The disinvitation from speaking, said a campaign committee official, was done “out of respect” for Gingrich.
“You dance with the one who brung ya,” said the official, who stressed that event organizers were still happy to have Palin appear and be introduced.
Ironically, Palin was originally supposed to be the headliner for the dinner. NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions of Texas wanted the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee to speak. And officials with the two party committees thought earlier this spring that she had committed, even going so far as to issue a press release announcing her appearance.
But after public uncertainty as to whether she had actually accepted and would attend, the NRSC and NRCC decided to invite Gingrich instead.
