I missed Forbes. And now Santorum. This is getting interesting.

Did you notice the order of the list.....Madame President, then the others.... seems like a trend is developing

I noticed that. But the reality is that several of the others endorsed Hoffman before Palin. Some were on with Hoffman a week or more before Palin.

Where Sarah Palin leads, the others will follow.

Many have “followed’ in advance of Palin. Fred Thompson, Dick Armey, Michelle Bachmann all endorsed Hoffman before Palin did.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad Sarah made the endorsement. But she wasn’t the trailblazer here.

Though her facebook post endorsing Hoffman went beyond just endorsing Hoffman. She is calling for Conservatives to take back the Republican party and make it actually stand for conservative principles. She is trying to take a leadership role on that front.

Has everyone seen this: “The Most Important Number in Politics Today.” Still, the Democrat is way ahead of everyone in fund raising in this important race in upstate New York.

Doug Hoffman is the Conservative alternative in this race (or Hoffman by PayPal).

Markos Moulitsas, founder of The Daily Kos has endorsed Scozzafava. Dede Scozzafava has also been endorsed by NYSUT, the largest labor union in New York, and an affiliate of the National Education Association.

Scozzafava also holds these positions:

• Pro choice
• In favor of gay marriage
• In favor of Employee Free Choice Act (and has said she would co-sponsor Card Check legislation)
• In favor of the Stimulus
• In favor of Bank Bailouts

Scozzafava has also run in past elections on the Working Families Party (a progressive party associated with ACORN) line on the ballot.

This lady isn’t a RINO, she is a big “R” libeRal democRat. Mark Steyn has coined the term DIABLO for her and others like her. Democrat In All But Label Only.

There are also at least 17 unprincipled DIABLO enablers in the house who have donated funds or otherwise supported to this LibeRal democRat's DIABLO’s campaign. They include Boehner, Cantor, Sessions, Hensarling, Brown-Waite and McCotter. I don’t have a full list, but I will be looking for it. These unprincipled enablers should be targeted for elimination in the primaries next year.

Also, perhaps those of us who donated to the RNC or RCCC should ask for our money back so we can support the conservative candidates of our choice.

Gingrich Joins Cantor’s Effort To Remake GOP

Thank you for the clarification.

Have to admit, I wasn’t really following this until Palin weighed in. How in the hell can Gingrich endorse THAT?

[tioga]

The article states that after Palin’s endorsement he got $100,000 in endorsements with in days....pretty powerful stuff. That’s lots of little “republicans” who listen to her and opened their wallets.
