Source: Palin To Attend U.N. General Assembly

Governor Palin may attend next week’s U.N. General Assembly, where she would be able to meet with many of the foreign heads of state gathering in New York on Tuesday, according to a source close to the McCain presidential campaign. The Wall Street Journal’s Web site quoted a campaign strategist as saying that next week’s gathering would give Mrs. Palin “some exposure and experience with foreign leaders,” adding: “It’s a great idea.” Several foreign diplomats, including representatives of Israel and France, told The New York Sun that as of yesterday they had not been contacted by Senator McCain’s campaign to arrange such meetings. Mrs. Palin is already scheduled to attend a Jewish-sponsored rally across from the United Nations building on Monday to protest against President Ahmadinejad. Senator Clinton is expected to be the top Democrat at the rally.
