Iowa tea party: wants to keep details private on deals with Palin staff

RedState's Erick Erickson tweeted that something's going on between Sarah Palin and the Iowa Tea Party., just as the Wall Street Journal reported.

I looked up the reference Mr. Erickson gave, and there's definitely something going on, but it's "private, for now."

Christine O’Donnell is off the guest list – again – and Sarah Palin is a “maybe.”

In the latest episode in the drama over the speaking lineup for Saturday’s Tea Party of America rally in Iowa, organizer Ken Crow said Palin’s staff called this morning to say Palin’s appearance at the rally was “on hold” until three changes were made.

“They said, ‘Ken, can you take care of bing, bing, bing’ and I said, ‘Yessir, I will’ and I did,” Crow, an Indianola Republican told The Des Moines Register.

“Now I’m waiting to hear back.”

Crow said two of the requests were logistical details: Email a copy of the program today, and address concerns about back-stage security and who will be allowed in that area.

Asked about the third request, Crow said: “Can I let that remain private for now?”

via Iowa tea party made three changes at Palin’s staff’s request | Iowa Caucuses.

I wish the Palin camp weren't playing these games.

The way that Christine O'Donnell is being treated reminds me of the way that Governor Palin has been treated by others. (shameless Twitter "follow me" removed.)

Good. Keep details quiet. Gov Palin has already the reports she is not going are wrong. The Tea Party decided to uninvited O’Donnell.

I’d expect this crap from putting together a junior high school girls’ sleepover, but not from national-stage politicians. And that damned fake organization that claims to represent all the Tea Party isn’t helping, either. Bunch of assclowns if you ask me.

>>>I wish the Palin camp weren’t playing these games.

The games being played are the people running this event. They’re a bunch of rank amateurs even less ready from prime-time than all those PDS tortured souls here think Sarah is.

(Followed the rules about posting from blogs)

Seriously: why the fuss? Why the secrecy? And why can’t she make up her mind?

So why do Perry devotees preoccupy themselves with attacking Sarah Palin when they're not schilling for Perry. Strange...

One could not deliberately make the messes that have been made.

Of course one could!

What attack have I posted?

Is it an attack to report what is happening as we read and to say that I wish it hadn’t happened?

Sorry I wasn’t accusing you LH I just wanted to get your reaction as a matter of intellectual consistency on this side swipe thread.

I agree. If the Tea Party movement ever becomes centralized that will signal the end of it.
