Please Sarah endorse and campaign for Kelly Ward.

I expect that Sarah will stay out of this entirely, as I think she should. Fair or not, if she endorses McCain's opponent the media will hype this up as her betrayal of McCain, along with the fact that McCain gave lukewarm support of Trump by defending him against the #nevertrump GOP establishment, so in that sense he remained an ally of Palin who has been on outspoken in support of Trump.

And while such a media portrayal as a "betrayal" may not adversely affect either you or me, I think it could significantly harm Palin both in AZ and elsewhere with a sufficient number of voters so that, putting aside the loyalty question, as a practical matter, the possible benefit is not worth the likely consequence.
