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.
Palin SarahII
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.

Easy to find on the web. So while you abortion warriors engage in reverse perastalsis, the REALITY that you deny is that abortion only makes it to number ten on the list.
Moral of the story - don't tell the truth to fanatic wack jobs, they'll hate you for it.
Until God is at the top, they will see it continue to maddeningly slip away.
Geez, Sarah...Kelley Ayotte didn’t teach you anything, did it?
But that's not the issue, as you well know and are trying to scurry away from. To say you are sick of old white men, to base your vote on sex or race, and to somehow view women candidates as a superior species is pathetic, stupid, and as far from conservatism as you can get.
Own it.
Yes he is. He was my Congressman and I voted for him - once.
When he pulled that 'free toll weekend' for GA 400 when it had paid for itself and was supposed to be gutted and made free, I sh!t a brick. He saw the light and changed his tune, but didn't change is RINO heart. He was just looking at the money, damn him. He doesn't get my vote again.
And, that is the problem.
OWN IT!
I think his approval of Dodd-Frank was a deal-breaker. He’s the only candidate in the race who has said he would not repeal it.
Look at some of our picks for Supreme Court have turned us into a socialist nation, then maybe I can come down harder on Palin for a couple of candidates she endorsed that went South.
Let the cymbals be sounded and proclaim that Cathrine is officially PO'd at Sarah Palin. Herefore all Palin Threads must contain a disclaimer proclaiming that CathrineTheArrogant objects to any positive comments on any Palin thread.
I know for a fact, "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" :~)
Better yet, let the trumpets announce that itsahoot gets his/her panties in a twist over the slightest criticism of Sarah, and makes logical flights of fancy in which criticism = hate/PDS/"no positive comments" (what does that mean, anyway)?
---Told you that himself did he?
He has told you as well, up to you whether you care or not. Conservatives do care, Libertarians, not so much.
Abortion warriors? Are you not?
Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-constitution, pro-America. The God-given right to life is a big deal here and we don’t see it as a backwater issue.
No right to life, no right to liberty!
You are spelling it wrong to start with.... His name is David Perdue
I don’t recall him addressing Dodd Frank specifically....and I am putting money on that the others wouldn’t even know what it was let alone whether they would repeal it.
He has said he thought the GM bail outs were not good but he thought that the bail out for Wall Street had some merits....That is hardly a bit of screaming support for Dodd Frank. I know of no one who has been asked if they would vote to repeal if given the opportunity.
I agree. Nathan Deal is all about the Federal dollars that is why he is so adamant about Common Core. It comes with a lot of money. He could care less that its terrible education.
