Finalized: Sarah Palin's February appearance in Central Arkansas

*
Sarah Palin's appearance at a fundraiser for the Arkansas GOP, first reported by The Tolbert Report, but then described as "cancelled" in a Facebook message by Tolbert's source, appears to be going on as scheduled:
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will be the keynote speaker for a Republican Party of Arkansas event Feb. 16, state GOP leaders announced Monday.

The event, "Arkansas Welcomes Sarah Palin," will be held at Verizon Arena in North Little Rock. Details of the time of the event have not yet been finalized.

The party will sell dinner and reception tickets. Dinner tickets are $175 each, and reception tickets are $500 per person or per couple and include a photo with Palin, the state GOP said.
Credit card holders can purchase their tickers via phone with a call to the Republican Party of Arkansas at (501) 372-7301. Those who want to pay by check or cash will have to visit the Winthrop Rockefeller Republican Center at 1201 West Sixth Street in Little Rock between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. weekdays.

General admission tickets are priced at $35 and $65, and they are available through Ticketmaster beginning at 10 a.m. Friday or from the Verizon Arena box office in Little Rock from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.

Republican Party of Arkansas Chairman Doyle Webb told the Arkansas Democrat Gazette that Gov. Palin's appearance at in the heart of Clinton and Huckabee country will be a boon for the state GOP:
"We see it as a great fundraising and spirit-raising opportunity," he said. "We think she will motivate conservatives all over the state."

The party has already been inundated with people interested in attending, Webb said.

"Our phones have been ringing off the wall," he said.
As Jason Tolbert maintained all along, this event was never actually cancelled, as Alaska's anti-Palin hate-bloggers claimed, nor was it even postponed. An "excited insider" merely rushed to Facebook to post details of the fundraiser prior to finalization. But clutching at any straw they could find to use as an imagined sword against Sarah Palin, the blogging midnight moonbats tried to use the confusion to reinforce the "quitter" talking points they had been given by the other radical leftists who run the DNC and the White House. Once again, their hysteria betrays them as a pack of lying idiotarians.
