National Review: Palin to endorse Doug Hoffman in NY-23 Race?

National Review ^

[Clyde5445]

It was something like a crowd of 20,000 in June.

this could get very interesting...

Palin could make such an easy speech for Hoffman:

"I want to thank all of you Doug Hoffman supporters who turned out today. I loved the response you gave this Alaskan when I visited your lovely state over the summer to honor another great New Yorker, Governor, Senator, and Secretary of State William H. Seward.

"I know many of you remember how Alaska was once mocked as 'Seward's Folly.' But we showed them how important Alaska is to this great nation. Now, many in New York, and in Washington, were thinking that Doug's campaign was going to be 'Hoffman's Folly,' but who's laughing now?

"I ask each of you here today to support Doug Hoffman. Give Doug Hoffman the honor of representing you in Washington. And, who knows, maybe Doug and I will have the opportunity to work together some day soon to take back our great country.

"I endorse Doug Hoffman for Congress!

"Thank you, and God bless the United States of America."

Please...she’s certainly waiting until it was safe to do so.

Not really, because Scozzafava's positions (and the race) didn't become known until just about a week ago.

While I very much disagree with your assessment of Palin, I very much agree with your assessment of how much trouble we are in. I never dreamed we would see our country wrecked like it is now and going down so fast I don't know if we can save it. When I was young my Dad said there was one thing wrong with the country. People who take from the government have the same vote as he did. He said that one day 51% would be takers and once that happened, you could never win another election without giving the takers something, and it would be down hill from there.

I think we are there now, and it scares me. It really sacares me for my kids that are in their early 20s.

She better because she is still throwing her lot behind a 3rd candidate

Hoffman is a registered Republican who will caucus with Congressional Republicans. He's about as 3rd party as Mike Pence.

>> A tad late, but not too late.

I think allowing the GOP enough time to puke on itself before stating her position is a good thing.

[9YearLurker]

I don’t think she’d have affected the GOP’s stance either way, just would have got a few more points for being a leader speaking out. But I hope she makes a campaign appearance for him soon.

I have not read any of the comments below your post, but can say that her endorsement just showed up on my facebook page! YEAH SARAH!!!

[Mama Shawna]

I just LOVE that pic. Stole it quite some time back. Might make a t-shirt out of it, just to drive my lib friends crazy as 2012 gets closer. wonder what would happen if I wore something like that to one of my Graham Cracker gigs here in the Puget Sound? HAHAHAHA!

“The so called GOP leadership will be working double time to ask her to not endorse anyone rather than endorse the non-RINO.”

A very big mistake for them – that would be like waving a red cape at a Baracuda.

[MNlurker]

EEE I get it. She’s backing the principled Republican in this race. Until the last week he was a third party candidate whether we liked the designation or not.

It was the right time for her to endorse and I’m thrilled she did it. Let the civil war truly begin!

I agree with you 100 percent. I think that we all really just need to pray...God Bless you and best of luck to you and your family.
