Best-selling ghost-written celebrity author Sarah Palin is making a stop in that hot bed of alien activity, Roswell, New Mexico on December 1. So far none of the Republican candidates for governor have made plans to drop by and welcome her, but maybe the famous kingmaking Alien will!

During the 2008 presidential election, the Alien, in a stunning reversal, shifted his endorsement  at the last moment from Obama to McCain. In past elections, the Alien’s endorsement was a valid indicator of who would win–in 2008, not so much. However, as the Weekly World News reports, the Alien still continues to be a player in the political realm, so it’s likely he might want to anoint Sarah Palin, though he may just invite Todd to share a hot tub like he did with GOP spouses Laura Bush and Cindy McCain. Gods know Palin needs the help, since her Fox loyalists seem to be turning their back on her–except Bil O’Reilly who asked last night why the left are afraid of Palin and railed against those who dared to compare her to Eva Peron.

The Santa Fe New Mexican reports:

A spokesman for GOP gubernatorial candidate Doug Turner — a self-described moderate Republican — when asked Tuesday about whether Turner would attend the Roswell book signing said, “We’ve not been invited to participate in the Sarah Palin book tour, so Doug won’t be on hand. I haven’t looked at his schedule for early December, but he will probably be out shaking hands across the state on a tour of his own.” Asked if he’d be seeking Palin’s support in the primary, spokesman Zack Ireland said, “Probably not — with no disrespect to Sarah or her fans.”

A campaign spokesman for Susana Martinez also said his candidate won’t be in Roswell on Dec. 1. “Susana is going to be working in Cruces that entire week.” As far as seeking Palin’s support in the governor’s race, Jamie Estrada said Tuesday, “Susana is focused on earning the support of New Mexicans as demonstrated by the endorsements she has recently received from people like (Bernalillo Country Sheriff) Darren White and other elected officials.”

A spokesman for the Janice Arnold-Jones campaign said Tuesday that Arnold-Jones was campaigning in Grant County, and he hadn’t been able to reach her.

A spokesman for candidate Allen Weh did not respond by press time to a request for comment.

You know, maybe Trig is actually the Alien’s baby…
