Well, apparently CO told them she had been texting Sarah, and was on good terms with her, and since Sarah Palin’s very public endorsement of CO is probably why she won the primary, I think they could be forgiven for not realising that the two were no longer on speaking terms.
I certainly had not read anywhere that they weren’t.
Also, since nobody in the palin camp is speaking on the record about any of this, we really don’t know what happened officially.
My better judgement tells me not to respond to you since you tend to go off the wall when I do, but here goes anyway.
When organizing an event like this, a POLITICAL event, you don’t take someone’s unsubstantiated word about another person for ANYTHING. You verify. That is YOUR reponsibility. It would have taken all of two minutes to ask Sarah Palin, who after all is THE huge draw to this event, to either confirm or deny. That is called due diligence. They didn’t.
As a result, they nearly blew this event out of the water. The media had a field day with it, ultimately, even as late as this morning, using it to make CO the victim and Sarah the bad guy.
It also didn’t help that this crow idiot kept flapping his gums adding confusion on top of confusion throughout the entire livelong day.
Sarah knows that thousands of people have paid for tickets to this event. There was simply no way she could cancel. NONE.
Sarah is a nice woman. SHE is professional. But if it was me, the first thing I would do upon my arrival is smack ken crow silly. Then again, I have nothing to lose.
