Link on the Republicans asking her not to endorse them? Because I probably post 60% of the Palin threads here and I've never heard that.
What I read during campaign season was that GOP candidates in blue or purple districts were avoiding Palin and any association with her. Now nobody's going to actually come out and say don't show up, because this will get the Palin supporters to vote against that guy. But the vibe is basically that Palin is toxic in certain districts and her support would actually undermine the GOP candidates running there because it would suppress GOP turnout while raising Democratic turnout. You could say that these districts are full of RINO's, and you would be right. But without RINO pols in RINO districts, we have no House majority.
