With only a month to go before the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., Sarah Palin must be beside herself at all the possibilities.

Sarah P. has not won an invitation to the big show. But that should hardly be a barrier. Mama Grizz has a way of pawing into the limelight. Recall the former Alaska governor’s attention grab in New Hampshire as Mitt Romneydeclared his candidacy, or her soaking up the glow of the Ames straw poll, even though she never entered.

A check of the Tampa-area community calendar for Monday, Aug. 27 -- the convention’s opening day -- shows a welter of opportunities. Florida Blood Services has many blood donation locations, a chance for Gov. Palin to give back. Acropoli restaurant in nearby Dundee will be welcoming.
