Caribou Barbie coming to the middle of nowhere to campaign for MO GOP Senate candidate

This is too funny. Here's a Google map of the location where the event is taking place.

https://maps.google.com/maps?q=22509+South+State+Line+Road,+Cleveland,+MO&hl=en&ll=38.717745,-94.602714&spn=0.007115,0.016512&sll=38.719298,-94.604338&sspn=0.007115,0.016512&oq=22509+state+line+road+cleveland,+mo&t=h&hnear=22509+S+State+Line+Rd,+Cleveland,+Missouri+64734&z=17

As you can see, it's not a highly populated area. All of 600 people in this community.

Washington (CNN) – There will be food, drinks and live music Friday in Missouri – and Sarah Palin will be the co-host.

The former GOP vice presidential candidate will serve up barbecue and political red meat at a picnic to support Missouri Republican Senate candidate Sarah Steelman.

– Follow the Ticker on Twitter: @PoliticalTicker

The "BBQ and Picnic with Governor Sarah Palin" will take place in Cleveland, Missouri, less than an hour outside of Kansas City.

It will be Palin's first campaign appearance with Steelman since the former Alaska governor endorsed her some two weeks ago. Since endorsing Steelman, Palin has appeared in a campaign commercial.

Not surprising. Likely an attempt to create an image of relevancy. 'He got elected b/c of ME!' salin Aug 2012 #3

I am guessing we will see trips like this - for years to come from Sarah - "Look at Me!" - Palin.
