Palin will reportedly visit MN

The Pi Press is reporting that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will sign books at the Mall of America's Barnes and Noble store in Bloomington on December 7th. An official with the store could not confirm the details to MPR. She said she was instructed by her corporate office to tell reporters that there will be more information available on November 16th.

Palin, who was John McCain's running mate in 2009, is set to release her biography Going Rogue on Nov. 17th. The Pi Press said details of the visit are still being worked out.

The news of the event comes on the same day that Gov. Pawlenty is scheduled to hold the first major fundraiser for his PAC in Minnesota. Both Palin and Pawlenty are considered GOP contenders for the White House in 2012.
