Ok, I am open to correction. Tell me then who would/should Sarah Palin endorse?
***
I think Palin will stay out of the race - at least until after the primary.
Mama Grizzly likes picking winners. If he were running a little bit closer, I could see her endorsing Fitzgerald - he's a small town, conservative guy. While Fitz is perhaps the most authentically across-the-board conservative candidate, he has no chance of winning the primary.
Hovde is the least GOP-e insider of the four candidates. And while that Hovde attribute might appeal to Palin, the fact that Hovde is highly self-funded will keep her away from an endorsement - at least until after the primary.
I strongly believe Sarah Palin will simply not offer an endorsement to Tommy or Neumann - even if either man wins the August 14 primary.
