Why not? When the real conservative is lagging in the polls and can't get traction in liberal CA, what should you suppose to do? You make the best out of a bad situation.
Palin DID NOT HAVE TO COME FORWARD AND SUPPORT THAT RACIST STEELE.
Has it ever occurred to you that Palin is contemplating a run for POTUS and will need the backing of the party chair? Why would she attack someone who controls the infrastructure of the GOP?

I see. So not matter what Steele does and no matter how racist he is and nt matter how unfit for the job - she should be vocally outspoken telling people to lay off him because she wants to run, eh???
That thinking is enough right there to throw her out as the second coming that so many of you think she is...
“Palin DID NOT HAVE TO COME FORWARD AND SUPPORT THAT RACIST STEELE.”
Steele was an early supporter of the Tea Parties and an outsider within the crusty GOP Establishment. This is why Palin supports him, not because she endorses his every utterance or action.
Palin:
“I support Michael Steele.... I think he’s doing a great job. Michael Steele is an outsider. The machine, I think, is tough to penetrate... I think it’s been good to have an independent outsider trying to create some change in the Republican Party.”
Somebody needs to shake up the ossified GOP superstructure. I don’t know if Steele is the one, but I don’t want Mitt Romney or Ed Gillespie or one of hte Bushies selecting the Chairman and trying to rig the process in 2012. they have made a complete mess of the RNC since 2000 and even before.
