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.

"Game On!" Palin Says in Iowa Radio Ad Real Clear Politics ^ | 08/22/11 | Scott Conroy
game on!
That is silly, Palin is way better looking than me.
It’s you mind! They love you for your mind! ;)
I'm even worse off, then. I believed the 2006 polls, but didn't the 2008.
Guess I needed another smart meter implementation!
I would roll around in a box full of broken glass, then pour salt water over myself, then cover myself in crude oil and set myself on fire, all while shooting moose from a helicopter using a .50 cal with armour piercing rounds, if SARAH! asked me to.
/well, actually, I wouldn't.
silly LOL,
Not to worry, she wont ask :"See ya Sept 3rd"

You guys are beginning to sound like Baghdad Bob.
Go Sarah, work up that crowd they love it.
Fixed it for ya.
I think she would be terrific there.
For God’s sake man! You bring facts to a shouting contest? What are you? Some sort of “bot-troll”?
We must worship at the Altar of Sarah!
Watch out, you might have to have your heart torn from your chest to bring about a Sarah victory. But don’t worry, I will be right behind you in the line.
“We must worship at the Altar of Sarah!”
Exactly! We Palin cultists demand blind loyalty! I’ll have to check. Some apparently did not get the memo. Glad you are on the case!

Took hours to come up with that huh? I understand. We can’t all be intelligent. But that’s OK!!!. You are special too. I’ll send along the “Participant” medal shortly.
More silly of you thinking like that - for sure you don’t have a thimble full of her successes with that thought process!
I think you are right.
That’s okay, IMHO!

Poly, Greater minds than yours or mine have made the Sun Tzu comparison to Palin. But here’s the thing. If I am wrong and Palin does not run, I will wake up the next day, as will she and life will go on.
If I am right, you will wake up the next day screaming “The Stupid! It BURNS!!!” OK, perhaps not. You will just keep posting your PDS nonsense in a vain hope that someone somewhere hears/reads you and cares.
HER goose is cooked?
THIS was cooked up by a vicious PerryBOT.

Bad RINOs.
