Sarah Palin Brings Down the House at Vanderburgh County Right to Life banquet

Officials at the Vanderburgh County Right to Life banquet in Indiana didn't think there was much chance Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin would accept their invitation to the group's biggest fundraiser, but she did.

Tickets to the Evansville, Indiana, event sold out immediately -- even before it was open to the public.

It was little more than a cameo appearance, but the anti-abortion movement is a core constituency in the Republican Party, and the speech was Palin's first this year in the lower 48.
