governor tim kaine says that democratic office have been vandalized, republicans are promising to repeal reform and smearing those who support it. please chip in for those who fought to make health care reform poss

sarah palin is campaigning for john mccain. democrats are saying that the hate-filled rhetoric is too real, and the parties are raising money on the threats. >>> also, tonight, there is how many people remember sinaed o'connor tearing up a picture of the pope in the 1990s. and now with the biggest crisis in the vatican, she is speaking out, and also against the current pope who has not given an open and honest accounting of the abuse investigations in pedophile priests. she is our guest. >>> and a former lingerie model accused of turning herself into a queen pin and models into drug a queen pin and models into drug mules. she is on the run from cops. first, keeping them honest. sarah palin and developments in the ugly health care reform. out in arizona she hit the media hard on acts of violence and inflammatory rhetoric against the democrats. >> you know, hearing in the news reports lately the agenda controversy about us common sense conservatives inciting violence because we happen to oppose some of the things in the obama adm

sarah palin trying to give senator john mccain a boost in his tough senate re-election campaign. arizona? did she upstage him on some levels? we're going to talk about that. >>> there's this terrible scam out there involving grandparents. these scammers are actually impersonating the grandchildren, telling them they're in trouble and asking for money. and grandparents are actually doing it because they think it's their grandchildren on the other end of the line. it's awful. >> i watched this story and i found myself getting madder and madder as i watched it. take a look at this, images that are out of this world. they're taken from an ordinary camera set up in a balloon to give us the kind of pictures that nasa spends millions to get. we're going to meet the hobbyist who did it, and it cost him, get this, just 500 bucks and a roll of duct tape. because duct tape can do anything. >> it can and he's out to prove it. >>> but first, suddenly there they were again, senator john mccain and sarah palin, the former presidential candidate was hoping to get a lift as he faces the most diffi

was it john mccain or sarah palin? >> that would be palin, campbell. le were pouring in here with her book, wearing sayer have a shirts. as they were waiting, they were chanting sarah, sarah, sarah, never john, john, john. initially we were told sarah palin was going to be the keynote speaker and john mccain would speak before her, which is enormously unusual at an endorsement event. they changed that at the last minute, but it just shows you a new world order, campbell. >> i'll say. mark, you know, the last time we saw these two together was 2008. it was right after the election. and since then, we have learned all sorts of behind-the-scenes campaign drama, much of it documented in your book. what do we know about the two of them now? do they talk? are they close? what can you tell us? >> they don't talk regularly, but they do talk on occasion. and they have smoothed over some of the rough issues around my book and some of the other issues where there was questions about tension between sarah palin and some of the people who worked for john mccain. thi

they loved sarah palin.at's what john mccain wanted in part, that star power to rub off on him. also he needed sarah palin to vouch for his conservative credentials. that's why she was talking about the tea party. she said john mccain is just like someone that's in the tea party movement because he has been campaigning against reckless spending in washington for four decades, according to her. trying to sort of say, yeah, he's like one of us. he, too, is angry at washington. he, too, is going to change washington, so he's okay, guys. he's okay to vote for. >> you know, melinda, must be embarrassing to have to get an endorsement, if you're john mccain, from anybody out of state, but have to get it from somebody you pitched -- you plucked from obscurity and you probably believe belongs there. as someone who has to vouch for you. >> and somebody who you think ruined your campaign and may be a major reason you're not president of the united states today. >> he didn't carry florida. there were a lot of states tha

sarah palin, john mccain together again. can she help mr. mccain win?times you need tomorrow to finish what you started today. for the aches and sleeplessness in between,

sarah palin calls him the maverick of the senate. recent reports of threats to democrats have been blown out of proportion. >> in the news reports lately, this controversy about us, common-sense conservatives inciting violence because we happen to oppose some of the things in the obama administration. we know violence isn't the answer. when we take up our arms, we're talking about our vote. this bs coming from the lame-stream media about us inciting violence, don't let -- don't let the conversation be diverted. don't let a distraction like that get you off track. >> sarah palin's appearance marks the first time she and mccain were together publicly since losing 29008 presidential election. >>> thousands of u.s. sailors back home for the first time in eight months and they certainly received a warm welcome. the aircraft carrier "nimitz" arched in san diego yesterday along with three supporting ships. the "nimitz" flew more than 2,600 sorties. they also fought pirates near the horn of africa. >>> the couple accused of crashing presiden

and they decided that sarah palin was that choice. now if you take it from the mccain complain's point of view, the reason they did it, support, two, better among women. they had the mistaken assumption that they might be able if they picked to attract women who had supported hillary clinton who were unhappy that she had lost. this was obviously bad thinking. which they learned soon after. but i think the most important reason is that sarah palin to john mccain was somebody who was like him. she was a maverick. she had run against a sitting governor in her own primary. she had defeated that governor, frank mer cow ski, she had defeated the general election. she had run as a reformer. it was mccain's view if he picked sarah palin, the two with of them could say we are real change. we will do tough things in washington and shake up washington in a way that barack obama and joe biden will never do. so that was, i think mccain's thinking. there was no question there was a big risk. i don't think they understand how big of a risk it was or

the only trouble is, sarah palin keeps shooting them down. that crazy bitch. >> larry: good delivery. we had this question tweeted to kingsthings. we get tweeted, we get facebooked. if asked, would you do "dancing with the stars"? >> i have been asked and i thanked them very profusely and i said, no thank you. i think cloris leachman took care of that whole department. >> larry: it's really testing. >> it is. it would be fun and i would love it. but i think there comes a time when i don't want to embarrass the audience. but cloris, cloris did it and she did find so i think she's taken care of our age bracket. >> larry: you had a great marriage with allen, didn't you? >> i did. he was the best. he was the love of my life. >> larry: he left too early. how old was he? >> allen was 64. he said -- that bloomin' baked sea got him. what you saw was what you got. he was one of the nicest, dearest people. >> larry: and a great game show host. >> oh, yes, great game show host. and what i fell in love with, what got us together was his enthusiasm. he wa

it's supposed to evoke the kind of stephanie miller approach to sarah palin. and the third thing burleigh and editors at the nation who were able to put to put together very quickly and produce something which is a serious and exciting read so that when the book went out there was a lot of word of mouth this was a book that was really worth reading. >> with a beginning to company. >> which is have to keep up the next ten years and we can probably afford to pay some stuff in random office. >> tell me about that. what is the staff and office situation like? >> it is absolutely nonexistent at the moment. [laughter] spec working at home in your jammies? >> pants are definitely something i now wherefore going out.

so you are here to see sarah palin. >> you betcha. >> reporter: it's a remarkable reversal of political fortune. since the 2008 election, palin has launched a best-seller, become a media celebrity, and just landed her own reality show with a reported $1 million per episode pay day. she's also becoming the defacto head of the growing tea party movement. >> shoot, some may claim that john was there at that first tea party! >> reporter: but mccain finds himself targeted by very people supporting palin. >> there's a risk for sarah palin. she has worked hard to cultivate the tea party activists as her base of support. yet these tea party activists don't like john mccain. >> reporter: mccain's opponent staged a dueling rally in phoenix today with another reminder of the '08 campaign, a certain plumber named joe. now, it's no surprise that sarah palin was not pleased with the jay john mccain's presidential campaign was run and his former aides have criticized her publicly. but both the senator and the governor have always gone out of their way to be civil to each other in public, perhaps knowi

sarah palin's a alaska will air on tlc, the same channel that made kate gosselin and the dugard familybrities. don't plan for a look at her colorful family. rather, it's a travel show, which palin promises to bring the wonder and majesty of alaska to all americans. the show will be produced by mark burnett who created such hits as celebrity apprentice, now featuring rob blagojevich. >> i used to be the governor of illinois. hi. >> reporter: unlike blagojevich facing federal charges, this former governor will fetch a cool million dollars an episode. now sarah palin is going to headline two rallies and a fund-raiser here for mccain. then tomorrow she's headed to nevada where she is the star attraction at a big tea party rally where ann coulter is also expected to speak. >> should be quite a day today and tomorrow. norah, thanks so much. >> reporter: you're welcome. >>> a kentucky nanny is giving new meaning to the word hero after risking her own life to save the little boy she was caring for from a fire. you don't want to miss this story. >>> forget all of those fancy satellites and rock

mccain believe sarah palin will help him here? >> reporter: well, i think that john mccain believes that sarah palin can vouch for his, quote-unquote, true conservative values as she said in that radio ad. i just spoke with the senior mccain adviser, who tells me that both todd and sarah palin are here with cindy and john mccain and that the bulk of this event is going to center around sarah palin. this adviser telling me sarah palin is going to deliver a very meaty speech that is going to be ten to 12 minutes long, about twice as long as when john mccain's speech today because this event is meant to show case her and spotlight her support for john mccain. why is that so important? because john mccain is facing his toughest re-election of his life. he is facing a challenge from the political right. another republican, j.d. hayworth, who's running against him in the primary. there's a lot of arizona conservatives, tea party supporters, who don't trust john mccain. they're worried because he has advocated for immigration reform and

i understand sarah palin going out there and speaking for john mccain.here's a lot to be said for loyalty. but there's also a point -- and i can tell you within the tea party movement, i've talked to a lot of people who have privately started expressing a lot of concerns about governor palin because she is out there supporting john mccain so much. and that's a real problem. >> i want to draw your attention to what frank rich writes in today's "new york times." he says the health care bill is not the main source of this anger and never has been. it goes on to say, it's merely a handy excuse. the conjunction of a black president and a female speaker of the house topped off by a wise latina on the supreme court and a powerful gay congressional committee chairman with fears of disenfranchisement among the dwindling and threatened minority in the country no matter what policies were in place. what's your reaction? >> i think frank rich is living proof of life after brain death. give me a break. that has got to be one of the stupidest comments i've heard in th

. >> meanwhile some of this may drift back to sarah palin in part because she has been putting a bulls eye on certain members of congress, literally, as she gears up for political rallies this coming weekend. critics say the former alaska governor is doing more than just rallying crowds but may be inciting violence. on twitter palin wrote common sense conservatives and lovers of america don't retreat. instead, reload. and on facebook, this graphic of her call to action depicts states in the cross hairs of a rifle. it shows the democrats who voted for the health bill who are in states carried by john mccain in the 2008 presidential election. nbc news correspondent norah o'donnell is here with more. with all the criticism directed sarah palin's way since she put that map up, i know she doesn't have a press secretary, but any more tweets disavowing this? >> no reaction to what steny hoyer has just said that ten members of congress have now asked for extra security from the capitol police because they're concerned about threats. what sarah palin did yesterday on her facebook page was say s

andou know, sarah palin loves her home state. so i'm sure that she's very knowledgeable and so this will probably be a good fit for her. now talking about her husband todd, the kids, if they appear on the show, i'm thinking it probably will be infrequently because the show, it's not really about sarah palin. it's not really about her family. though, she has been very oen about her home life and her family. it is about alaska. >> okay read a couple of facebooks we're getting in, brooke. pam writes "if it's about alaska it will be great. alaska's a great place to live." tara writes "she should focus on raising her children especially the one with the disability, talkg about the little guy that was just born." do you think that people will watch, brooke? i mean, it is sarah palin. i i'm sure they'll give it one look, right? >> you know, she has a lot of people who love her. and to respect her, she has just as many people, though who do hate her and who disrespect her. but i think she does have an audience. and i think if it's a good

with sarah palin.e presidential canada was stirring up anti-obama sentiment during an appearance in senator harry reid's nevada hometown of searchlight. >> washington has broken faith with the people that they are to be serving. that's why here in search light and across the country we're sending a message to washington. it's loud, and it's clear. and in the upcoming elections we're saying that the big government, big debt, obama/pelo obama/pelosi/reid spending spree is over. you're fired. >> white house aide david axelrod talked with candy crowley about the fallout from the health care reform passing. you can watch that on "state of the union." >>> political parties need a yun vizzed front to pull off the big changed that sarah palin was talking about. the tea party activists aren't walked in locked steps with members of the the gop. some predict the tea party will inevitably help democrats by splintering the vote in november. i asked republican analyst about that. >> is it a natural marriage between
