More on this Story

An estimated 1,500 people lined up at a PX store at Fort Bragg this morning to see former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and have her sign copies of her new memoir.

Palin greeted people at a table just inside the door of the North Post Exchange, a Wal-Mart-size department store on the base. The line waiting to see her spilled out the front door and wrapped around the building.

Many people went into the PX to buy Palin’s book, “Going Rogue: An American Life,” then emerged to take their places in line. People took shelter from the rain under umbrellas and shielded their books in plastic bags.

Palin’s tour bus, with large photos of her plastered on the sides, pulled up to the store around 11:15 a.m., and she walked in, sat down and started signing books, without any opening remarks.
