The *Daily Post* which covers San Francisco and the peninsula reported that inside the Burlingame Hyatt Regency Palin, "began her remarks by saying she was in Marin County." Burlingame is a suburb in the county of San Mateo which is SOUTH of San Francisco and has some of the richest and poorest cities in the Bay area. Marin, on the other hand is one of the across the board richest counties in California and is north of San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge.

San Franciscans are now inspired more than ever to have a Look-Alike Contest, likely to turn into a Palin Roast, details of which are here:
Contestants needed for The Sarah Palin Look-alike Contest on Wed, October 22nd @ 8pm at San Francisco's Brava Theater (24th St @ York, in the Mission).
The contest is part of The 5th (& Final) George Bush Going Away Party: An
Evening of Political Comedy that will be held in SF, Berkeley, San Rafael, and Santa Cruz, Oct 22-25. The contest will take place only at the SF show.

foreign policy. Actually, you will be asked to do an (up to 30-second) SP
impersonation.
