it could be romney names pawlenty then casually asks Sarah to do a short speaking slot, he would be a total fool if he didnt. [from cbs hotsheet]....
...till, any speculation about who is or isn’t invited to the August 27th convention in Tampa could be jumping the gun. A top adviser for Rick Santorum - the last serious contender standing against Romney in the Republican primary - told CBS News that Santorum has been assured a speaking slot but has not yet received the formal invitation. Andrea Saul, a spokesperson for the Romney campaign, said that as far as she knows, “no invitations have gone out yet.”
Palin’s political action committee spent $4,500 earlier this year to reserve space for an event within walking distance of the convention’s venue, as Politico reported. She could see a scenario play out similar to 2008, when then-vice president Dick Cheney - also a polarizing figure at the time - received a surprise invitation just weeks before the convention.
romney has frozen Sarah out of his circle jerk. He has had talks with Newt/Santorum but not Sarah.
