This is what the Tea Party is all about. Voting out the RINO’s picked by the GOP establishment. It started in upstate New York and continues.

That's STILL not an official endorsement, pissant.
Palin was acknowledging that Norton was among the women who represented her Pink Elephants.

When you call out a person by name as one of your Pink(o) elephants, that sounds like an endorsement to me.
