* On Facebook today, Sarah Palin endorsed U.S. Rep. Todd Tiahrt, GOP candidate for the United States Senate seat currently held by Sam Brownback, who is retiring from that body to run for Gov. of Kansas:
Thank Todd Tiahrt for True Public ServiceTiahrt is the leader of Kansas' U.S. House delegation and sits on the powerful Appropriations Committee. His main opponent in the August 3 GOP primary is another U.S. Congressman, Jerry Moran.I’m happy to endorse Todd Tiahrt’s campaign to be the next U.S Senator from Kansas. Todd is a protector of our Constitution, a pro-family, pro-Second Amendment Commonsense Conservative who has never voted for a tax increase and has fought to end the wasteful spending coming out of Washington. He didn’t just stand on the sidelines complacently, but instead actually battled against the bailouts, the debt-ridden stimulus spending, the cap-and-tax energy schemes, and Obamacare. In fact, remember on the day Obamacare was being debated, Todd Tiahrt was on the House floor all day working to defeat it, and he’s helped lead the charge to repeal and replace Obamacare the moment it was signed into law. We can count on Todd to take on the liberal spending agenda of the Obama administration and fight for lower taxes, more individual freedom, and less government intrusion.
Please join me in supporting Todd Tiahrt’s campaign by visiting his website at www.ToddTiahrt.com and following him on Facebook and Twitter.

Pinged.
On another note: I screw up earlier today this the AOL post.
it won’t happen again.
Cory.
Magnificent news! Kansas Democrats haven’t come up with an opponent so this race will be decided at the primary on Aug 3. Tiahrt has tirelessly toiled in the vinyards and, in the Senate, he’ll be one we can count on. Fellow Kansans: time to get busy! Non-Kansans: time to get out the checkbook!
Tiahrt is infinitely preferrable to Moran and would work great with Toomey, Rubio, Angle, Rand,and other young dynamic conservative leaders. However, Moran has been leading in most polls. Let’s hope the Palin endorsement gives Tiahrt a lift.
I wish Sarah could endorse a conservative Democrat so we would have some real choices and so we could see some positive changes in a hurry. Wouldn’t that freak the liberals!
You are not allowed to screw up and don’t let it happen again /s
The object is - to have the Republicans have the majority of the House & Senate as in dumping Pelosi as speaker.
I don’t care how a dem thinks, it still means a Dem majority with Harry Reid and Pelosi and they call the shots
on committees, votes, etc.
Tiahrt is definately the underdog, as Moran has the early lead. In the House races, she is much more likely to endorse an underdog than in her senate and governor ensorsements.
This one will be a real tough test of the power of her endorsements. let’s see if Tiahrt can turn this race upside down.

Don’t feel bad. I just double-posted. Apologies, all.

Thanks JP.
Good move, but did she check with McPain first? I think he is for Moran. Hope she doesn’t withdraw her endorsement
McCain endorsed Moran.
However, Tiahrt has grass roots support. I believe Mike Pence, Rick Santorum, and James Dobson backed Tiahrt as well. Let’s see if Club for Growth, Tea Party Express, and Freedom Works do.
And I’m happy to be voting for Moran. SO once again I butt heads with Palin and finally in my state.
Didn’t know about McCain backing Jerry Moran. Rather I heard Moran was backed by Jim DeMint.
Here is the DeMint endorsement for Moran:

bump
Just read the thread on McCain, but Palin backs Tiahrt and she backed Fiorina over DeVore. So for now I’ll stay with Moran.
