Palin makes more endorsements


Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) has endorsed eight more GOP candidates on her Facebook page in the past week, including four today. On Oct. 21, Palin put her social-networking support behind Idaho Gov. Butch Otter (who's running for re-election), Sean Bielat (who's challenging Rep. Barney Frank in Massachusetts), Stephen Fincher (running for an open congressional seat in Tennessee), and Randy Hultgren (who's challenging Rep. Bill Foster in Illinois).

And today, she backed Dick Muri (challenging Rep. Adam Smith in Washington state), Rob Steele (taking on Rep. John Dingell in Michigan), Ilario Pantano (facing off against Rep. Mike McIntyre in North Carolina), and Chuck Wilkerson (who's challenging Rep. Henry Waxman in California).

Strikingly, fewer than half of these contests are competitive -- Fincher's race in Tennessee, McIntyre vs. Pantano in North Carolina, Foster vs. Hultgren in Illinois.

    Sarah Palin was just a political novelty for a quasi-state--eye candy for a small constituency. Why is the Media still giving her air time? Herrr opinion... come on, she's a loon!

      Why does Palin have a better track record for endorsing winners whereas Obama has been the kiss/hug of death. I think maybe because his policy has been a disaster and most Americans hate Obamacare.

              Palin endorsements??? Well there are a few more who are destined to lose, It seems having her endorsement is a political death punch to anyone running for any office.

              Another batch of losers to watch sink into the muck they created themselves this week.

                The Democratic base consists mostly of paid union operatives financed by forced union dues, and welfare recipients looking for more Obamabucks. The degree of resentment among unionized workers is rising sharply, however, as Frank Luntz will detail on Thursday night. Scott Brown won more than 50% of union voters in Blue Massachusetts.

                The more Obama and the radicalized Democrat Party attempt to "fundamentally transform the United States of America" against the will of the people, the more they will run into this principled opposition from those who stand against this socialistic takeover. The modus operandi among Democrats is to control the party, the group, the union, the nation by controlling their group apparatus and sources of money and turn it to their political advantage. Thus voters are all forced to subsidize state government employee salaries that pay the dues of unionized employees, that go into union coffers, that fund Democrat candidates who vote for pro-union policies in state government. Without that corrupt cycle of coercion, Democrats could not survive politically. It's why even FDR argued that public employees should not be allowed to unionize.

                  Bill Clinton is a perfect spokesman for the Democratic Party--self-serving political hack without an ounce of integrity, yet so consumed with protecting his excuse for a legacy that he sends Sandy "Socks" Burger to the National Archives to steal official documents that incriminate him for his failure to protect the nation prior to 9/11. He joins the Obamanation in leading the Democratic Party over the political cliff. Like many in the Democratic Party on both the state and local level, they place party identification above all and mindlessly follow their leaders over this political cliff of statism and fiscal irresponsibility. With Hillary in Austria, I'm surprised Bill didn't bring along Monica.
