WASHINGTON (AP) — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will deliver the keynote address at a dinner sponsored by the House and Senate Republican campaign committees.

Palin, the party's 2008 nominee for vice president, will address the annual Senate-House Dinner June 8 at the Washington Convention Center.

Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, called Palin one of the GOP's most popular and recognizable faces and a proven leader who "represents a breath of fresh air from the business-as-usual crowd in Washington."

The GOP is seeking to rebuild after losing ground in the House and Senate and losing the White House in 2008.

Alrighty then. This is very, very good news indeed that someone in the GOP gets that they need a person with the charisma and the record to make a difference.

Governor Palin is a fundraising machine. After John McCain named her as his running mate, the campaign raised over $4 million online in one day. Yes, that is a fact. The previous highest total had never eclipsed $1 million online...ever.

Sarah Palin can also draw a crowd, as evidenced in her rallies where the attendance was usually at least at 20,000. Like at the Richmond, VA rally I attended.

If she can deliver an electrifying and enlightening speech, maybe she can convince some of the naysayers who say she's not "intelligent" enough to lead a party, or a country for that matter.

As for 2012, I say, Run, Sarah, Run!

UPDATE: Maybe she's not speaking after all?
