Why does there always have to be a hidden purpose when someone goes against the grain of the establishment? If she had voted for Romney or Santorum, this wouldn’t even be an issue. Could Sarah Palin have simply voted for Gingrich because she likes what she sees and hears from him? If Newt gets any bump from this, I will bet that Santorum openly diminishes Palins importance and credibility. What you want to bet?
I don’t take sucker bets like that one. Milt, Ricky and Wrong would all denigrate Reagan or Washington if it’d get them 100 votes.
Since Santorum has dissed Palin in the past, that is a sound wager.
