Why is she endorsing all of these people? What’s in it for her?
Pooh on her shoe, lately.
No...He was way ahead anyway in the Primary and it’s obvious now that she is running for President, just like SC (Nikki Haley) NM (Martinez)...this is positioning to gain support in these crucial Primary states and block Mitt or Huckabee form major gains in those contests
I half expected Terry Branstad to be a female, what with all the “Girl Power” she’s been throwing around lately. But, I see that this Terry is indeed a male.
The Republican Party of Iowa used to be defined by its moderates and pragmatists, said former Lt. Gov. Joy Corning. Republican Govs. Robert Ray and Terry Branstad helped the party hold on to Terrace Hill for nearly 30 years, she said, but now many who consider themselves centrist Republicans feel abandoned.

I am very very happy to let Sarah be Sarah.
Me too. Glad she’s showing her true colors.
My condolences.
Sarah made the right decision. Vander Plaats ran twice for the Governorship - in 2002 and 2006 - and lost both times. Once again we have 3 candidates in the field and only Branstad has the money and name recognition to compete. And he’s a solid conservative.
These Huckbots trashing Sarah Palin have no credibility. How often do we have to point this out? Mike Huckabee and Bob Vander Plaats are NOT conservatives.
Frankly, I don't think Palin's endorsement means much, just like most endorsements don't mean much but I categorically reject the idea that BVP is more conservative than Branstad.
Branstad happens to be more honest.
He’s not exacly an obscure figure - he was governor for 16 years, from 1982 to 1998.
The poll have Branstad, 44 % Vander Plaats, 29%
The idea is for the best Conservative to beat the Democrat.
Branstad is the obvious choice unless some want the Democrat to win.
My take is she`s making deals with the REPUBLICRAT establishment to save her sorry POLITICIAN`S ass. But its best she shows her real self before she, like her Republicratic friends, can do too much damage. Lets hope the masses recognize there is little more than a politician here.
Of course not. Neither is Chuck DeVore or JD Hayworth.
You darned right Branstad is a solid conservative. Who knows what BVP is? You can’t believe him. He’s running on a slogan of “Leadership” and when you get to examining, he’s never successfully led anything. He’s been given a free pass.
How about very bad advice from someone who wiggled their way into her life that she trusted? Like the guy who runs her PAC. Greta Van Susteren’s husband.
