Two years ago, John McCain transformed Sarah Palin overnight from an obscure first-term Alaska governor into a national celebrity when he picked her as his vice presidential running mate.
Now Palin is repaying the favor, putting her prestige on the line in an effort to help the four-term Arizona senator overcome his toughest re-election challenge ever.
The two campaigned together Friday for the first time since they lost the presidential race in 2008.
At the first of two rallies this weekend, Palin pumped up Tea Partiers, invoking the cause of the first Tea Party in 1773.
"Remember it was the Freedom Fighters and those who protested tyranny and big government," she said. "And that's what we're doing today."
"And when you think about that first Tea Party, shoot, some may claim that John was there, at the first Tea Party," she said with a laugh, poking fun at McCain's age. McCain, who is 73, grinned widely beside her.

Did you write that with a straight face? Do you even know what you said?
That you can mutually exclude the two is preposterous.
You just combined two incompatible anti-Palin charges.
The “Palin can’t be taken seriously” charge is put forth by the moderate RINOs, many of whom voted for Obama.
The “Palin is bad because she supports McCain” is held by conservatives blinded by tunnel-vision.
If you combine them, it appears you might have another agenda.
There, fixed it.
LOL!
RE :”Can’t McCain study the words of Douglas McArthur and “JUST FADE AWAY!”’
Didnt Truman fire DM over Korean war regarding China? I just saw that 1977 docudrama McArthur again (about 50 times) a couple of weeks ago. One of my favorites.
Maybe McCain has to be fired too... just a thought.
Yup, and even if there is an arguable reason for quitting it doesn't sell well. Americans don't like quitters. You can fail and try again, but you can't quit.
As for Eric Cantor; I like him very much. his fatal flaw vis a vis electability is that he is Jewish. America is generations away from electing a Jewish POTUS, especially a conservative one.
American elected an adherent of the obamunist religion...I wouldn't be deterred by someone being Jewish. Although perhaps some might.
As you said, it is early yet...
It is indeed. But let me entice you with an entertaining thought for a moment...picture a presidential debate between Obama and Cantor.
I've heard that Ryan has endorsed McCain, but I have not confirmed that and if true, I don't know if it was for the current race or if it was for the '08 presidential race.
On illegal immigration, while Ryan voted correctly on the big anti-amnesty bill in 2005, he has voted for several smaller amnesties and he has voted for sanctuary policies for illegal aliens.
If I remember correctly, Bachmann supported Obama's increase in FDA control bill several months back and she received some tough criticism here for that vote.
And of course next week, Bachmann, who has asked for Sarah to help her in Minn., will be fraternizing with your new public "enemy", Sarah Palin.
Both Bachmann and Ryan as well as Palin, Coburn, DeMint and Pence, big fat warts and all, are still on my "A" list...until the perfect candidate comes along.
And, to think that "reasonisfaith" actually posted this to someone else: "Slow down, or you’ll spin yourself into a delirium!"
Why are you such an a**h**e? Everything you do is twisted nonsense.
I guess you know a lot about me. I don’t think you are correct in your assessment.
Your opinions on SP are every bit as informed as knowledge of my donation patterns.
So predictable. You guys crack me up.

IMO America elected a smooth talking dream as a rebellious act against daddy (middle-aged, white Christian males) not an openly muslim person.
No Jewish candidate could win but not just because of inherent anti-semitism alone. The ME is the powder keg upon which the world sits. The US has been the only power that has been able to keep it from exploding. Election of a Jewish POTUS would kill that, leaving the way open for a greater arab led jihad against Isreal and its openly "Jewish" partner, the USA.
The principles are what Palin ultimately supports, and they don’t change. Get it?
You would think in a country of over 300 million people....oh, never mind ;-)
Uh, oh...when Bachman makes a mistake who will be left?
A very good point made on another thread—any criticism against Palin for supporting McCain today, if sincere, should have been used when she accepted his nomination of her in 2008.

Anyone here who has been consistent, show your posts from 2008. Otherwise, you’re either suffering from tunnelvision or you’re an outright socialist.
Our future (not too far off) Great Leader will be the ultimate JEW-—JESUS.
Sarah Palin has compromised herself!
