Iowa tea party event to feature Palin and O'Donnell
CNN ^ | 08/30/2011 | Kevin Bohn

Former Delaware Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell has joined Sarah Palin as a speaker at a tea party rally this weekend in Iowa, one of the event's organizers told CNN.

A representative of O'Donnell, who is travelling the country to promote her book "Troublemaker," approached the rally's representatives Monday to ask if there was room for her to speak, Charlie Gruschow, national co-chairman of the Iowa-based Tea Party of America, said. And there was.

No other national leaders will be addressing the rally, Gruschow said. Palin is slated as the event's closing speaker on Saturday afternoon.

Palin's address is drawing interest from around the nation, according to Gruschow, who said he has not been given any additional information on what the former Alaska governor may discuss at the event.

"She will make a major statement at the event," Gruschow said last week. "Whether it be an announcement to run, not to run, or lay a marker in the sand for other candidates."

The rally is meant to help promote the tea party values of limited government, the importance of the Constitution and fiscal responsibility, event organizers have said.

It is now officially un-debunked, getting stranger all the time.

“@ChristineOD Christine O’Donnell
In Troublemaker I talk about ‘rising above it’, and have humbly re-accepted the re-invitation to speak in Iowa on Saturday.”

Even their website lists no one for New Hampshire or South Carolina.

And it gets me Wayward, I am in Michigan and my gut tells me this State could be the big enchilada. Where is the ground game? She has or we have to build it, but if some folks set up a website nationally to do so and I get they are probably volunteers what gives when they can't even ask me to take the ball and run with it even if I am the wrong person to do it, or put me on a list as grunts and say we will get back to you?

O4P better get their act together and soon...

Christine O’Donnel—the TEA PARTY CANDIDATE who beat Rove’s Leftist RINO in the primary—then the RINOs back-stabbed her to defeat and now they kick her around like the elitist snots they are.
She wasn't the most electable conservative but at least she WAS a conservative a TEA PARTY CONSERVATIVE.
I had heard that she was dis invited but thank God Sarah,Christine and the TEA PARTY stick together.

The problem with Palin not running for president is that nobody out there even comes close.

Because the problems we have are summed up in one word: corruption.

To be the right president in these times, you have to hate corruption and you have to have the record to show it.

Only Palin has this.
