Maybe she’s challenging the tea party to take on the elites. And we know she can’t do anything but endorse McCain. What I don’t understand is why Romney is endorsing McCain.

If the “old Party” WON’T push it’s Incumbents to debate their Primary Challengers, Palin will survive. The RNC may not.

She wouldn't have the audience she has if McCain hadn't made her his running mate. So you can't blame her for endorsing McCain.

And while McCain may not have done anything else for conservatives, he did introduce the nation to Sarah.

McCrazy is a ball and chain on her leg. I know about returning political favors, but this is tantamount to suicide on her part. I hope he goes gently into that (political) good night before long.

We wouldn't know about Sarah if Johnny Mac hadn't picked her.
Sarah is awesome.

Cut her some slack on the McCain "loyalty" process.

Hopefully she's speaking some sense into McCain (and his daughter and wife Cindy who are so politically lost).
and hopefully she'll also support Hayworth, too. Let the best man win............

Yes she can she can stay neutral. This B.S. that she has to be loyal is going to cause problems for her.

Endorsements are coming nationwide from Tea Party organizers for Hayworth.

This idea that the MSM will question her loyalty will be couched in a manner that she will look like she isn’t loyal to the Tea Party but to McCain.

And she will not have a leg to stand on to argue against it.

She took her support for granted as did McCain.

Other than “endorsing” McCrazy, I haven’t heard one word from her about supporting his policies, or for that mater trashing JD. Have you? I suspect that we won’t...

I wish people would think that through a bit more...there is no way she could have done anything else and stayed in politics with any clout.

Not endorsing McCain after he had her as his running mate would have made her look petty and little and would would have been used forever by the MSM to tear her down.

So she endorses McCain because she has to but on the same day as the Tea Party states that McCain has to go she comes out and states that the Tea Party needs to take over the party. Not hard to figure that one out in the least. How much you want to bet there will not be many stops in Arizona during this election season at large rallies.

What I do not understand is the Rand Paul endorsement if he holds his fathers beliefs....now that is worrying.

Palin went around with the Repub good ole boy network up here in Alaska; and she won. They really went after her in the beginning though. In the end she straightened everything out up here. It was her integrity and demand for good, responsible, efficient government that the people connected with Palin on. They could believe what she said; wasn’t all that much of a debate when we had been living with corrupt Repubs for years.

it can be argued that in 2008 sarah palin did a heck of a lot more for mccain than he did for her.

I think she knows she's going to get a lot of flak for supporting McCain.

Remember when she said in Nashville that the tea party shouldn't put too much faith in individuals, but in the movement itself? I think that was the most visionary we've seen Palin. She was reminding us that there are political expediencies that trap individuals, but won't trap movements. I think it was a remarkable message to send.

We've got a long time until the AZ primary. McCain is bringing out his big guns, hoping to take out JD early. Notice that Sarah hasn't said one unkind thing about JD.

I know no such thing, and don't want to hear anymore excuses.

McCain would save the Republican a lot of trouble if he were to drop out of the race. That way, Hayworth would not have to spend his warchest fighting McCain in the primary, which August 24, 2010. Hayworth then would have a money bomb to take out the DemonRAT.

This is what the hard left has done to the once honorable Democrat Party. If we, the tea party people, run as a seperate party we will do nothing but assure the election of the demonic-rats.

We must run our candidates as “Constitutional Republicans.” We must also adopt the logic of patience. It took the hard left 50 years to take the party of JFK to its present position of Socialism. Actually the party of JFK is to the right of the present GOP.

Who cares whether you want to hear it or not. You can stick your fingers in your ears and shut your eyes to avoid truth it doesn’t take from the fact anyone with the slightest knowledge of politics understands why she’s stuck where she is. It’s why even Michelle malkin not known for pulling punches with Republicans hasn’t gone heavily after her for it. Most of the conservative and Tea Party movements haven’t gone after her for it.

Endorsing McCain and campaigning for him won’t destroy her or seriously wound her.

Attacking J.D. on the other hand...that would hurt her. If she’s smart, and usually she is, she’ll stick just to singing Maverick’s praises and leave the mudslinging out of it.

Excuse me, I did not realize you had a monopoly on truth.

Then you had better play this video over and over in your mind, because she is going to get hammered and she will lose support.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3r5sBgk5tM&feature=player_embedded

People will just look at her as just part of the gang. For political expediences as you say. Especially when McCain is out there lying about his record.

It tarnishes her brand doesn’t it?

The news on tha national movement endorsing Hayworth is a game changer and it serves notice to those that endorse McCain.

When Sarah palin is out there stumping for McCain what will be the reaction?

Cheers?

Only if it is a group that is hand picked. The same thing that Obama did.

I blame McCain. He put her on the spot. He should have left her alone. Unless he did it on purpose.
