As prognosticated on ThurstonBlog:
Ex-AK Gov. Sarah Palin's keynote speech at the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville will now be open to the press at her urging, according to the event organizer.
Tea Party Nation, the group hosting the sold-out convention at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Convention Center Feb. 4-6, had initially announced it would close most of the event to media outlets. But in a departure from Palin's pattern of avoiding the press, TPN founder Judson Phillips said she was the impetus behind reconsidering the restrictions.
"Our primary problem with media access is not ideological. It is physical," Phillips said. "We have a limited amount of space and this is a working convention."
The only media outlets currently credentialed, according to a statement released today by TPN, are Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and three conservative Web sites: Breitbart.com, Townhall.com and WorldNetDaily.com.
