Palin is obligated to McCain, but the Rand Paul endorsement was just ridiculous.
At least she tempered it by saying she only agrees with him on economic issues.
Which at this time are non-trivial.
If Paul wins the primary, with Palin’s help, it hurts the national conservative movement.
Best of luck to Sarah in her future endeavors, but high office will not be one of them.
Rand Paul clearly has more than few nutty views, which isn’t surprising considering that he’s Ron Paul’s son. The surprising part to me is that he’s actually run a very competent campaign in two important areas: raising campaign funds and building an organization inside his state via the Tea Party and his father’s supporters. He’s outworked Grayson in the grassroots and mastered an insurgent campaign running as the “conservative” choice in the race. Recently, in the past few weeks I’ve noticed Paul playing more and more defense and there hasn’t been any recent polling to see if it has affected his support. If the next polling shows Paul still leading by double digits, he might be too difficult to catch by the primary date on May 20.
