Rigell To Give Palin The Heisman At Freedom Fest
Brian Kirwin of Bearing Drift is reporting that GOP Second District Congressional candidate Scott Rigell has turned down a speaking role at Sunday’s Freedom Fest with Sarah Palin, Ollie North and others at Norfolk’s Ted Constant Convocation Center. Rigell’s decisions appears to follow the Shad Plank article: “Poll says Palin endorsement could hurt GOP nominees – Decision time for Rigell.” Origianlly, the Freedom Fest speaking lineup had included Rigell’s speech, with an introduction from primary opponent Ben Loyola, but although Rigell will be attending the event, his speech is canceled. Rigell’s campaign cited FEC rules in explaining the decision, since other candidates in the 2nd District weren’t offered equal time to speak at the private event.
