According to the Washington Post article, Sarah Palin WILL be attending the GOP fundraiser after all. That is great news.

See the Washington Post article below in it’s entirety.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is planning to attend the joint House-Senate fundraising dinner tonight, according to sources familiar with her schedule, ending a back and forth between the vice presidential nominee and the two congressional campaign committees that goes back for months.

Palin was initially invited to keynote tonight’s gathering, which will benefit the National Republican Congressional Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee, as the keynote speaker.

Depending on whom you believe, Palin either accepted and then reneged or never accepted in the first place. Either way, the two congressional committees moved on — inviting former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (Ga.) to stand in for Palin.

Then came word — via Politico’s Jonathan Martin — that Palin had been re-invited to the event and asked to speak only to have that invite reneged when concerns were raised that she would overshadow Gingrich.

Palin’s appearance is one of several stops she will make while in the nation’s capital. “In DC, will meet w AK’s Washington office (John Katz) re: natural gas pipeline & readying AK for good movement on huge project for us & U.S.’s,” Palin tweeted minutes ago.

She has also taped an interview with Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity that is set to run this evening. In excerpts obtained by the Drudge Report Palin says “we told ya so” when asked about the direction President Obama has taken the nation, adding: “If Americans aren’t paying attention, unfortunately our country could evolve into something that we do not even recognize.”
