When Todd Palin announced on Monday that he was backing Newt Gingrich for president, some speculated he was acting as a proxy for his wife. Not so, said Sarah Palin on FOX last night.
“First dude went rogue,” Sarah Palin told FOX Business Network’s Eric Bolling when asked whether her husband had consulted her before making the endorsement. “And I respect him for doing that.”
“Todd is all about hard hats and steel-toed boots and getting people to work,” she said. “Todd obviously believing that Newt Gingrich represents more of that connectivity to the working class and to what it’s going to incentivize the private sector to create jobs for the skilled workforce.”
Palin also spoke to Romney’s “firing” comment, saying that “in this era of huge joblessness in our country,” his remark showed “some tone deafness.”
“That statement, I think, really negatively affected a lot of people who feel downtrodden, can’t find and a job, and don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel,” she said.

Governor and vice-Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, was Governor for 32 months. During her 20 years in politics Todd has come to be known as “first dude”.
Sarah, my advice is to listen to Todd. You might learn something.
Michelle Obama?
she was gov from 2006 to 2008 how does that make it 32 months?
She was Governor in 2006, and 2007, and 2008, and 2009.
Why don’t you just use your world wide web box, and look into it.
She held office form Dec 2006 through July 2009.
Its going to start in 45 minutes at 5pm my time, I want to see when it was actually filmed, we have had a ton of snow lately in Wasilla and another 11 inches forecasted tonight.
How about my husband or Todd? I like Palin, but he’s not first dude. It sounds a little retarded.
Biden, Palin, Obama, and McCain did not resign their respective offices while running in the 2008 campaign.
No, really? LOL I wonder who Larry is endorsing?
Wow.
A man that puts his campaign on hold to take a cruise and a half a million dollar shopping trip to Tiffanys, really doesn’t make too much connectivity to me or mine. I wouldn’t say he was wrong to do do it if he can afford it.
But then neither does Mitt. Santorum comes in closer.
Palin came down here to the contiguous United States to help lead the conservative movement to one of it’s biggest victories in history in 2010.
It’s just a Family nickname that has been used for years.
I don’t think it sounds retarded at all. To each his own.
Tempest in a Teapot as my Mother used to say.
“Governor is a 4 year term she served 32 months what happened to the other 16 months? “
She was busy plotting the Tuscon massacre./s
Since you post on FR I assume you know all this, so I guess you're just being contrary to get a rise out of the FReepers that support Sarah Palin. OR - you are genuinely concerned about how the Palin Family is perceived by brain dead Liberals... To each his own.
SHHHHHHHHH. Don't put that in print. That's why we had the planning meeting in that super duper secret location inside Grants Tomb, or was it in the Gotti Mausoleum?
Next thing you know they'll be calling Map Points “Targets” and scary looking Guns "Assault Weapons". Loose lips sink ships. Pass it on.
Compared to Milt he’s Fred Flintstone and Ralph Cramden combined.
