No stops are planned in Seattle, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and other major cities and book-buying communities that are standard for authors on the road, but where the voters tend to be Democrats.
Beyond a Nov. 16 television interview with Oprah Winfrey, nothing is scheduled for Chicago. New York will feature media appearances only. Instead, the itinerary for Palin, whose "Going Rogue" comes out Nov. 17, includes Noblesville, Ind.; Washington, Pa.; and Rochester, N.Y.
"She wants to be unconventional. She is unconventional," HarperCollins spokeswoman Tina Andreadis said Wednesday. "She feels like this is where her fans are and Harper feels this is where she'll sell the most books."
List so far (more cities expected):
Grand Rapids, MI Nov 18th Barnes & Noble
Mall of America, MN Dec 7th
Washington Co, PA Nov 21 Sams Club, Trinity Point Drive (WA)
Noblesville, IND
Fort Wayne, IND 7PM

I'm Pro Palin but it looks like the Red State Tour has more Blue State stops. Perhaps a name change would be in order.

I'm looking forward to the Oprah Winfrey interview.
We could call it Danielle in the lioness den.
(or should that be grizzly bear in the lion's den?)
