For the second time, a tentatively planned appearance by vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin in Central Florida has been canceled—this one because of the forecast of thunderstorms.
Palin was supposed to come to The Villages retirement community Sunday. That event, planned to be outdoors, has been postponed because of the threat of thunderstorms.
Campaign officials won’t talk on the record about upcoming events until a couple of days before they occur, so it’s unclear whether the event is likely to be rescheduled for a different place at the same time, a different time at the same place or not at all.
According to Weather.com, the forecast for the Lady Lake area for Sunday is for scattered thunderstorms and a 30 percent chance of rain.
A tentative plan for Palin to come to Tampa immediately after the Republican convention also fell through. The campaign never formally announced the event and never said anything about why it didn’t occur.
Maybe she should have her evangelical church pray away the rain or is she afraid to get that $500.00 hair cut wet. ***t doesn’t melt in the rain it runs.
I don’t know why you democrats are making comments about Palin not coming to Central Florida because of rain. She is so popular right now that the McCain camp can pick and choose what rallys for her to go to because for every one rally that she speaks at there are five rallys that her camp can cancel because no matter what she will still dominate the headlines. If you guys claim that she isn’t qualified news flash none of the presidential and VP candidates are qualified!
Whoever thinks McCain/Palin or Obama/Biden are crazy. The economy, unemployement, social secerity are so messed up it is going to take years and years to even begin to start to recover. And if my daughter is raped and impregnated I will hope she has the options she chooses. Why have any further damaged children. Why do people adopt from other countries? They do not want our children wasting away if our system. Shame on you all.
MR. McGLYNN,
AT LEAST OBAMA SHOWS UP HE DOESN’T CANCEL.
Palin has 6 years of college at 4 different schools. These were in Hawaii,Idaho and Alaska. She had PTA and mayor of a small town (50000). She was one member of an energy commission and governor for 18 months.
Obama attended Occidental college on a schlorship,Columbia University and harvard Law School.He was the first black president of the law review and graduated with honors. 3 years as a community organizer,8 years as a illinois elected legislator (750,000 people) and 12 years as a constitutional law professor and 4 years as a US Senator. Serves on the Foreign Relations committee and the health and welfare and Veterans committee. Has sponsored o
. Which person would you want to represent you?
I just called Republican Headquarters. The Sarah Palin event in The Villages HAS NOT BEEN CANCELLED as of noon today 9/20. So if you really care to see our next Vice President…join us in Lady Lake tomorrow!
So give us a venue INDOORS in Jacksonville, Gainesville..anyplace we can get to so we CAN see her.
We are saving our VILLAGES tickets and hope to use them for the next opportunity to meet our future VP.
Q. What’s the difference between Sarah Palin and Dan Quayle?
A. Lipstick.
Oh, and Sarah’s house is closer to Russia
Hunting moose with a high-powered rifle - no problem.
Facing reporters and questions - big problem.
Well Mr. March I guess you’ll have to eat your words. Mrs. Palin will be there on Sunday. Try and listen with an open mind, not just getting ready for more biased left wing attacks. report the story, don’t spin it!
After she said neither Palin nor McCain had the qualifications to run HP as CEO, which didn’t matter because being President was different, Carli Fiorina, the ex-CEO of HP has been “disappeared” by the McCain campaign. Maybe poor Sara Palin said wrong words, such as the “Palin-McCain Administration”, could they have “diappeared” her?
Sara Palin—heartbeat away from the Presidency. After I heard the flub McCain made about the Prime Minister of Spain, I watched this video piece on UTube.com at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9s9IERbxFFA. McCain said the “FEC”, not “SEC.” Obviously he meant SEC because he called for firing the head of SEC yesterday. But McCain is either fatigued, taking medicines that cause him to mis-speak, undergoing opening ravages of Altzheimers disease—something very strange is going on with this 72-year-old man. He needs to undergo a medical exam, release his medical papers if he wants to be President of our country. This is not campaign nonsense; it is necessary if we are to have a functioning President.
P-uh-l-e-a-s-e. Of all the myths perpetrated on the innocent people of this country, the worst if the chimera of the “liberal media.” Pick up your newspaper, and watch TV. Notice all those “liberal” oil company ads funding your “free” press.
Nations with liberal media, also have guarantees their children will health care when they are sick, paid sick leave during with to take them to the doctor and adequately funded education, just to list a few.
We have the myth of a liberal media and the infant mortality and death rates of a backward nation.
Whether WAR WARc likes it or not, our country faces a number of ENORMOUS issues that we must solve—not just abortion. We need to preserve the health and lives of ALL Americans, not just those who haven’t yet left the womb.
Our country would be a lot better off if we considered all of the issues facing our country, and not just one or two pet issues that affect a small segment of the population. We’ve GOT to wake up and STOP voting against our best interests.
What do you feel is best for ALL Americans? How do you view the U.S. as a civil society? That is really the question you should be asking yourself when you enter the ballot box come November.

... “I think Palin is more qualified than Obama…but who cares. We are pitting Obama agains McCain….arent’ we???? He is 10X more qualified.”
crystal winter, perhaps you could be specific in terms of mccain’s qualifications.
what are mccain’s qualifications for the office of the president.
and for the record, “we” are not “pitting” anyone against anyone. senators obama and mccain are running for the office of president.
WAR WARc:
“The people against her are the same people who murder their babies “
Huh? It must be sad being part of a dwindling minority on this Palin thing. You can really sense the bitterness.
I am sure my comment won’t get posted. I am not a left wing liberal socialist, so it will be deleted. I think Palin is more qualified than Obama…but who cares. We are pitting Obama agains McCain….arent’ we???? He is 10X more qualified. The rain thing is so prejudicial and funny. another left wing stab at the republicans….but this won’t get posted.
Well silly everyone knows she’d melt if she gets rained on, DUH!!!
She is so completely unqualified for the job and the platform they’re running her and McCain on smacks of cartoon villany it’s so one sided.
If this whole thing ends up with Barack in tights trying to ‘re-seize’ the white house from McCain than I am totally giving up on us ever having a culture here. I’m just going to treat the world like a mall.
Maybe Palin is like the wicked witch of the west and she melts if she gets wet?
If your not going to post oposing views you might as well remove the story, I’ve sent to comments defending Mrs. Palin And John McCain and neither made your blog. I guess your only posting Pro Obama statements
the Sunday event was cancelled on Wednesday because of potential rain? Doesn’t Florida have potential rain every day? There must be some other reason(s) why Palin is not coming.
You people believe anything the media throws your way…..as if she is scared of a storm. please! She lives in Alaska and has braved much worse when it comes to weather. She will be the best VP ever and should be running for President!
Makes me wonder what the real reason was!! Does she shrink in the rain? I think she doesn’t have her script down yet!

This story turned out to be totally bogus. Mrs. Palin did attend the stump as scheduled.
