A true fan of former Republican vice
presidential candidate Sarah Palin is paying $63,500 to have dinner
with her.
Cathy Maples of Huntsville, Ala., on Friday won the dinner in an
Internet auction, which was a benefit for a charity that aids
wounded veterans.
Maples says she fully supports the military and the men and
women fighting for this nation. Maples, who owns a defense
contracting company, also says she's a "big advocate" for Palin,
and would love to see her as president.
Palin offered the dinner as part of the charity auction on eBay
for the Ride 2 Recovery program, which supports wounded veterans
through cycling programs.
Organizers say the winner will have to foot the travel bill to
meet up with Palin, likely in Alaska. Maples says that's no
problem.
