When asked about the rift between Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) and Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ) on FOX News this morning, Sarah Palin said she is on "Team Rand." Palin said, "he gets the whole notion of 'Dont Tread on Me' government, whereas Chris Christie is for big government."

I suspect the field will be more crowded than that. But it also raised an interesting question. If Palin has announced that she is on "Team Rand" then does that mean there is no way she's going to run herself?
The governor in the state just south of me will probably be glad to hear you say that. I expect he'll be running himself.
Folks, this is NOT an endorsement of Rand Paul for President.
All she did was pick sides between Rand Paul and Chris Christie.
And their divergent philosophies.
That’s all, folks.
I can’t believe I’m needing to point this out.
Yes I should have realized it was a bit tongue in cheek with a dash of sarcasm...
No, it means only one thing. As between the philosophies of Christie and Paul, she’s with Paul. To conclude ANYTHING else, as the poster of this thread and other comments did - such as “nice early endorsement” - is to take out of context a few words so as to distort the point she was making.
Christie equals bigger government.
Paul equals smaller government.
Remember, she was asked to comment on the feud.
Context is EVERYTHING.
I can get behind Rand or Ted - or both, in any order. Rubio, Santorum, Jeb Bush all no fly zone for me. Can’t and won’t vote for them.
I don’t agree 100 percent with Rand, but he is distancing himself from business as usual politics and big government Republicans in most cases.
I’m willing to listen to him, Cruz, Palin and in the talk media Glenn Beck.
Beyond that I think they all smell more, but I still listen to them to read between the lines about what they are saying.
Have to agree...
I completely agree. And she is 100% against Christie no matter what.
The heart of my philosophy is libertarianism -Ronald Reagan
Amen...Amen....A-freakin-men!!!
Miss you Mr. President.
>>Christie is from New Jersey North East Yankee Therefore, unacceptable<<
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism -Ronald Reagan”......
If it was good enough for Reagan, I’d jump on his wagon.
I’ll go with your endorsement Sarah.
It would be great for America if you were on the other half of that ticket and Paul would appoint Joe Arpaio was Attorney General.
Ronald Reagan Was No Libertarian
And despite the false claims of libertarians, he was a fiscal conservative too. He was just pragmatic as well.
I am in the same boat. My hope is that without such welfare as we have now, the illegal invaders will a) not have such incentive to break-in and b) won't cost nearly as much if they do break in.
At least that's my hope.
Food for thought:

Sarah has it right.
Also, this is Palin’s best function, as a solidly conservative spokesman not as a candidate.
