You can bet your bottom dollar there are ‘back channel’ if not direct talks between SP and NG. It may be that they realize he’s controversial enough on his own and doesn’t need more controversy that an SP endorsement would bring. IF SP came out and endorsed him, it would take up several news cycles with the emphasis on her instead of him. They are both quite politically savvy, and I trust they know full well what they are doing.
Yes, but at this point Palin has gone so far in endorsing Newt without saying so, that it’s getting to be a little weird.
What I mean is they are going to end up with the synergistic controversy anyway at this rate, so why not just make an honest, forthright endorsement.
(One freeper mentioned she was bound by contract not to endorse, but another said that wasn’t true. FWIW.)
