CNN producer note

iReport —

Entrepeneurs are already gearing up for another Palin political race.  And on Sunday, November 22, the crowd at Sarah Palin's book signing to promote her book, "Going Rogue" in Roanoke went a little rogue themselves and donned their favorite Palin promoter garb to wave, shout well wishes and snap photos on cell phones and cameras. As the Palin family, traveling with her on her well outfitted tour bus, preceded her out of the Barne's and Noble store, devoted fans who had chatted with her during her stay in Roanoke waved and shouted to her as if they were old friends.  Here, one ardent fan waves to her Aunt as she boarded the bus, recounting to the crowd his introduction to her by Sarah earlier in the tour. The crowd was a fairly even mix of young, old, men, and women.  Sarah has been portrayed as a Polyanna and clearly has the charisma and personality to quickly endear and relate to fans of every age, and on every level.
