Palin Campaign Watch

by Chris Bodenner

The quitter-in-chief sounds like she's bailing on her big appearance at a Tea Party rally in Iowa this Saturday:

The person [close to Palin] said Ms. Palin’s appearance was "no longer confirmed" and 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.

So far she hasn't backed out on her appearance at a similar rally in New Hampshire on Monday. But it's only Wednesday.
