Since you apparently haven’t caught on to the whole “google” thing yet. I have pasted an excerpt from the Mercury News for your viewing pleasure. It is intellectually dishonest for you to say, Palin never backed Whitman, when she publicly expressed a preference for Whitman, even if she didn’t use the words, “I endorse Whitman.”

SACRAMENTO, Calif.—Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has not yet endorsed a candidate in California’s race for governor, but she has made clear her preference for Republican Meg Whitman.
Appearing Friday at a forum hosted by the Sacramento Metro Chamber, Palin criticized California’s recently approved budget as an “unrealistic” attempt to close a $19 billion deficit.

Palin said the next governor “will have to make tough choices about spending cuts, and certainly—she—will be working in a bipartisan manner.” Palin emphasized the word “she” in her delivery.

It’s unclear whether Whitman, who would be California’s first female governor, would embrace a Palin endorsement.

She is not attending a Republican National Committee rally Saturday where Palin will be the headline speaker, saying she has campaign events elsewhere that day.

Right, the media ran some stories that week using the question of whether Palin “alluded” to supporting Whitman.

It never happened did it? That was on October 15, and nothing ever came of the weak speculation, Palin never supported nor endorsed Meg Whitman.
