TRENDING: After confusion, Palin back on the program for Iowa rally
CNN ^ | 08/31/11 | Peter Hamby

The Palin source said O'Donnell's representatives misled the tea party group about the extent of the governor's relationship with O'Donnell.

O'Donnell's representatives told event organizers that she would be in Iowa on the date of the rally and would like to come by and "say hi" to Palin, the source said. O'Donnell was then added to the speaking agenda.

The source told CNN that O'Donnell aides lied to organizers and said Palin had been communicating via text message with O'Donnell about the rally.

"The governor hasn't spoken to her in a year," the Palin source said of O'Donnell

This makes a lot more sense than some of the other news about this. O”Donnell seems like she is totally unhinged and starved for attention.

OK is there a single NAMED “source” “associate” or “aide” who have all this “information?”
All lies and BS without a name as far as I'm concerned—the MSM hate Palin so much they WILL make stuff up.
So I ask the typically unhinged FR Palin haters to cool their jets until we can at least get a name.

One thing to consider is that at no point was anyone working for Governor Palin quoted making anything close to an on-the-record comment about this issue.

See you in Iowa.

IF interested, "Link to quote" for more background info and updates.

Also, from http://www.therightscoop.com/saturday-tea-party-rally-palin-in-odonnell-out/

“An O’Donnell aide told RCP that the former GOP candidate for senator in Delaware had texted Palin to ask about the rapidly developing situation but had not received a response.”

Crow is a Palin supporter. That headline is nothing more than an editorial comment made up by the person who posted the story.

That’s just the opinion of the guy that wrote it... not like it’s established fact.

Other than Scott Conroy, Peter Hamby and to a lesser extent (my personal bias) Shushannah Walshe, I wouldn't believe one word from any journalist about Sarah Palin without direct confirmation from the governor herself. Period.

Conroy and Hamby, in particular, are fast becoming the two best young political reporters in the business.

Thanks. And if you query on my posts, which have been minimal today, you will notice I made that point early on...

Hope you are doing well.

NO RELAPSES ALLOWED!!

Opinion? Perry has been antiPalin (for Rove? or Romney?)
before. Right?

Jealous, misogynist RINO Governors Attempt to Silence Gov. Palin

"GOP Governors Pull the Plug On Palin's Press Conference
The Republican Governors Conference Press Guidelines promised
that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin would “take approximately
20 minutes of questions” at today’s morning press conference.
Instead, this press conference, attended by 150 local and national media
and taped by 26 video cameras, disintegrated into a fiasco
when Texas Governor Rick Perry shut it down after
only five minutes and four questions.
"

"Eight other governors assembled on the stage, all men, seemed
visibly uncomfortable with the “Palin at center stage” format.

When Perry stepped in front of Palin at the podium to announce
it was over just as it was getting started, Palin looked irritated,
and the media shouted, “You’ve got to be kidding,”
“This is ridiculous,” "Come on,” and
“We were promised more questions.”

I, for one, am gonna steer clear of this until Sarah says something. I don’t trust unnamed sources and this is about the tenth story, or version of it, out there.
These organizers have got to be shutting up. Every time they open their mouths, they add more confusion.

It's this simple...if Palin was not running...she would not care who was on stage with her....Plain and simple.

It's obvious that one of the candidates is trying to create a diversion of some sort and I am sure Sarah is up to the task..and already much further along with her response that we even assume.
