On his uber-popular Twitter feed this morning, ABC News’ Jake Tapper launched a campaign to entice former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to “broaden her reach” by appearing on This Week. There’s no question that ABC’s Sunday morning talk show would be the perfect forum for Palin to reach beyond her loyal base, but will she do it, and will Fox News let her do it?
I asked Jake why he has chosen Twitter as the vehicle to entice Palin onto his show: (via email)

“We’ve been trying for sometime now to have Gov. Palin as a guest on This Week, so far to no avail. Knowing how connected she is to the internet and how responsive she is to her supporters, I thought appealing to her on twitter might work. We’ll provide a fair forum for her to share her thoughts on politics and policy; I hope she comes on.”
