This toe dipping she is known for always comes up short of the mark, but nationally she hurts Newt with any kind of endorsement for him for awhile, and she knows it. Thus, the toe has to suffice. Thankfully, she does know this.

Matt,
All the talk shows are coming to Newt today—but I think only because they think Romney has it sewn up.. As “Deep Throat” in the X-Files series said— “Trust No One!”

Rush has never been in the tank for Romney.

Well, let me ask you this: how did you feel about Santorum supporting Murkowski in her changeling victory in Alaska?

Ooooooooh, the Arlen Spector, the one who delivered Obamacare and Scottish law.

Nice job Ben. You support that?

How dare you? Your candidate not only supported a RINO squish, but a full out traitor and future democrat henchman. Congrats.

:-)

You are so right. Ever since the Alfalfa dinner in 2009, and hooking up with the McCain money men, and then endorsing him-— she has tied herself to the wrong horse. And if that is what’s holding her back, it’s a shame— because McCain is taking her no where,

Guess we were wrong about associating Paling with the Tea Party. A pity.

Good to find it out now.

Obiwan, Palin just helped your boy Santorum by doing this. Keeping the race going, helps Newt, Santorum and Perry by not letting Romney walk away with this thing yet.

Are you that dense, or is your PDS coming out on full display?

Like I said, I’m really disappointed in her endorsement.

I’m absolutely appalled by the response here of the Newt supporters.

To me it demonstrates that I made the right decision not to support Newt, even if that means going against Sarah Palin.

I'm not happy with Scuzzyfuzzy, nor half a dozen other things that Newt has done.

Every one of our candidates is flawed, and frankly Scuzzy's not going to make or break the case for me, nor should it for you considering who your candidate supported.

Hi Onyx!

Haven’t Sarah’s analyses on FNC been fantastic? MM

FFS - PDS?

I really, really like Sarah Palin.

I’m very disappointed that she would support someone who has backstabbed a tea party candidate to back a democrat.

If I didn’t care about who she endorsed, why on earth would I be disappointed.

You are aware that Santorum got his start in ‘94 because Spector helped him out?

I don’t agree with his endorsement, but I can understand that he wanted to repay the dues that he owed him.

What did Newt get for the Scuzzyflava endorsement? Can anyone here explain that one to me?

I listen, on podcast, to Rush every single day and in no way have I perceived he’s “in the tank” for Romney.

He’s said, as have most conservatives like Levin, etc., that IF (nice little word with so much power) Mitt is the nominee they’d vote for him over Obama. Or an orange juice can. Or Mickey Mouse.

The fact it sucks and we, yet again, have to hold our nose between the lesser of two evils is our own problem for not getting out there and defeating the RINO’s and libs that screw everything up.

I find it strange that you cannot forgive Newt for a bad endorsement, but you can forgive your candidate for two.

Is the force weak with you?

This is 2012. Wake up. The political realities have changed.

Even your boy Rick S, is not pure as the driven snow, so knock it off already.

Palin just threw your boy a lifeline, and you don’t like its color.

Sheesh!

If all you have to say is b*llsh*t, it’s best to just keep it to yourself.

Scuzzyflava was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Newt has a ton of baggage. I’m not happy with what he did with his wives, even more unhappy to find out that only the second was annulled.

A fact, that was helpfully brought up to me in May. I had assumed, along with others that both had been annulled, then I found out that he wasn’t.

I’m not happy with his flip flops on O-Care and on global warming. I just don’t trust the man to do the right thing when the crunch is down.

Like I said way back when. 90 percent is good, 10 percent is absolutely baffling. I’m not going to accept that 10 percent unless there is simply no one else.

Santorum, has been very consistant. You don’t see him swinging all over the place like you do with Newt. I like that in a candidate. I’d rather have someone that was the same when he came in at the start of 4 years as when he leaves.

Newt - just isn’t that type of person. I should like Newt - he’s got the same background I do, he taught history, and I do too. He’s an idea man more than someone who gets stuff done, so am I.

But because I am one, I know why I wouldn’t trust him at the helm if that makes a lick of sense. VP - yes. President, no.

And I’ll stick by that, even if everyone here makes fun of me for doing so.
