Does Sarah's Vote For Newt Constitute an Endorsement?
The Daily Caller ^ | 03/06/2012 | Jeff Poor

Palin tells Fox News Neil Cavuto “I knew you were going to ask me that, and I am just the poorest politician-sounding pundit,” Palin said. “It is tough for me to spin out of a question like that when it comes from a Fox reporter. If it comes from another reporter, I can spin out of it. Since it came from you, I will tell you, I won’t sound like a politician and I will tell you who I voted for tonight.”

Palin laid out her criteria in her decision.

“I considered who can best bust through the Orwellian Obama rhetoric that we heard more of today in Obama’s press conference talking about another insolvent and unconstitutional bailout that has no funds to finance — another program that he wants to kind of forced down our throat. Who can best bust these ideas of America never taking steps towards energy independence and we have the natural resources here and can do it, and who can best bust through that radical left dispensation and desire to mistreat those who are defenseless, mistreat those who perhaps have some disadvantages by making them more beholden to government? Who best can contrast themselves from that?”

Who was that? Palin said it was Gingrich, the “cheerful one.”

for the first time in my life I would be happy if a new party was formed with Col Allen West, Sarah, Michelle Bachmann, NV Gov Martinez I think her name is etc etc etc

Those like Mccain, Romney and really all the north east lot can go on their own ,merry way and disappear like the whig party.

Sadly I think those kind of republicans would then infest the new party like they did with the tea party and then destroy us from within much like obama and the socialists have done to the Dem party over the last few decades

Look at the question again, your post implies that Palin endorsed Gingrich to Alaska voters and failed, it doesn’t make sense, since that didn’t happen.

We will always have "free stuff" commies with us... we keep them from positions of power. One cannot compromise with communists... it never has worked and it never will.

So it’s ok to lie to the press?

IF {and I sincerely hope he doesn't} Romney gets the nomination she will be supporting Romney and you can take that too the bank. When it comes down too it she will support party no matter what just as she has before. Those who see her even remotely running in a third party forget the fact she ran as VP with one of the biggest Liberals in the GOP.

I believed she bowed out because she could support Newt, Romney, or even Santorum. As well she was making lots of money in books and media deals. I don't think she ever intends to be a politician again but enjoyed being in the limelight and of course the profits it brought her. Much like Newt in that respect. Newt at this point is not going to get the nod and he knows it. Santorum might stand a chance win it through the primaries but you can look for Brokered Convention if Romney doesn't secure it. The nominee then will be a handpicked by the elitist N.E. Atlantic Seaboard Liberal insider and I include Jeb as being such.

“But her voting for Newt is not going to change a thing for him.”

Exactly right. I have supported Palin in the past but her vote for Gingrich, or her endorsement of him, will have no impact on my vote at all. I will vote for Santorum because he is the best (indeed the only) chance to stop Romney.

I don’t understand what she is up to. I won’t even speculate about it. I don’t really care. Her endorsement of Gingrich is completely inconsequential.

No. It is ok to no answer though. Or answer in ways like Mitt when asked if he would repeal ObamaCare and instead of saying yes or no, he said, “why would I not do that?”

See how it works? The questioner thinks he basically said yes, but he said no such thing. :)
