Palin: I'd vote for Gingrich in South Carolina

Sarah Palin's not quite endorsing Newt Gingrich for president, but if she were a South Carolina voter, he's the one she'd cast her ballot for this weekend.

The idea, Palin explained on Fox News, would be to keep the primary season going. Via Juana Summers, here's the case Palin made:

"I can tell you what I would do if I were a South Carolinian…If I were a South Carolinian though, and each one of these primaries and caucuses are different, Sean, I want to see this thing continue because iron sharpens iron. Steel sharpens steel. These guys are getting better in their debates. They are getting more concise. They are getting more grounded in what their beliefs are and articulating what their ideas are for getting America back on the right track and getting Americans working again. If I had to vote in South Carolina order to keep this thing going, I would vote for Newt and I would want it to continue. More debates, more vetting of candidates."

She also praised Gingrich's debate performance Monday night:(continued)

You made a statement like you understood the game that is being played (yes, agreed, politics is a game), without saying what the “game” was.

When asked to explain yourself, you refused to, and answered the question with a question.

The conclusion that you do not understand the game is inescapable.

I would be all in for that.A hill worth dying on.

Sarah needs to shut her mouth and let people decide for themselves.

Sarah stated an opinion about what she would do. I'm not sure how you think she is preventing people from "deciding for themselves" what they would do.

The standing joke actually fact is that Newt should cut and carve a ‘second’ party run.

Angelo de Codavilla nailed the true nature of the makeup of powers of today.

There is one party today that is the Ruling Class and they comprise Rs and Ds,

Then there is the Country Class that has no party as of yet. If Newt can pull off forming a Country Party and winning the Whitehouse, then we are all on the road to reform and recapturing our heritage, and the decentralization of power will begin.

But of course it will not go without a fight.

Here’s the Palin quote.

Naaaah. Your PDS derangement and constant frothing at the mouth on Sarah Palin threads got old long ago.
Meanwhile, you will explain to us, how Sarah Palin saying she’d vote for Newt if she were in South Carolina, stops anyone from making up their minds.

Sigh.

And typical.

A perfectly logical observation made on the logical absurdity and hypocrisy of your comment is greeted by mere vulgarity.

How about trying a substantive counter-argument next time if you don’t agree with a point?
