INDIANOLA, Iowa, Sept. 1 (UPI) -- After hours of conflicting reports, organizers confirmed potential presidential candidate Sarah Palin will speak at a Tea Party rally in Iowa.
Consultants from Palin's team threatened to withdraw her from the rally if former Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell were present at the event, Politico reported.
O'Donnell was uninvited from the rally, scheduled for Saturday in Indianola, Iowa, late Wednesday at the request of Palin's people, the report said
"Palin has confirmed," Tea Party of America organizer Charlie Gruschow told Politico. "O'Donnell will not speak or be present."
This is not the first time Palin gave O'Donnell the cold shoulder. O'Donnell asked Palin to campaign with her shortly before election day in 2010. Palin reportedly attended a New York Jets game instead of participating in O'Donnell's campaign event.
Organizers of the Tea Party rally estimate an attendance of 10,000 people coming from all over the country. Palin is scheduled to be the keynote speaker at the rally.
After her appearance in Iowa, Palin is scheduled to make a stop in New Hampshire.
