Kevin Gass, a volunteer traveling on the Daggett campaign bus, heard the incorrect Palin item, assumed that it was true and twittered about it from the Daggett campaign bus.
“I could not make this up,” tweeted Gass. “Sarah Palin just asked Chris to pull out of race. Republicans getting scared much?”
It turned out that Palin, who endorsed third party conservative Doug Hoffman over liberal Republican Dede Scozzafava in the 23rd congressional district of New York, had not called on Daggett to leave the New Jersey governor’s race. All she had done in an Oct. 27 Facebook post is urge voters to back Chris Christie, the Republican candidate, over Jon Corzine, the incumbent Democratic governor, and to give money to the Republican Governors Association.
“It seemed plausible, even though it was inaccurate, because [Rudy] Giuliani and other big Republicans have asked him to drop out,” said Johnson.
Did they really do this? First Dede, now this - what are they doing?
In her post, Palin suggested that Daggett pack it in, and she was right. Daggett needs to let go and deal with the future, because this isn’t his race.
That's the problem right there. It's just not plausible
If Sarah Palin never even asked Svozzafava (a nominal Republican) to pull out of her race, why on earth would she demand that Daggett, who appears to be some kind of idiot, pull out?
inaccurate = I lied in Dem speak.
I never believe a THING anyone says in the days preceding an election.
I misunderstood, I thought they were saying they had asked Chris Christie to drop out.
This is what happens when you deal with someone who is honest! Ie...Palin would never say such things and deny it unless she actually said it, (if she said it - she is too honest and would say so), but of course the untruths always fly faster than the truth.
Too bad that she had to deny these type of phony attacks.
Why did you post that you misunderstood something? Are you connected to the article or just a reader?
