Sorry for the short diary, but I thought you might like to know Carla Marinucci's The Spin Cycle in SFGate blog states:
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who was to star at two major California fundraisers and an Orange County rally for 15,000 next week, has canceled her two-day swing through the Golden State, campaign sources said.
The change is a shocker, because Palin's presence had electrified the GOP base in California. Party insiders were distributing 15,000 tickets to her Sept. 26 rally in Orange County
Team McCain says it's just a scheduling issue
...My ass. More likely California has become a waste of time for them. And time is running out.
According to recent polling, Obama leads McCain by 16 points.
And this almost made me cry:
Just last week, powerhouse Bay Area GOP fundraiser Kristen Hueter said Palin was a ''gangbusters'' fundraiser with folks snapping up tickets and coming from around the country for her Sept. 25 appearances.
''It doesn't happen in my world like this," Hueter told us last week. ''People are flying in ... from the Virgin Islands, Florida, Massachusetts, all over.''
Have a great day!
You guys made my day! My first Rec'd Diary. Cool!
UPDATE: rikachica has informed us that OC Register's TotalBuzz is saying the dates have been rescheduled.
San Francisco Chronicle report that vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin had cancelled her California visit, the campaign tells me that in fact it’s simply been postponed.
The new dates are Saturday, Oct. 4 for the fundraiser and Sunday, Oct. 5 for the the rally.
The cheap seats are going for $2,300.00....
