Why does anyone listen to Erick Erickson? Governor Palin said IF she was in South Carlolina she’d vote for Gingrich - but the reason she would is so that this process of all these guys staying in and going forward. She wasn’t endorsing Gingrich - she was endorsing the fact that these men left in are sharpening their positions, which is to the VOTER’S benefit. She is in favor of the Primary Process continuing, she’s not picking someone to endorse. She made that abundantly clear to Hannity. Evidently is was too clear, and too far above the head of Erickson, who did nothing since last summer but pimp Perry.
You seem to have an agenda.
Gov. Palin said she conditionally would vote for
Speaker Gingrich.
The backstabber, porn peddler, dog abuser Romney
should drop out.
Todd endorsed Newt. You think Sarah won’t? I can’t see that happening.
No one is listening to Erickson. Palin did endorse Newt Gingrich in SC's primary, no question about it. Her comment "if I was voting in SC, I'd be voting for Newt" is her way of telling South Carolina supporters of her to back Newt. Her comment about further vetting of the candidates means we need to prevent Romney from getting the nomination if we are to have any chance of rescinding Obama/Romneycare.
Not quite. Presumably the process would go forward just as well if Santorum or Perry won in SC, or Paul for that matter. So that fact that of all the non-Romneys she mentioned Newt should tell you something.
Maybe not a 100% endorsement, but it’s pretty close, and it’s much more of a nod towards him than any of the others. Throw in that her husband already endorsed Newt, and it’s even closer. Do you really see her endorsing someone else?
I don’t know why she went halfway last night but I’d think if Newt wins SC that she’d endorse him before FL and possibly do some events.
Perhaps Rudy and Cain could follow suit, they’re still big names in FL.
It would really set things up as a showdown. Romney and the establishment(Bush41, Jeb Bush, Dole, McCain, Christie, Hunstman, Murkowski, etc...)on one side. Newt and the base/tea party(Palin, Cain, etc...) on the other.
Would certainly be an exciting 10 days.
