(Newser) – Sarah Palin has confirmed that she's going to Iowa later this month to headline a major GOP fundraiser. Her aides say it's a mistake to read anything more into it, though the move has set off the expected chatter. Highlights:

After Iowa Stop, Palin Heads Straight to NH

Probably just a coincidence...

(NEWSER) - In her continued bid to do absolutely nothing to quell speculation about a run for the Oval Office, Sarah Palin has decided to take a little getaway following her much ballyhooed Sept. 3 appearance in Iowa: to scenic New Hampshire, reports the Iowa Republican . "High-level Iowa Republicans" tell the site that the former Alaska governor will speak at a Tea Party Express function on Labor Day, and SarahPAC confirms it; she has been widely expected to announce her candidacy in Iowa.

Romney, Paul, Santorum 1-2-3 in Another Iowa Poll

And Santorum is surging

(NEWSER) - Yet another poll puts Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, and Rick Santorum 1-2-3 in Iowa two days before the state's caucuses. The poll, conducted by the Des Moines Register over four days last week, puts Romney at 24%, Paul at 22%, and Santorum at 15%. However, the pollster says, "Momentum’s name is Rick Santorum." Look at the final two days of polling separately and you'll see a surging Santorum in second place, with 21%, while Paul drops to 18% and Romney stays at 24%. More»

Romney: Obama Is Like Marie Antoinette

He's out of touch with regular Americans, Romney argues

(NEWSER) - In Iowa yesterday, Mitt Romney attempted to turn around a common complaint about himself and use it against Barack Obama, accusing the president of being out of touch. Referring to Obama's statement last year that "things would have been a lot worse" without his stimulus plan, Romney told the Huffington Post , "When the president's characterization of our economy was, 'It could be worse,' it reminded me of Marie Antoinette: 'Let them eat cake.' This is not a time to be talking about, 'It could be worse.' It's a time to recognize that things should be better." More»

Iowa Back in Play for Romney

He's been steering clear, but that looks to be changing

(NEWSER) - After getting burned badly by Iowa in 2008, Mitt Romney has generally been keeping his distance from the state this time around. But with no other single candidate gathering the support that Mike Huckabee won in the last election, Romney's strategy might be changing, reports the Wall Street Journal . "I'll be here again and again," he said on a visit there yesterday, only his third of the year. The reason: He's favored to win in New Hampshire, and if he combines that with an earlier win in Iowa on Jan. 3, his campaign may have unstoppable momentum. More»

Ann Coulter: Palin Is 'the Obama of the Tea Party'

And she should 'just run so we can get this over with'

(NEWSER) - Ann Coulter is the latest pundit to jump into the “will she or won’t she?” discussion about Sarah Palin’s potential presidential run, and she has a message for Palin: “Fish or cut bait, because you are ginning up this group of Americans who will not even consider anyone else,” namely the Tea Party, Coulter said last night on the O’Reilly Factor. “We used to all love Sarah Palin—conservatives like me—for her enemies. I’m starting to dislike her because of her fans.” More»
