    Former Alaska Governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin won't say yet if she will attend the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., next month, but she intends to announce her decision soon.

    The Tampa Bay Times reports from Los Angeles:

    "We'll have an announcement in a couple of days," said Palin, as an aide insisted journalists direct questions to Todd Palin. "I don't know if we'll do anything fancy as a press conference, but we'll get the word out."

    As the GOP convention draws closer, rumors persist that Palin is scouting space to rent in Tampa and supporters wonder if she will be given a speaking slot. Palin declined to speculate on any of that Tuesday, preferring to shift conversation to husband Todd's performance on "Stars Earn Stripes," telling another reporter it was "a great opportunity to support a great cause."
