Did you miss the first line of the excerpt? It says flat out it was an endorsement.

Maybe you're unhappy he endorsed someone other than your choice of candidate.

"Did you miss the first line of the excerpt? It says flat out it was an endorsement."

Here's the first line of the article:

Sarah Palin’s husband is endorsing Newt Gingrich for president, Todd Palin told ABC News today.

Notice how there is no quotations around that first line. Why? Because Todd never said it!! It's a summation of the article and very misleading. One of Sherlock Holmes favorite chidings of Dr. Watson is you see the same things I do, but you do not observe. I chide you with that. He may very well have meant it as an endorsement, but the article does not have quotes where he definitively is supporting Newt Gingrich. The article merely points out that he had some laudatory words for Newt. No endoresement. The article then goes on to take those laudatory remarks and expounds upon them. That's not a reporters job to make the news. It is to report it and by the remarks given, Todd Palin did not endorse him.
