Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has endorsed Roy Moore in the Alabama U.S. Senate race over establishment-backed Luther Strange, an endorsement Palin and Moore’s campaign provided to Breitbart News ahead of its public release.
Palin’s endorsement of Moore—the former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court—ahead of the Sept. 26 runoff is a huge momentum booster for the conservative candidate as he extends his commanding lead in the polls over Strange.

At least the governor is smart enough to back the right horse.
Crossing Trump. Was that necessary?
I guess she wasn’t happy she wasn’t picked for a cabinet post.
Great.......Judge Roy Moore wins the runoff in a landslide victory, and then wins the special senate election!!!
Reno89519, there’s a typo in your user name. You substituted an “e” for the “i”.
Sara made a good endorsement here. President Trump will approve!
Isn’t Moore the better candidate? I thought he was, but I haven’t looked into the candidates all that much ...
Come on grasshoppers! Moore will win. Sarah should confine herself to ornament status.
Is that why Most FReepers voted for Governor Sarah instead of RINO McCain-with-no-shame ?
To just be an "ornament" ? And not fight the Swamp and Deep State in Washington D.C. like she did in Juneau, Anchorage and Fairbanks, Alaska?
Was Sarah Just and "ornament" back in 2009 and 2010 when She endorsed so many Tea Party/ grassroots citizens running for legislative office all across these Deplorable states?
And speaking of Moore, is his only claim to fame his stand on the 10 Commandments? Is that all that was needed to get people supporting him? That's all I've heard about him, so now we get the competing endorsements.
Without further information, I'll stick with Trump's endorsement.
Doubt she is crossing Trump. I’m betting Trump’s endorsement is a half-hearted political play, maybe to curry favor with the Turtle on a Senate vote later.
She has done nothing since resigning in 09’. Sideline stuff only. Take out the other Murkowski THEN be taken seriously.
In my opinion, Trump endorsed Strange as some sort of payoff to McConnell. Don’t know for what. Strange will be a McConnell minion. Moore will not. And we need more men in the Senate who will battle McConnell.
Palin knows how to drain a swamp.
“Crossing Trump. Was that necessary?”
Is Moore not the better candidate? Was Trump possibly misinformed when he endorsed Strange?
Yes, it was necessary. Just because you support someone doesn’t mean you support EVERY single thing they say or do
Leave that to the automatons..
Here’s a youtube tribute to Roy Moore from Judy Rogers. It will do more to explain Roy Moore than anything you’re going to read here. And tell you why the Establishment fears him.

Thanks I’ll check it out as soon as I get a stable enough internet connection.
Do not presume that Luther Strange is without a sizable stable of voters that shall jump to his side if needed. The primaries in Alabama are strange entities, in that Democrats may cross over, regardless of party designation, and cast their vote on the Republican side, which may just work out to be enough to tilt the primary to his direction. I realize there is also a Democrat running for this office, but of course, they are very much in a minority position now, and they may not see a vote for Luther Strange to be against their better interests.
