INDIANOLA, Iowa, Sept. 1 (UPI) -- After hours of conflicting reports, organizers confirmed potential presidential candidate Sarah Palin will speak at a Tea Party rally in Iowa.
Consultants from Palin's team threatened to withdraw her from the rally if former Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell were present at the event, Politico reported.
O'Donnell was uninvited from the rally, scheduled for Saturday in Indianola, Iowa, late Wednesday at the request of Palin's people, the report said
"Palin has confirmed," Tea Party of America organizer Charlie Gruschow told Politico. "O'Donnell will not speak or be present."
This is not the first time Palin gave O'Donnell the cold shoulder. O'Donnell asked Palin to campaign with her shortly before election day in 2010. Palin reportedly attended a New York Jets game instead of participating in O'Donnell's campaign event.
Organizers of the Tea Party rally estimate an attendance of 10,000 people coming from all over the country. Palin is scheduled to be the keynote speaker at the rally.
After her appearance in Iowa, Palin is scheduled to make a stop in New Hampshire.
Hmmmm. Sarah doesn’t like Christine. Meowwww...
"Consultants from Palin's team threatened to withdraw her from the rally if former Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell were present at the event, Politico reported." I'm considering the source...
I would say it is more accurate to say Sarah most likely was using this as a forum to announce her presidency and she knows (and is right) that if ‘self professed witch’ who just walked off a television show will be tied to Sarah instantly and be made a huge joke. From a media management message stand point O’Donnell speaking there is a disaster for Palin. The people hosting this should have made up their minds about there priorities. Or maybe they did. If I was Sarah, I would announce elsewhere.
This cat fight BS can’t work out well.
This could be all BS but Sarah could have ended it day ago with a statement.
This is the final nail if any of it is true.
I guess we will all know in a couple of days.
This is the final nail if any of it is true.

Abvoslutely. She’s finished. Again. Lol.
I think YOU and UPI are late! LOL!
It was confirmed well into yesterday that Sarah was still speaking at the event....
BTW how many final nails has that been now against Sarah? 10,000? I lost count!
PerryBOT’s and RomneyBOT’s tricks were tried ... and failed.
Gov. Palin was sabotaged by the RINO Perry, Rove, Romney team. Just as they destroyed American in 2008 to give
us all Obama. RINOs are curse on Americans.
It isn’t true the way politico tells it, but I am just really, really tired of explaining this over and over and over to people who keep coming back to each new thread saying, “Well, if this is true.....”
Get over it already.
Christine O’Donnell is a weak link...
Conservative true.. but not strong on her feet for “the cause”...
O’Donnell is trying to sell her book and she’s not running for anything.
Good move by Palin. Christine is a nut.
Same here. Politico and anonymous sources, not a reliable combo.
Yup. When you have fresh soup and add a turd of Politico, it becomes one bowl of sh*t.
That is hilarious and I can’t wait to use it in conversation.
What is Palin running for?
Yeah. The losing to Obama/Biden with McLame, her continued support of McLame after that loss, and the quitting for her job makes here a surefire winner in 2012!
Sarah is in it for Sarah. I don’t begrudge her for getting rich and I applaud it, but she has made some terrible political decisions if she hopes to unite the GOP base for a presidential run in 2012.
