Contrary to whay people are saying here on FR, some of these people definitely jump in with an endorsement. The most likely are people who want or could benefit from a cabinet position. If Gingrich wins Iowa and SC, and does well in NH, look for Palin & Cain to get behind him soon after. Neither will endorse Romney before he gets the nomination. Giuliani will get behind whichever candidate becomes a forgone conclusion.

If you listen to Sarah’s interview last night with Eric Bolling, it appears she’s not going to endorse anyone anytime now or later. She was pretty fired up against them in general

Looking at the ten names, they just automatically fell into three categories that made me think of the old Clint Eastwood film - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Just so you know, your link does not include whatever childish question I’m assuming you asked the Magic 8-Ball.

About a week ago, she was hinting to Hannity that she was supporting Santorum.

I think Gov. Palin is supporting a brokered convention with a Romney holding so few delegates that it’s the others fighting for his support, rather than the other way around. Last week it was Santorum, now she’s saying nice things about Ron Paul’s domestic positions. How does Alaska pick delegates? Is there a chance she’ll be there as an unpledged delegate from AK?

She pumped Santorum up just like she pumped up Newt once and now she’s dumping on Mitt and Newt.

None of those endorsements would matter.
The only endorsement that could possibly move the needle would be RUSH. He could probably coalesce all of the anti-romney, no paul vote.
But he ain’t gonna so hopefully the electorate is smart enough to pick a conservative on their own.

John McCain and Rudy Giuliani? Give me a break. I didn’t like Rudy Giuliani when Rick Perry was telling us he was the best man to be President, and I don’t like him now and McCain needs to retire.
To: presidio9
John McCain? Maybe to know who NOT to vote for...

Endorsement from Terry Brandstad, governor of Iowa, is definitely important. He has a good network of republicans that really help the caucus meetings.

I love Sarah, but then, why in the hell didn't she run? It's easy to sit on the sidelines and be critical of the people out there every day fighting every demon from hell and the mainstream media. And Jim DeMint can shut his f**king mouth too as far as I'm concerned. He didn't have the balls to run

Rudy is a deal maker, he'll get behind either whomever makes him a good offer, or (if no one makes him any kind of offer, or any good one), then he'll endorse whomever he thinks is going to win.
Good offer being a cabinet position, v.p. slot, or something high up. He would make a good homeland sec, but to me, thats pretty much it.

I'd also make the argument, that a Tom Tancredo endorsement would be very very big for any candidate.
And, unless he already endorsed someone, I would think Scott Walker would be up there too, also, what about Dr. Dobson ?

So you are confirming that you are to dumb to use a magic 8 ball and therefore are winging it. I'm confirming that you are quite obviously too dumb to be posting here. I had a real magic 8 ball when I was 8 or 9 years old. It held my interest for about 15 minutes.
Perhaps the children's toy was unable to tell you this, but Herman Cain is no longer in the race. Time for you to pick a new candidate. If and when Cain picks one himself, it will very likely be Newt Gingrich. I didn't hear that from a toy. Run along, little troll.
