On Saturday night’s “Justice with Jeanine” on the Fox News Channel, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin once again stopped just short of giving former House Speaker Newt Gingrich her outright endorsement for the Republican nomination.
Palin explained that despite criticisms of Gingrich’s long career in Washington, D.C., she doesn’t consider him part of the establishment because that same “establishment” is trying too hard to keep him from becoming the nominee.
“How can he say he’s not part of the establishment?” Palin said. “Well, look at the players in the establishment who are fighting so hard against him. They want to crucify him because he has tapped into that average, everyday American tea party grassroots movement that has said ‘enough is enough’ of the establishment that tries to run the show and tweak rules and laws and regulations for their own good and not for our nation’s own good.”
“Well, when both party machines and many in the media are trying to crucify Newt Gingrich for bucking the tide and bucking the establishment that tells you something.”
Based on that, Palin told viewers to “rage against the machine” and to “vote for Newt.”
“And I say, you know, you’ve got to rage against the machine at this point in order to defend our republic and save what is good and secure and prosperous about our nation,” Palin continued. “We need somebody who is engaged in sudden and relentless reform and is not afraid to shake up the establishment. So, if for no other reason, rage against the machine, vote for Newt, annoy a liberal, vote Newt, keep this vetting process going, keep the debate going.”
Well, I don’t disagree with anything you say. I will be rooting for newt as my second favorite.
By God, you spelled his name right!

• Newt is the best candidateI wish she would have concluded when the appropriate time for Santorum to exit was.
• We need the forums to truly vet the candidates
• Voter will see through the Mittiot
• Santorum and Pauls arguments are necessary
• Dont allow the MSM/GOP-E to tell you $H
My transcription of the dialog:
Pirro: Geoff Cambell ask "Which candidate has the best chance of beating Obama?"Palin: Well I would answer "Which candidate, who, is most passionate about the sudden and relentless reform that's needed."
"Which candidate understands that government is not the answer"; not on the state level, say when it comes to mandating what level of healthcare you must purchase or on a national level.
And I think that comes down to who can articulate their ideas, their solutions best. And in a campaign where you articulate that is in a debate.
And I've appreciated, again, Newt Gingrich's, his, can, his, uh, style in debates, his um, his, his thinking, his, his way of explaining what is it that he stands for.
So I think that, in a debate, Newt Gingrich would clobber Barrak Obama.
And that's one step closer to the voters being able to have a tool to makeup their minds wheather it should be Barrak Obama or the GOP nominee.Pirro: Sounds like an endorsement to me Governor. Did you just endorse Newt Gingrich?
Palin: I've said, for many weeks now, I want to continue the process of the vetting…and in order to do that…The math…
Pirro: But you said he's the one who has the best chance of beating Obama.
Palin: Because the math is the math and the math is showing us…
Pirro: The math is that Obama, The math is that Mitt Romney is the strongest against Obama and even Santorum beats Newt in terms of the math.
Palin: And that's at this point without the vetting process continuing and without the, the debates continuing which I would like to see.
The math is the math, and the math shows us today that Romney and Newt are very close.
Now it says the pundits are telling us, those elites who want, the better of us, who want us to just obey them and listen to them, they who want to shut this down. If their telling us that…Pirro: Alright, up against a hardbreak…
We are talking about FLORIDA.
What happened in SC is irrelevant at this point.
If you support Santorum, you should be promoting GINGRICH in Florida right now. Because if Romney wins Florida, it will be virtually over, not just for Gingrich, but for SANTORUM as well.
So again, I ask:
Do you honestly not understand that a vote for Santorum in Florida is a vote for Romney?
You don't even need to respond, because it is obvious you do not understand the facts of the voting dynamic that is going on here.
Good job on missing the point. South Carolina is history. Done. In the past.
We are talking about FLORIDA.
What happened in SC is irrelevant at this point.
The polling was dead wrong in SC. Am I misunderstanding something that makes the polling spot on for FL?
You’re just not understanding, period. End of story.
