Former reality television star Sarah Palin made her 17th endorsement of the primary season on Tuesday, when the former Alaska governor threw her support and credibility behind Steve Lonegan, a staunchly anti-immigration Tea Partier, who is running in the June 3 primary for the Republican nomination in New Jersey’s competitive 3rd Congressional District.
“Steve is the type of conservative leader we need. He believes in the free market principles this country was founded on because he has seen first hand how they can lead to success,” Palin said in a Facebook post.
It is unclear how much a Palin endorsement helps a candidate. In 2010, Palin endorsed 64 candidates, 10 of whom lost their primaries and 20 of whom lost in the general election. Remember Sharron Angle and Christine O’donnell? Palin helped build that.

Lonegan is NOT anti immigration. He is anti ILLEGAL immigration, hardly the same thing.
Re: Palin...
A worthless target attracts no fire.
The real question is “Does Christie still play in NJ”?
No!
Here is Sarah's stump speech:
Sorry, but I've got dibbs. And with me she won't have to change the name she screams.
“Former reality television star Sarah Palin...”
That’s “Governor Palin” to you, asshat.
What an insulting opening line. Mayor, Governor, Vice Presidential candidate, Tea Party leader...
Sarah can play anywhere she wants...........
Well, I think we lost each others numbers years ago, so that’s good.
Don’t need an azz kicking from anyone who rides snow machines.
