Framing the Mississippi Senate primary as a "clear fight for the future of the Republican Party against the entrenched interests of the permanent political class in D.C.," former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin endorsed conservative Mississippi state Senator Chris McDaniel on Thursday in his upstart bid against six-term incumbent Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran, who admitted that he was unfamiliar with the Tea Party movement that has put the Washington establishment on alert.
"The Mississippi Senate race is a clear fight for the future of the Republican Party against the entrenched interests of the permanent political class in D.C. We desperately need new conservative leaders in the U.S. Senate who will serve with passion, intelligence, and integrity."
UPDATE: McDaniel told Breitbart News that Palin's endorsement will help him and his campaign "end the rule of the permanent political class in Washington, D.C.":
"Governor Sarah Palin's endorsement is very important in the state of Mississippi. We Mississippians are conservatives, and we share Sarah Palins passion for limited government, lower taxes, traditional values, and constitutional liberties. This is a grassroots movement driven by the people of Mississippi, so there's no question Gov. Palin's endorsement will help motivate people to get behind this campaign to end the rule of the permanent political class in Washington, D.C."

Taylor demonstrated his true colors when he voted for Pelosi for Speaker and the entire Democrat caucus erupted in rapturous applause for him.
I agree with you re: Taylor. I recall him saying back when he was in the House that he would feel as a whore were he to switch to the GOP. Well, I guess he’s a whore now. I hope that Palazzo beats him like a rented mule.
As for what tbe GOPe wants, I couldn’t care less. I hope that McDaniel beats Coxhran by enough of a margin that Cochran voters don’t become petulant and actually support the GOP nominee. But I don’t think that Cochran would retire early to have the governor name his replacement—Trent Lott was a special case (he wanted to make money lobbying, and thus had to quit by December 31), and I think that Cochran will stick around until the bitter end.
Here is the other half of that Letter I sent back to Roberts.
