Describing anti-Obamacare candidate Ben Sasse as the "clear conservative choice in the Nebraska Senate race," former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin endorsed Ben Sasse's U.S. Senate candidacy on Thursday.
Sasse has been surging in the polls against his primary challenger, Shane Osborn, by running against Obamacare and the permanent political class in Washington.
“I have said from the very beginning of this campaign that the problem in D.C. is that we have a government of Democrats with big-government bad ideas and Republicans regularly with no ideas. That is not good enough," Sasse told Palin. He added:
We have got to be a party that sells the conservative vision of the future. I have also said that the GOP establishment in this country does not understand that the house is on fire and we have to save this country – not tomorrow, or next year, or at some debt-crisis moment in five years, but now.
Palin wrote that Sasse is a "proven problem solver" who took over as president of Midland University in his hometown as the "school was on the verge of bankruptcy."
"But under Ben’s steady leadership and commitment to make tough decisions and reform old policies, Midland is on the path to recovery and has nearly tripled enrollment," Palin wrote. "Today, it’s the fastest growing school in the Midwest. We need those kinds of results in D.C."
Palin also mentioned that Sasse knows "how dysfunctional D.C. is" because "he’s witnessed firsthand the corrosive effect bad big government policies can have, and he knows that Obamacare is as bad as it gets."

Next stop ... South Carolina! Please!
I was suppose to see him this morning, but stayed up late at grandsons hockey game.
Sasse has also shown the value of keeping it simple and staying away from crap social issues - his platform is 1) anti-Obamacarea nd 2) anti-DC.
It doesn’t have to be any more complicated than that!
Go Sarah — President Alinsky and the radical libs will not like Sasse :-)
I saw Mr Sasses’ Campaign Bus on US Highway 75 N. of Bellevue, NE on my way to work @ Offutt AFB this morning! Good Lookin’ Bus!
God Bless Sarah Palin!!!

You missed seeing Ben Sasse, but you had your priorities (grandson’s soccer game) in the proper order. Bless you.
Good enough for me. I trust Sarah on these things.
Another grandson played hockey against Sasse’s daughter last weekend and lost. He had his bus here and saw him outside locker room with her. Wanted to say hi, but didn’t want to bother father/daughter moment.
They’re BOTH good solid conservatives....they should have figured out a way to have one of them run for governor..
