Irrespective of my views on Sarah Palin (which I'm not going to go into), her giving him a plug or endorsing his son doesn't imply a political alliance to me.

I have a hard time seeing Sarah going along with alot of what Paul stands for and very publicly says (eliminating the various departments in the Federal Government (not just reducing spending, completely eliminating them), eliminating the Income Tax, completely withdrawing all US troops deployed overseas, etc).

I do support Ron Paul, and (grudgingly I will admit) Sarah is a decent politican, but outside of Paul being very independant of the GOP and her admiring him for it, I don't really see them getting along.

Ron Paul is too much of an idealogue to be an effective executive. He’s good at reinforcing principles no doubt and he has surprised me with how successful he’s been in communicating ideas. The fact that the GOP establishment doesn’t embrace him has been a blessing in disguise. Ron Paul gets invited to shows on channels like MSNBC and CNN, where he sounds off on limited government and the Constitutional principles to a liberal audience! I personally think it’s healthy for his ideas (particularly those regarding economics) to gain steam among such a crowd.

But yeah, he is not an effective politician.

Dude... I've been watching Sarah Palin for a long time.

Before she ever got picked for Veep by McCain, her position on Iraq was "Let the troops finish their job, and bring them home as soon as possible." That's a direct quote from her Alaskan State politics days. That's original and uncorrupted Governor Sarah Palin, from before the "McCain Days".

She's our creation. Ron Paul endorsed Sarah Palin back in 2006, and she's been endorsing the Pauls ever since.

Well, I don't mean any offense, but you're bloody well wrong.

Do you think that Ron and Rand Paul don't strategize politics at Family Christmas Dinner together? And do you think that Sarah Palin's endorsement came as a surprise to either of them?

There's no rivalry between the Palins and the Pauls. Their families have been in loose Alliance for at least the last four years.
