Sarah Palin Rallies Tea Partiers

She is popping up everywhere... just look at the last 48 hours.

This morning in Houston, fans paid $50 a head to "get motivated" with Sarah Palin and learn how to balance priorities, maintain grace under fire and become a person of influence.

Say what you will, but she is certainly that. And she is making good money at it. Reportedly $100,000 a pop for paid speeches.

By Monday afternoon, Palin was at a construction and equipment expo for loggers in Redding, Calif.

Rallying the Tea Party

But it's Saturday night's sharp critique of Barack Obama at the first National Tea Party Convention in Nashville, Tenn., that's drawn the most attention.

"Now, a year later, I've got to ask supporters of all that," she told tea partiers. "How's that hopey, changey stuff working out for you?"

Palin says the Tea Party movement is "merging" with the Republican party.
