On Friday, former Alaska Gov. Palin went to Nebraska and endorsed businessman Pete Ricketts for governor in the state in which her endorsement has proven to be the gold standard.
Palin joined Kay Orr, Nebraska's former Republican governor whom Palin called the "original Mama Grizzly," to endorse to endorse Ricketts, whom Palin called the clear principled commonsense conservative choice in this race whose positions are clear: "he opposes amnesty and taxpayer funded benefits for illegal immigrants in any form and always has."
Palin said the "alternative is woeful dependency on an inevitable sinking ship I call 'Liberal Lunacy.'"
Palin has already endorsed senate candidate Ben Sasse in the state in which she proved in 2012 that former South Carolina Senator and Heritage Foundation President Jim DeMint was right when he said Palin's endorsement has the most impact in GOP primaries. As Breitbart News reported:
During the 2012 election cycle in Nebraska, the Republican establishment spent millions backing Jon Bruning, while Washington's conservative establishment, including Freedom Works, spent millions backing Don Stenberg. But after Palin wrote a 135-word Facebook post to endorse Deb Fischer, the then-unknown candidate suddenly had "momentum, buzz, and name identification" and rocketed to the top of the polls en route to wins in the primary and general election.

There Sarah goes again, only endorsing chicks /sarc
Go Sarah!
GOLLY. THIS MUST BE IMPORTANT.
It’s important to me.
Any particular reason you mock one of the only conservatives actually doing something positive? I would LOVE to see one Palin thread that didn’t resemble an MSNBC call-in. Just one.
Go Sarah go!!
She was in Fort Myers last week and even though the lib Naples Press tried their best to go after her and her choice Lizbeth Benacquisto it won’t work. Her picks are legendary and often win.Go Sarah go!!
It is you are not!
Nothing against Palin whatsoever. BUT WHY UPPER CASE? That’s my peeve. Now back to our regular programming.
Sarah is banking favors for the future.
Coulda been a bit clearer.
Breitbart’s article titles are in upper-case.
Unless you have the time to re-enter them, a cut-and-paste results in all caps.
Sarah is out there everyday promoting conservative principles and the candidates who best represent them. She does more to shine the light on little-known conservative candidates than anyone else on our side. I use her endorsements as a guide to who to donate money to.
I see from your posting history you do (not) seem opposed to a Palin run.
Just realize Palin rightfully garners quite a bit of support on this site.
Please think about that, before you post something seemingly critical of her.
You seem to support Paul. You would win over more for a Paul candidacy, by not mocking Palin.
Just saying.
I did not know that. Never mind......

Oh Pleez! Palin has just left GA where she was pushing a moderate woman candidate Karen Handel. Too bad she couldn’t support Dr. Paul Broun the true conservative in the race or just keep her nose out of it. I was thrilled to see she has moved on to Nebraska.
They ought to call her Shakespeare because all she does is make plays!
Definitely the wise approach.
I know some Republicans, honest, decent people, bigger frogs in a smaller ponds, and they actually give money to Mainstream Republicans, the same Republicans who take their money then ignore and disparage their conservative base, except for a gloss of empty words that obscure a policy of pathetic inaction or covert complicity with the Liberal Democrats.
Governor Sarah Palin is the voice for principled, constructive, courageous change.
When what she is doing with so many successful endorsements is coupled with her awesome fundraising capacity, she is a political party in all but name.
Her logo should be a cute, ferocious Mama Grizzly.
And, for what it is worth, Mr. Pete Ricketts has worked hard and paid for his own campaign, not sucking up either Corporate, bankster, or Union money.
Of course, the Boehner/Pelosi Republicans have and will continue to oppose Mr. Ricketts in any primary and may well run a Liberal Republican as an independent against him if he gets the nomination.
TWB

What if Sarah had been a democrat gov instead.....and no change in her policies or beliefs....she cleaned out a corrupt republican governor....how would the press have treated her????
Palin lends her support to candidates who actually have a chance at winning. Creationist nutball Broun is not one of these candidates. Palin was wise to endorse someone else.
