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 Networks 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 its going to incentivize the private sector to create jobs for the skilled workforce.
Palin also spoke to Romneys 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, cant find and a job, and dont see a light at the end of the tunnel, she said.

Map points...Got it. Wink, wink.
No one cares who Senator John McCain endorsed, much less his wife, whereas this Todd Palin thing has legs.
“If she, herself, does nothing SOON she may wel bear some indirect responsibility for RINO ROMNEY being the nominee...who cannot beat Obongo.”
Just curious. What percent of the GOP primary electorate do you estimate would vote as she recommended, because she recommended it?
IOW other than the way they were inclined to vote.
I think it would need to be done on a state by state analysis. For example, I doubt her comments would carry much weight in a state like New Hampshire, although it could have had some effect, however when you get down to a state like South Carolina, which is a completely different animal, and a place where undoubtedly she is much more popular within the GOP, the difference could be important, it would certainly be higher than in New Hampshire. And finally, t_s, if you threw in the thought of her doing joint appearances in SC, that would really be a campaign rally draw and help the endorsed candidate. At the very least, in a place like South Carolina, where Huntsman will not rise that much, I dont know how well Paul will do, but the next tier of true Conservatives could be shaken up and one of them could be considerably propelled, combined with other tactics, to dethrone Romney or cut into his situation considerably, with such an endorsement. If I am not mistaken, her PAC could also do independent ads, but have to check that.
“...this Todd Palin thing has legs.”
Can you name five people who will be voting for Newt on the fact that he was endorsed by Todd Palin?
That is all...
That comment makes me suspicious of your true leanings.
Name one person that will vote for Mutt because Juan McLettucehead endorsed him.
Endorsmernts from other politicians mean little and endorsements from politician’s spouses mean nothing.
Legs only - if Sarah follows her husband’s wishes.
Say it to his face, in private, with nobody around numb nuts.
You know paranoia strikes deep into your heart it will creep there is a man over there with a gun.....
A boatload more than will be influenced by Juam McInsane, his plus-sized perky daughter on MSNBC and his wife, don’t you think?
Since you are not a new Poster here, apparently he (and I) would wonder about your professed ignorance regarding the reasons Governor Palin chose to resign her position. Many threads were dedicated to that particular subject.
I was going to respond to your post but upsdriver beat me to it. Right or wrong, your comment came across exactly the opposite of what you now say you intended.
Maybe we're all just a little touchy because of Romney. LOL
IOWs my challenge to name one person who will vote for Mutt because of McLame was just as totally absurd as your challenge to name five people who will vote for Gingrich because of Todd Palin. Or one fifth as absurd.
With Governor Palin, people really had Hope for the future and it showed with the people who were there to see her. When she decided to sit out the Election, none of the leftovers have been able to achieve that level of excitement, which is going to be a big problem going into November.
Even if she had decided to run and dropped out like Bachmann and Cain, we would have seen a completely different dynamic rather than the current race to the Left that we are witnessing.
Your last sentence cracked me up...
One can only dream.....
“...there is a man over there with a gun..... “
Uh, no. It’s “...There’s a man with a gun over there.
Take my advice, stick to the guitar parts. Leave the vocals to somebody else.
