She cannot endorse - she is under contract with Fox News and is prohibited - by contract - from doing so.

In fact she is quite likely in hot water for for what she has said and posted already - that is 'tantamount' to endorsement.

She’s not prohibited from doing anything, but run herself if she’s on the air. She’s paid to give her opinion and commentary, but she won’t endorse because she respects Reagan’s 11th commandment. That used to be the norm for politicians, to not take sides in the primary.

Thanks for that info.

In that case, she should not have given the rationale that she just thought we should “keep it going.” I think that led to many people voting for Newt simply to “keep it going” and, by implication, see what happens, see how the candidates continue to roll out.

That meant that at least some people were not so much voting for Newt to be the nominee, but only voting for him to win SC or, even less, simply to “keep it going.”

In my view, Sarah Palin is the entire reason Newt Gingrich won South Carolina. But the motive she offered voters — to “keep it going” — may not have been the best (although initially I thought it was brilliant).

Then why is everybody else at Fox News campaigning on a daily basis for Mitt?

Please post the proof of this if you have it. If she can’t endorse, why would she constantly be asked if she was going to endorse on FOX by Hannity and others? Huckabee has also talked about whether or not he would endorse on FOX and said “probably not” and he’s a host, not a commentator like Sarah, who are often openly partisan on FOX. You’re just spreading misinformation here.
