ABC News’ Sheila Marikar and Shushannah Walshe report:
Sarah Palin has not canceled her keynote speech for the Tea Party of America’s Saturday rally in Indianola, Iowa, according to the event’s organizers.
Ken Crow, the founder of the Tea Party of America, told ABC News this morning that he “hung up with [Palin's] people five minutes ago” and “she’ll be here on Saturday.”
“Gov. Palin is a lady of her word and impeccably honest,” he added. He admitted that the organization’s encountered “a couple of errors” in planning the Sept. 3 rally.
“I’m naive when it comes to politics and what you are supposed to say to and not say and my crew and I are rookies at this sort of thing,” he said. “We made mistakes and now we are fixing them. It’s all good.”
Multiple media outlets reported this morning that Palin had backed out of the “Restoring America” event, but still planned to be in Iowa on Saturday.

democrats are very, very afraid of Palin!
What? No way would the msm make up anything to slap down Palin!
I simply cannot wrap my head around the lies they pass around Sarah.
I’m like that in real life as well. When I know someone is lying to me, especially a compulsive liar, I just look at them like they have 3 heads.
I just stare at them blinking, then walk away.
Palin is coming, and the Tea Party is coming with her.
I gotta hand it to Sarah Palin, She knows how to make these libs look like complete idiots, along with foiling their plans at every turn. No wonder the leftists hates here with a passion.
Let’s all remember this moment.
The astonishing lie the Left tried to foist on us and its swift rebuttal by the Palin camp.
“democrats are very, very afraid of Palin!”
You bet.
To them, women belong barefoot in the kitchen, unless it’s to play a fawning female cuckold Secretary of State.
Big handsome “Janet”s have the fast track for law enforcement jobs, though.
I LOVE that pic....now I have to go watch the video again!!!
I can not wrap my head around how many Freepers take the bait.
What do we know about Ken Crow? Who is he?
I’d say they weren’t Sarah supporters to begin with....just stirring the pot.
“I’m naive when it comes to politics and what you are supposed to say to and not say and my crew and I are rookies at this sort of thing,” he said. “We made mistakes and now we are fixing them. It’s all good.”
Yup. It's the MSM and libs faults.
The organizers are in no way responsible for this cluster ----.
Infrastructure is rock-solid.
My guess is he’s a decent enough guy, just inexperienced. Problem is you have no luxury of being inexperienced at that level in Iowa during the Presidential season. He could have really damaged her campaign. I imagine this is all over O’Donnell coming - it was pretty stupid to shoehorn her in at the last minute and I’m more than a little torqued.
This is one of the downsides to being first-in-the-nation. With all the money and media scrutiny a simple little screwup at one little event could completely torpedo a campaign. Alot of people mean well and have good hearts, but you get no points for that at that level. All people remember is the candidate falling on their face.
Iowa ping!
They need to cancel O’Donnell.
The MSM lied by saying it was cancelled, that’s a fact! You piece of PDSer troll
Posters at C4P state that Ken Crow was part of RICK PERRY’s campaign last year...anyone know in what capacity he served?
