Sarah Palin canceled her Saturday appearance at a tea party rally in Indianola, Iowa, a person close the former Alaska governor told The Wall Street Journal.
The person cited “continual lying” from event organizers at Tea Party of America, including a recent mixup over whether former U.S. Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell of Delaware would also speak.
Ms. Palin is known for last-minute schedule changes that whipsaw supporters and media across the country. But the latest decision is puzzling. Ms. Palin’s speech at the rally was viewed as her most high-profile appearance of the summer, fueling speculation she was indeed plotting to run for the Republican presidential nomination.
Attendees were reportedly traveling from across the U.S. to attend the rally in Iowa, which holds the nation’s first nominating contest next year.
The former governor will now appear at a Friday event in Des Moines sponsored by the group Conservatives4Palin. It is currently scheduled for 8 p.m. at The Machine Shed Restaurant, though the location will probably have to be changed, the person close to Ms. Palin said. Ms. Palin is still scheduled to appear at a Tea Party Express tour stop Monday in New Hampshire.
Ms. Palin may still hold an event Saturday, the person said, though she has no firm plans. It’s also possible she could still attend the Indianola tea party rally, the person said.
The former governor’s team decided to back out Tuesday night after rally organizers re-invited Ms. O’Donnell to speak on stage. Organizers had booked Ms. O’Donnell, who lost her 2010 bid for a U.S. Senate seat from Delaware, to speak but quickly withdrew the invitation in an effort to avoid controversy.

You need a better picture. That one makes you look ...well...you know.... ;)
Looking at some of the comments on this thread, it appears that PDS'ers have jumped the gun...again.
The sad thing is the Sarah Palin ping list cult is way past that stage.
The coyness is in your head.
She is running and she will be in Iowa.
What is this, over-reaction Wednesday. I thought that was Monday we did that.
Somebody posts some rumor and everybody panics.
Don’t you remember the motto of Hitchhiker’s Guide? Don’t Panic.
I got your back
It is the nature of the PDSer to “Act Stupidly” ;)
Well, since I don't have a time machine, I guess I'll have to, won't I?
Indeed...and they assist her in doing so...remarkably!
I do love to watch her operate....none in the field can play her game though they attempt to mimic her...fortunately most of those who follow Palin can see that quickly.
She's a force without exception....and all to amusing seeing even her opponetes and those with other favored candidates give her great attention when she is on the move.
right. I like a lot of things about Perry and he will be my second choice but I love Palin on every issue.
She’s already been vetted and once the country (at large) sees her campaign and passionately deliver her message, she will succeed.
Thanks ;) PDS’ers are Sooooo CUTTTEEEEE when they drool ;)
Drool? Why is YOUR keyboard all wet?
They are so easily lead.
Kind of the way a cultist who wants to believe something, is so easily lead.
Any port in a Sarah storm. She did nothing and STILL sucked tthe oxygen out of the air. ROFL
They would LOVE for this to be true, but it isn’t and they won’t even acknowledge it. Instead they resort to insulting Freepers...’cause what else are they gonna do?
Thanks for the LOL, this is definitely the party thread of the day :)
Make no mistake if Palin runs I too will become a Palin-ite!
To use polls this far out from an election is as useless a pointing out the point of polls to me...lol
Because the mindless drivel of PDS around here is so vast that it travels over fiber optic cable, floods my computer and gets all over everything. BTW, I recommend breath mints. That drool of yours seems to have a foul smell to it.

So now it is a KEYNOTE speech? The other day she was announcing something BIG. So after her keynote speech then what? Another October surprise Palin announcement thread.Then when that does not happen what? All’s you people do is run around this forum and call everybody else RINO’s and those that tried to tell you weeks ago she was giving a keynote speech PDSer names. Get a grip and get some fresh air I do not think Palin is running.
I think now we do KNOW what`s going on...it`s on and all is well :)
WSJ etc trying to cause trouble. WSJ is not really a Conservative paper anymore, the Editorial page basically supports only the views of Republican Establishment, tell me I am wrong?
They are partners in the NBC/WSJ poll that allows Up Chuck Todd to take part in the wording of the questions.
