Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has endorsed Karen Handel for U.S. Senate in Georgia. Palin made the announcement on her Facebook page, citing a quotation attributed to Margaret Thatcher: "If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman." Handel, the former secretary of state and an unsuccessful candidate for governor in 2010, is in a five-way GOP primary for the Senate seat currently held by retiring Republican Saxby Chambliss.

Handel has found herself locked into an effective tie with most of the other Republican candidates, although businessman David Perdue has been ahead in two recent polls, while Jack Kingston, a congressman from Savannah, is polling around second place. The other contenders for the nomination are congressmen Paul Broun and Phil Gingrey.
Palin noted the importance of the race for Republicans in her endorsement of Handel. "This Georgia Senate race is very important to the Democrats and has long-term repercussions for 2016 as Democrats test the waters to see if they can win big in a red state with a woman candidate," Palin wrote. "That is why the GOP needs a strong contender like Karen Handel. She is the conservative candidate who can win this race and hold this seat for the GOP."
In an editorial for the latest issue of THE WEEKLY STANDARD, Fred Barnes notes Handel and Kingston are both candidates that would be "tough to beat" for the strong Democratic candidate, Michelle Nunn.

“I’m not going to go up there and tell you I’m going to repeal Dodd-Frank,” Perdue at the Coweta Republican Party’s breakfast in January, according to a YouTube video posted by the organizers. “I will tell you I’m going to fight to amend it. And to do that, I think I can find some Democratic senators who will join in with logic and be led into a reasonable solution.”
“That’s the only way out of this box frankly,” he added.
At this point in the primary, the three GOP lawmakers who are also running, Rep. Paul Broun, Rep. Jack Kingston and Rep. Phil Gingrey, are on the right on just about every issue.
If anything, they have each tried to emphasize their anti-establishment bona-fides and their commitment to halting a Democratic agenda in Washington.
Unlike Perdue, all three of them have vowed to repeal Dodd-Frank, which has been on the books for nearly four years.
The ringleaders opposing Boehner’s amnesty were Cruz, Bachmann and white men including Broun, King, Stockman, Gosar, Brooks and others.
Jenkins, Wagner, Ellmers, McMorris, Ileana are all RINOs and have made pro amnesty comments. Marsha Blackburn was totally clueless and thought they should go to conference by some form of magic come out with an enforcement bill.
Only Deb Fischer has seriously opposed amnesty so far.
Broun is not Akin. Saxby Chambliss and Gingrey are Akin.
Broun has the only answer to the abortion question. The babies are all viable.
Michelle Nunn has no opinion on gun control and no opinion on Obama not funding the Port of Savannah.
Is Palin trying to say some others in the race are unelectable?
“Listen to what Karen says in her debates and candidate forums, and you’ll hear a true conservative leader who can win in November. “
I thought she told Erickson at Redstate that Saxby is her friend and she doesn’t want to comment on his voting record.
Democrats aren’t going to run ads on abortion. They will run elitist ads on evolution and Charles Darwin will block Nunn having any small chance of getting 50%.

“I am extremely disappointed that House Republican leadership chose to include language to subject some unborn children to needless pain and suffering. I will not support legislation that harms innocent children, and I will continue in my efforts to protect all unborn children by making abortion illegal at all stages of pregnancy.”
Is any voter group except white men more responsible for turning Georgia into a red state?
I asked her on my radio show about Saxby Chambliss’ voting record and she immediately diverted attention from the question and said she’s good friends with Saxby and that we just happen to disagree. Her attacks on all the other opponents for the most part are Mickey Mouse. She’s making a big deal about trips being made overseas and other non-issues.

They were in a very bad spot for a few days. My father called Paul Broun’s office. Paul Broun contacted the Embassy and in a matter of hours everything was resolved and they were on their way home.
Paul Broun is the real deal folks. I had a chance to talk with Daniel Horowitz of the Madison Project on why they are endorsing Paul Broun.
IF Dodd Frank was our biggest issue then I would be with you. I like Broun but I do not long time politicians no matter what they espouse. Sick and tired of Kingston and his long term spend thrift ways. Handel is a light weight pure and simple and has no strength of conviction at all.
I don’t know that much about Perdue and am learning more about him. I know he wants to repeal Ocare and cut spending. That’s a good starting point for me. Not saying I will vote for him but I don’t hate him either
The truth is that abortion is the number ten priority for most conservatives and failure to recognize that or to deny the reality of it is not the behavior of a rational being.
fyi My number one priority is REDUCING THE SIZE, SCOPE AND CONTROL OF GOVERNMENT. My priorities generally follow the conservative priority list that I copied from the web. I would also add getting rid of gun control is high up for me too, but that didn't make the top ten at all.
So while in summary I oppose abortion it is NOT my number one priority.
What is Akin?
I disagree. She simply hasn't STATED her opinion gun control. I can guarantee you she's 100% for it.
On Braun, of the existing politicians he's probably the most conservaticve, but he's fading in the polls due to the believable message of Purdue - namely that the existing politicians have all been there a long time, and no matter what they say things have gone from bad to worse. SO why re-elect them.
She is sounding increasingly feminist, esp. for a Christian, with a husband that i never hear about.
It certainly must, but it will never happen without social conservatism. As Robert Winthrop (May 12, 1809 – November 16, 1894), and Speaker of the House from 1838 to 1840, and later president of the Massachusetts Bible Society, explained,
“Men, in a word, must necessarily be controlled, either by a power within them, or by a power without them; either by the Word of God, or by the strong arm of man; either by the Bible or the bayonet."
We are not as in times past, when because of vibrant Christian faith,
McGuffey Readers became the standardized reading text for most schools across the United States, especially throughout the West and South, during the mid to late nineteenth century,[22] [23] and were used widely in America until just after World War I. This resulted in the Readers becoming a unifying force in American culture, giving America a common value-laden body of literary reference and allusion,[24] and “a sense of common experience and of common possession”.[25]
By 1890, schools nationwide saw 95 percent of children between the ages of five and thirteen enrolled for at least a few months out of the year, though less than 5 percent of adolescents went to high school, and even fewer entered college.
In addition, while there existed thousands of local schools, nearly one thousand colleges and universities (of varying quality), and scores of normal schools with trained teachers, education was largely locally managed, as the federal bureau of education, while collecting information about the condition of education, possessed no control over local schools. Education agencies on the state level were small, and its few employees had little or no power over local school districts. School systems in large cities could also function with little oversight, such as in Baltimore, where the public schools in 1890 employed only two superintendents for the entire district of 1,200 teachers.
Despite the lack of centralized administration, public schools across America were notably similar, with children learning both the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic, and the basics of good behavior – the latter being enforced when necessary by corporal punishment. Schools were important community institutions, and reflected the values of of parents and churches, such as honesty, industry, patriotism, responsibility, respect for adults, and courtesy. Memorization, recitation, chants and rhymes were often used in teaching subjects, while solving mathematical problems in one's own head was promoted. http://www.astorehouseofknowledge.info/w/Education_in_the_United_States
Look, if you want to join the “sisterhood” or whatever, and dismiss white men as the problem, that’s up to you. Go ahead and do so. But it’s a sickening and quite liberal point of view for a conservative to have.
Maybe in addition to female candidates, you can find a few pet blacks and Hispanics, and you won’t have to mess with those crackas again.

Geezuss
Wow
I know I know....don’t criticize her here
But I’m over it all you guys can stick to your hero worship
Enough already
Bttt
I had my say.....shes pretty and fairly conservative.....and gives inspiring speeches
But her steady girl power diatribes are done
I thought she had her chance in 2012
She will not be GOP nominee anytime soon
No matter the love she gets from many here...including me once
There is at least one better choice.....Theodoric the Texcuban
Its just the world we inhabit
PC platitudes drip from the tongues of even the most well intended these days
I’m voting for Purdue in the primary. It is past time we sent a non-politician to DC.
Kay Bailey Hutchison would disagree with that.
Bingo!
Theodoric the Texcuban.....classic beyond doubt
Moving on
