In the wake of reports that Palin wanted money to speak to a conservative group in Iowa, here is what one New Hampshire organization interested in booking the former Alaska governor was told by the agency that sets up her speeches would be required to get her to appear in the spring of 2010.

--$100,000, plus first class travel for 2; coach for one and lodging expense.

--No media allowed to cover the speech.

--No taping for archival purposes unless Palin herself personally approved it.

The group was also told that Palin at that point had no events scheduled anywhere in the northeastern United States all spring.  The closest engagements under consideration were in Ohio in the early spring.
