I know from my government work, a perfected speech is finished about 24 hours before it is to be delivered, Palin was disinvited several days ago, it is clear she wanted to make a spectacle out of the event and attempt to prove she had some knowledge of foreign policy. Lets get real and send Palin back to Alaska. Our relationships with foreign nations aren't good now, we don't need her making them any worse. This Headline says it all:

GRRR
Gov. Palin pulled a real interesting move today that shows the sharp edged tactics of the Mccain campaign. Gov. Palin was supposed to speak at the Iran Rally today, she didnt, and she has known for several days that she wasn't going to speak there. YET SHE RELEASED THE SPEECH SHE WAS GOING TO GIVE!??? Why would a speech be written that far in advance, perfected that far in advance, making mention of Clinton (who made it clear that once Palin was speaking, she wouldnt be there) and then released to the public.

Or, she could merely have been planning to give her set stump speech, with a few occasion-specific insertions; to then release that speech afterwards doesn't seem to me all that unusual.
I do understand that, it just seemed odd to release a speech she was PLANNING on giving but never gave. It seemed too political for me.
Fair enough, but (a) a Vice Presidential candidate being _political_ surely shouldn't be too unusual and (b) it was an expressly political event, no?
I don't understand why she shouldn't have released the speech. It was not her fault that Clinton was too stubborn to show up and the Obama campaign refused to send anyone worthwhile to the rally.
The real shame is that hundreds, if not thousands, more people would have shown up to the rally to see the likes of Palin and Clinton, and this was not the case because of jealousy and personal interest rather then national and communal interest.
