Framing the Mississippi Senate primary as a "clear fight for the future of the Republican Party against the entrenched interests of the permanent political class in D.C.," former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin endorsed conservative Mississippi state Senator Chris McDaniel on Thursday in his upstart bid against six-term incumbent Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran, who admitted that he was unfamiliar with the Tea Party movement that has put the Washington establishment on alert.
"The Mississippi Senate race is a clear fight for the future of the Republican Party against the entrenched interests of the permanent political class in D.C. We desperately need new conservative leaders in the U.S. Senate who will serve with passion, intelligence, and integrity."
UPDATE: McDaniel told Breitbart News that Palin's endorsement will help him and his campaign "end the rule of the permanent political class in Washington, D.C.":
"Governor Sarah Palin's endorsement is very important in the state of Mississippi. We Mississippians are conservatives, and we share Sarah Palins passion for limited government, lower taxes, traditional values, and constitutional liberties. This is a grassroots movement driven by the people of Mississippi, so there's no question Gov. Palin's endorsement will help motivate people to get behind this campaign to end the rule of the permanent political class in Washington, D.C."
Palin wrote that McDaniel was "just such a leader" who is "in this race not for career, but for conservative change." She said he "has a proven record of fighting for conservative principles in the Mississippi State Senate" and "been a champion of limited government, free enterprise, civic participation, reduced tax rates, a strong national defense, and a return to the original checks and balances of the Constitution."

CHRIS McDANIEL FOR U.S. SENATE FROM MISSISSIPPI
Chris McDaniel has a proven record of fighting for conservative principles in the Mississippi State Senate. He has been a champion of limited government, free enterprise, civic participation, reduced tax rates, a strong national defense, and a return to the original checks and balances of the Constitution. Hes a proven fighter for the rights of We the People. For example, hes taken on special interests in defense of our private property rights against the abuse of eminent domain, and hes introduced legislation to protect our 2nd Amendment rights against federal government overreach.
The Mississippi Senate race is a clear fight for the future of the Republican Party against the entrenched interests of the permanent political class in D.C. We desperately need new conservative leaders in the U.S. Senate who will serve with passion, intelligence, and integrity. Chris McDaniel is just such a leader. He is in this race not for career, but for conservative change.

Magnolia State Ping!
Sarah Palin's Awesome Ping List Ping!
Who would you propose she endorse?
There was not one of the motley crew challenging Cornyn who deserved it.
The line up for the first string team is just beginning!
From a distance, McDaniel’s wife looks like Governor Palin.
“The line up for the first string team is just beginning!”
You got it! Shannon, Sasse, McDaniel, Bright Bevin, Brannon, Carr, Wolf.
The Senate next January could be a much different place!
Chris McDaniel BUMP! Thanks for the ping.
Thanks for the clarification.
Any R that does not fight the GOPe is worse than useless.
GO Sarah!
At first glance, I thought so, too. I think it’s the hairstyle ;)
Amen to what you said!!
She needs to come to Desoto county and rally this guy into office.
Where was she last week in Texas?

This Texan wanted McCornyn out, as much as anybody. I just don’t think there was a candidate that Sarah felt strong enough about, to endorse.

We're in complete agreement. Hell, there wasn't a candidate I could get excited about either.
Cornyn was going to win and the odds were against even holding him to a run-off -- because none of the challengers were realistic candidates or had the money to act like one.
In the end, I voted for Stovall -- hoping he could sneak into 2nd place and, if Cornyn finished under 50%, would have at least a slim chance in a run-off. The quirky Stockman was never a valid option. I ended up voting for Stovall, who had little or no chance. But maybe, just maybe, he could get enough votes to finish 2nd -- ahead of the flake, Stockman --
