Some of Sarah Palin’s riskiest endorsements scored major victories Tuesday for the former Alaska governor, showing off her power in Republican primaries.
Palin had four primary endorsements in play – Carly Fiorina, Nikki Haley, Terry Branstad and Cecile Bledsoe – and three won or moved on to a runoff.
Palin served different roles for each candidate – sometimes spotlighting conservatives not well known to the national scene while at others validating conservative credentials to an unsure grassroots and even stepping in to deflect nasty attacks.
Perhaps Palin’s most powerful demonstration came in South Carolina, where her endorsement propelled a major swing in the polls for Haley’s primary campaign for governor and sustained the state representative through accusations of two separate affairs.
"Her decision to get - and stay - involved in the race here in South Carolina was a huge boon to our campaign, because it caused a lot of South Carolinians to take a second look at a rising in the polls but once-little known state legislator who was fighting to give them back their government,” Haley spokesman Tim Pearson said of Palin.
Palin was quick to defend Haley from blogger Will Folks, who claimed to have had an “inappropriate physical relationship” with Haley, writing on her Facebook page that Folks was trying to “make things up.”
Palin recorded a robocall for Haley in the closing days, urging South Carolinians to ignore the “made-up nonsense.”(continued)

It's perfectly clear that by saying Reagan was impure, and that he signed an abortion bill, that 2ndDivisionVet is saying that at some point that Ronald Reagan supported abortion.
As to "be quiet", HAR! Make me quiet, you puss!
OMG! How can I live with myself now that “Yossarian”, a total stranger who I never have nor ever will meet, has called me a name on an anonymous conservative forum?
Woe is me!
What are you, 12?
Well, if you want to say that I'm a "nutcase" because I hold the ALMOST UNIVERSALLY HELD BY CONSERVATIVES BELIEF that Ronald Reagan was pure of heart, even in his mistakes, then go right ahead, you joke.
I view your insult as an indictment on yourself, and as saying nothing about myself.
Now, everyone else, pay attention: Look at how SoConPubbie is trying to tear down Ronald Reagan by implication and by half-truth. Look at what ugly perversions you have to go through to be ACTIVE supporters of these sketchy GOP candidates! (We may all have to become PASSIVE supporters of them, to knock communists like Boxer out.)
It’s a public service, so that others may know what value to put on your opinion.
I am overjoyed with the results of last night’s primary results. Yes, Sarah Palin was instrumental, in many cases, critical to the success of a number of “Tea Party”, conservative, Republican candidates, but more positives for people looking to undo America from the grip of failure, incompetent, socialist, communist, facist POTUS Barack Hussein Obama occurred last evening in the state of Arkansas. SEIU, George Soros, MoveOn.org and labor unions were destroyed in the Democrat Senate primary election runoff. The winner, Ms. Blanche Lincoln will be destroyed by Congressman John Boozman in November, but Ms. Lincoln and her Democrat vote sent a message to the far left, including POTUS Obama, who would not show his failure soul and body in the great state of Arkansas in support of Ms. Lincoln. He instead either sent Bill Clinton, or Clinton went to AR on his own to undermine the failing, useless, anti-American Obama while plotting Obama’s resignation or coming impeachment, as part of the Clinton plan to have Hillary Clinton installed as POTUS after the buffoon Obama is forced out of office. Ah, yes, yes, the winds of change are blowing and....if the Democrat Party has brains whatsoever, it will now openly move to dump POTUS Obama either by his own resignation or impeachment. Failure to do so will cause the Democrat Party to be destroyed politically at the upcoming, mid-term elections in November, 2010. The American voter, Democrat, Republican, Independent or Conservative has Obama’s number. Obama, with each passing day gets more and more politically radioactive. No Democrat wants to appear with this empty suit that has nothing but disdain for America and “all” Americans. I hope the Democrat Party, through last night’s primary election results clearly sees the handwriting on the wall!!! Obama must be broomed out of office, now by his own political party.
She's beating Obama by about 4-to-1. Why?

The hundreds of thousands that have read my threads and posts over the years know me, so you’re snide little list means less than nothing, and as to running to the teacher, go right ahead, it’s what I’d expect. As far as Carly vs. DeVore, I have no dog in that fight, I live in Mississippi, not California. Again, I worked for the president, and miss him like I miss my own father, so nothing you say will change my memories. His own son, Michael, thinks that Governor Palin is the new Ronald Reagan, but a few of her endorsements don’t pass your purity test and **poof** she’s a RINO! Let me guess, you’re a Huckabee fan, right?
But he was no more "pure conservative" than Sarah Palin. Pure is pure is pure. There is no 110%.
Tool.
;-/
Right. The White House is just full of them.
Tool.

Given time, they'll be as wise as you and me. 8^)
Stand easy, soldier. As you were.

Point out one place where I pass judgement on Sarah Palin in any of my posts here. You can't. I wasn't referring to her, AT ALL.
Your lie - AND IT IS A LIE BY IMPLYING HE SUPPORTED SOMETHING HE WAS PASSIONATE AGAINST- about Ronald Reagan passing an abortion law was all that I posted about. The "sketchy GOP candidate" I mentioned here is Carly Fiorina, not Sarah Palin.
Even the best politician is imperfect and has made wrong decisions. 2nd`s point was that no conservative pol is 9perfect, and if you`re looking for one, living or dead, who passes a litmus test perfectly, you will look in vain.
You might try showing some respect to a poster who is clearly conservative and intelligent; you might learn a lot from him, as I and countless FReepers have from his outstanding contributions to this site.
don’t you hate when a couple of poster take over a thread for their own personal remarks very unrelated to the post....get a blog kids
By using Reagan's signing of a bill involving abortion, as a way of saying that Reagan wasn't a "true conservative", is to totally go against the entire reasoning Ronald Reagan had in signing that law. It is a gross misrepresentation - otherwise known as a lie -as to Reagan's intent in this manner. Thus, since abortion is such a critical guideline to morality, it is a lie as to Ronald Reagan's character.
I see this very incorrect "line of reason" - put in quotes, as something filled with factual faults has no reason - sometimes being used to justify some other GOP politician's crass political maneuverings. We may have to do distasteful things to knock communists out of office, and we may only be able to make tiny baby steps to gain a foothold back - BUT WE CAN'T DO IT WITH SLANDER, ESPECIALLY NOT OF REAGAN.
Ronald Reagan was a human, and thus imperfect. BUT HE NEVER, EVER IN HIS POLITICAL LIFE SUPPORTED ABORTION.
It is clear you aren’t reading my posts, or lack the ability - at least right now - to comprehend the words contained in them.
Another "Palin is the third coming" thread! (Remember Obama is the "second")
