When Sarah endorses someone in NH then we know Sarah is serious about running.

WOW!! Maybe it will give Branstad a boost but usually endorsements don’t mean much. I think he’s in fine shape without it but it’s nicer to have it than to not have it.

Carly Fiorina has been endorsed by the National Right to Life, the California Pro-Life Council, and the Susan B. Anthony List.

She is pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, pro-military, and pro-strict border security and against amnesty.

She is against Obamacare and will vote to repeal it and prevent the government takeover of private companies and industries.

Carly is also a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. Like me, she is a member of the NRA, has a 100% NRA rating, and she and her husband are gun owners.

She is pro-energy development and believes as I do in an all-of-the-above approach to energy independence.

She is against cap and tax. And most importantly, Carly is the only conservative in the race who can beat Barbara Boxer. That’s no RINO. That’s a winner.

- Sarah Palin

Good. I didn’t know that. Anyway, I support Palin, but I don’t worship her, and those who think we do are insulting.
And I believe that carly fiorina is a horrible candidate. Furthermore, anyone who thinks that we would vote purely on what Sarah says is also insulting.

I'm a big Palin backer, but Branstad didn't need her endorsement.

This race has been over for a while.

Hopefully, this will keep Terry neutral for 2012, and prevents Mitt from trying to purchase Iowa.

She is also pro-islam and has some questionable friends in that circle.

-—”And Palin is full of crap on that one.”-—

Agreed, should have been DeVore.

I have been told that DeVore never made an effort to contact her. This kind of baffles me. A preemptive, public “plea” would have likely - at worst - forced her to stay neutral.

At this point, however, DeVore needs Freeper support. Fiorina should not be a consideration until after the primary.

I don’t really care. What does that have to do with anything? She and her hubby would have backed hillary who is just obama only better known.

Shouldn't you be out working for DeVore? You need a big turnout of your Falcon Party (80% of its 20 members) to put Chuck over the top.

Without you campaigning, DeVore won't be within the “margin of error” (25 points of Fiorina).

“All or nothing gives you a Democrat”

Well said. It’s a lesson that conservatives are slow in learning which has, as noted in the current state of the Union, terrible, terrible consequences.

Not Correct with the pro islam.

but this is telling

DeVore said Al Qaida and the Taliban are not an existential
threat to the U.S.

Why is she endorsing all of these people? What’s in it for her?

Boy I wished I saved the post, let me re phase that. I need to find it.

Someone poster her 3 pronged strategy, but let us stay on point. In this case she is building a coalition. She is endorsing people that when legislation like a new tax system, energy, and cutting Gov't spending come their way they will vote "YEA".

Note, the 3 strategies might be these: She cut ties with the past (resigned due to the quick sand the tried to snare her in) charted a course for the future that is independent, and is speaking independently (of the RNC and Steele). She is reaching out to people through alternative media, going around the dominant like Reagan did, and she wrote a book to reach the masses and tell her tale. Now she is building coalitions.

Make no mistake she is a strategist and she is running.

Thank you for providing facts on the record of this candidate. I happen to appreciate hard, clear cut facts of a politician’s voting record and/or accomplishments (regardless of how long they held a position) which speak more clearly than any endorsement from any other political figure.
I find it sad that many on here would rather ignore a clear record of a Republican that demonstrated conservatism as well as leadership just to bash someone else. I sometimes wonder if it is clear to many conservatives just how truly successful the DNC and the LSM is in splitting conservatives or those who want to vote conservative over the God awful alternative... progressives (at the very least)

In Michigan, we call Hunter “Champ.” He beat out Brownback and Tancredo (both of whom had withdrawn by the time of the 2008 Michigan GOP primary).

Hunter actually finished 8th of 7 active candidates, losing out to “uncommitted” by a 7-1 margin.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_Republican_primary,_2008

But, Pissant will have plenty of time to work on Hunter's 2012 campaign after Tuesday.

Just look at all the RINOs endorsing him. Can you believe it?

Your ilk is why the GOP is called the stupid party.
