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

Posted on 08/31/2011 3:50:46 PM PDT by winoneforthegipper

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

Crow is a Palin “supporter”?

Is that convenient NOW? or then?

There was never any “confusion” just a whole bunch of nonsense made up by the media to cause problems. Sarah Palin endorsed Christine O’Donnell, they have no issue being on the same stage with each other, the whole story was preposterous. Misunderstandings happen, is she coming, is she not coming, things like that happen all the time when events are planned..no big deal, at the end, Sarah is coming and the rally will be AWESOME!

Yes!

Well hopefully not too many threw out their tickets over that other silly thread. Well, it livened up the day anyway.

Christine has no problem being on the stage with Palin. She covets the idea. Whether Palin feels the same well....I'd disagree with your assessment.

Peter has access and access means rating and money for CNN. So she is getting a reasonably fair shake, for now.

Thanks Al B. I have been too busy today to follow this *story* about the Governor.

I'm still in the weeds and think the *story* belongs there too.

Who's afraid of Governor Sarah Palin? Shall we count 'em?

Well Im not sure if she would have an issue being on the same stage with her(Im not a mind reader, I wish I was LOL) but I dont see why it would be an issue, she did endorse her after all..but when all is said and done, it will be a great event, the media loves making stuff up to cause problems

Thanks, much better, and I’m certain you’ve had it right all along! I guess I will have to read the articles. *Sigh*.

O'Donnell wanted to push her book.

Note to COD. If you are going to try and trade on somebody else's value, you should at least ask them first...

You haven't spoken to someone in over a year and the all of a sudden you are going to be in the neighborhood IN IOWA and just want to say "hi"?

OMG.

I have no idea about any of this. Nothing from the Governor herself, is my take. Rival camps trying to cause disruption?

Governor Palin wouldn’t disappoint her supporters!

Indianola, Iowa was always ON!

Ken Crow is still untrustworthy and Christine O’Donnell is a witch!

Get well, onyx! Gotta be 100% for the long slog ahead. :) It will get worse. The ruling class won’t go down without an ugly fight.
