The delay did nothing to dampen anticipation for Palin's arrival, whose visit to Sioux City is more than just the next stop in her national book tour but is being closely watched for any indications about a future presidential bid. Iowa's first-in-the-nation caucuses traditionally launch the presidential nominating season.
Huge crowds waited at Barnes & Noble book store, even lining up in the parking lot overnight, huddled in blankets to protect themselves from temperatures in the teens.
Supporters arrived from such distance places as Texas, Ohio, North Dakota and
Nebraska.
Wow the great distances they traveled from Nebraska to Sioux City.
