Anchorage (Alaska): A true fan of former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is paying $63,500 to have dinner with her.
Cathy Maples of Huntsville, Alabama, on Thursday won the dinner in an Internet auction, which was a benefit for a charity that aids wounded veterans.
Maples says she fully supports the military and the men and women fighting for this nation. Maples, who owns a defence contracting company, also says she's a "big advocate" for Palin, and would love to see her as president.
Palin offered the dinner as part of the charity auction on eBay for the Ride 2 Recovery program, which supports wounded veterans through cycling programs.
Organisers say the winner will have to foot the travel bill to meet up with Palin, likely in Alaska. Maples says that's no problem.
