Sarah Palin is already making waves on her nationwide Tea Party Express tour--and she's only made one stop.

Speaking in Reno, Nev. on Monday, Palin hinted at a 2012 run when she said, "Mr. Obama, you’re next, because now we can see 2012 from our house.”

The former vice presidential candidate told the Tea Party supporters, "Tea Party Americans, you're winning!"

Crowd estimates ranged from more than 500 people to nearly 2,000.

The former Alaska governor said common sense is an "endangered species" in Washington, D.C., and that they couldn't "party like it's 1773" until conservatives had regained control of Washington.

In her speech, Palin endorsed Tea-Party candidate Sharron Angle and slammed her opponent Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Palin is touring the country with hopes of uniting conservative supporters and getting them to vote on Nov. 2.

Her stop in Reno was the first of a 30-city tour sponsored by the California-based group who has helped secure nominations for Tea Party candidates.
