OKLAHOMA CITY -- Sarah Palin has endorsed Republican U.S. Rep. Mary Fallin in the race for Oklahoma governor.

The former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee announced the endorsement Thursday on her Facebook page, describing Fallin and two female congressional candidates she also endorsed as "liberty loving 'Mama Grizzlies."'

Palin chose Fallin in Oklahoma's GOP primary that includes state Sen. Randy Brogdon, a tea party favorite, and businessmen Roger Jackson and Robert Hubbard. The nominee will face either Lt. Gov. Jari Askins or Attorney General Drew Edmondson, the two Democrats who are seeking to replace term-limited Gov. Brad Henry.

The primary election is July 27.

'Bout time.

I’d like to see Randy win, but Mary is not too far below that standard. And, she can win.

[ExGeeEye]

Mary Fallin must be a pro-amnesty RINO.

Or so the Palin-bashers would have you believe.

After all, Palin endorsed Commie Carly...

Speaking of Randy Brogdon, he might be a "Tea Party Favorite" - I've been to a couple of Tea Parties myself and heard him say the right things - but he ain't ready for prime time.

I don't mean to offend anyone who might think otherwise but I speak the truth.

Mary Fallin has better mojo and more talent.

She spells better. (Trust me on this one, folks.)

Here's her website.

Meh... no difference between Mary Fallin and Brady Henry.

Mary Fallin doesn't say what she stands for on her website. Sort of a big red flag.

Star:
Any comments?

[SoConPubbie]

Seems she gets it on Illegal Immigration:

Her support of the SAVE act

[SoConPubbie]

She was against using the TARP monies for Auto Bailouts

[SoConPubbie]

The bad news, :she voted for the original TARP.

[SoConPubbie]

Other than voting for the first TARP, it appears she voted against all the rest of the bailouts:

From OnTheIssues.org:

• Voted YES on $192B additional anti-recession stimulus spending. (Jul 2009)
• Voted NO on modifying bankruptcy rules to avoid mortgage foreclosures. (Mar 2009)
• Voted NO on additional $825 billion for economic recovery package. (Jan 2009)
• Voted NO on monitoring TARP funds to ensure more mortgage relief. (Jan 2009)
• Voted NO on $15B bailout for GM and Chrysler. (Dec 2008)
• Voted NO on $60B stimulus package for jobs, infrastructure, & energy. (Sep 2008)
• Voted NO on defining "energy emergency" on federal gas prices. (Jun 2008)
• Voted NO on revitalizing severely distressed public housing. (Jan 2008)
• Voted NO on regulating the subprime mortgage industry. (Nov 2007)
• Reclaim all bonuses paid to AIG executives & employees. (Mar 2009)

Many Conservatives voted for the original TARP. There
was a panic mode set in

[annieokie]

My Pick: Randy Brogdon, he is powerful and will stand up for Okla against the Zero adminstration.

[savedbygrace]

I agree, but Mary will do just fine. Not as good, but just fine.

IMO.

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

I suspect many on our side supported TARP like I supported going to get a shot in the butt when I was a kid.

The banks were failing and the Feds were telling us it was only option.

In hindsight, I don’t think the feds should have that power. Sarah Palin would agree,

[SoCalPol]

TARP was not a good idea but can see how some got hooked into voting for it and then regretted it

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

Yes. I agree.

The problem is that the Federal Reserve answers to no one. And they were going to get whatever they asked for at the time no matter who was running the show in Washington.

Hopefully times have changed to the point that conservatives now know that the FED is a part of the problem, THEY have failed and they have way too much power.

No comment on how to solve the problem of the 30-40 million illegals already in the country.

Somehow I am on Mary's e-mail list, I'm in Arizona, her campaign must have purchased a Republican List.

[c-b 1]

My question is, does Mary have the spine to stand up to the Federal Government, like Governor Brewer?
