Vote Conservative.

Who cares if it is “helpful” to the GOPe? I don’t.

Perhaps she is doing it precisely because she had nothing to prove.

why don’t you sign up for some civics classes and find out how this stuff works. Your comment is absurd in light of how it works.

I say...good for Sarah. LA’s “jungle primary” is set up so that whatever % of the vote Maness garners, won’t take away from Cassidy, or cause more votes for Landrieu.

Gumming it all up. Down the stretch home stretch as we work to take out Reid.

Ask yourself this. Do you think Landrieu and Reid are happy or concerned about Palin campaigning for Maness?

Please.

Cassidy is now leading Landrieu on all polls, and up 51-38 head to head in latest FOX News poll.

Palin should have done this months ago, not at the last minute. (And no one is a bigger fan of Gov Palin than me.)

This will undoubtedly help Manees a bit. But he will still lose and then we will get all the hurt feelings, fractured base, etc.

Which only benefits Landrieu.

That’s such a stupid statement it’s hard to respond to it - so all I’ll say is that you too don’t know much about the reality of civics. Nor do you have the anti GOP e cred I have by any means.

Agree - this is bad move - and really makes no sense that she would do this and the Roberts endorsement during the same week.

Not exactly. He could keep Cassidy from getting over 50% and throw the race into a runoff.

Sort of a counter balance?

They hold a ‘jungle primary” in November in lieu of a general election, with the two top vote-getters advancing to a runoff in December unless one of them somehow pulls a clear majority.

No one thinks Landrieu is getting 51 percent on the first vote, so even if Palin drives a chunk of tea partiers away from Cassidy and towards Maness, Cassidy’s still going to be in the runoff with Landrieu. Palin might even endorse him at that point in the name of party unity, just as she has Pat Roberts in Kansas.

From the article:

So she’s going to bat for him (Cassidy) but also for the longshot Maness to reassure grassroots righties that, per Maness’s campaign theme, she’s “one of us.” And as I say, it may well be that she ends up endorsing Cassidy anyway before the runoff once Maness is out of the picture.

Is Maness the Robertsons' favorite?

You know, when you have to tell someone how important you are, you run the risk of losing all creditability.

If only the GOPe worked as hard to defeat Democrats as they do to muzzle conservatives.

I cannot disagree with anything you wrote here.

It would be nice to dream about Maness and Cassidy being the two top finishers heading for the run-off. But we know it won't happen.

You are right on about this The ads that Manes are running are being funded by funding and approval of the Senate majority leader PAC. All the ads attack Cassidy. manes is running no ads against Landrieu. I supported Palin in her run. She is now a trouble maker. All this does is take votes from Cassidy. We need to get Landrieu out thus is not the way to do it. She is not even popular in Alaska, so she spends her time meddling in races that are sure to keep the democrats in control. This guy Manes is no conservative. I know too many democrats that are helping him. Landrieu is dumb as grass. We came close to getting her out in the last election. Rember the Louisiana purchase during the health care bill.
