No, probably not.
>> Do my fellow freepers think that Sarah Palin will endorse and campaign with Newt leading up to the all-important Super Tuesday contests on March 6th?
No; she’ll string us along like the little tease that she turned out to be, though.
She has learned to play her adoring conservative fans like a fiddle. The media have taught her well. Her build-up is exquisite, but there’s no joy — it’s always “We’ll be back with more after this commercial...”
Just my 2c but I bet I’m dead on.
No. I think Sarah has given Newt a tacet endorsement through Todd, but she will not openly endorse. I think she is keeping her options open for the possibility of a brokered convention. And watching how the candidates have torn each other apart, it may have been the smart move.
She backed away from Newt pretty hard on Gretavision last night.
She gave Newt a valuable push at a very integral moment, before SC. And clearly helped stop Romney from running away with it. But Newt has got to fly on his own, instead of floundering around like he has lately.
She’s pretty much self marginalized now. She had a big impact in 2010 with something like a 75% endorse to win rate; but now she’s a non entity.
Sad.
Newt is one of the most flawed (in so many ways) Presidential candidates ever. He has no chance of being elected.
Romney is now all but coronated. She wasn’t in for the penny when it would have mattered most, she will not be in for the pound when Newt is now all but finished.
I have been thorougly upset and frustrated since the FL debates. It amazes me how better than 60% on this forum can articulates things about Newt accurately, and then you get a sizable bunch that don’t see anything special him, and in fact find more in a person like Santorum, who is a good and decent person, but no where in the same ball park.
Sarah, was at the forefront two years ago in picking people to support. Many were not favorites. I think she supported some she shouldn’t have.
I THOUGHT PEOPLE FROM THE CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT WOULD RISE UP IN DROVES FOR NEWT. PEOPLE WITH WHOM HE WORKED WITH.
Instead we see the likes of people we all have come to respect attack Newt like the left attacks our people. People like Ann Coulter, etc.
Sarah should come out for Newt now. That would be the courageous thing to do. Santorum is poised to pick up some momentum here that will keep in the race a bit longer.
I’m convinced that he will drop out and support Romney at some point.
Has Todd been actually campaigning with Newt?
“Palin’s endorsement could also convince the American people that Rick Santorum is not in the same league as the Conservative Rock Star Gingrich”
Who told you that? Gingrich trails women voters by 20-points, has massive unfavorability ratings, no Gallup poll so far has shown him beating Obama (unlike Santorum), he’s definitely un-telegenic, and has a $1.6m Freddy Mac albatross around his neck, lost to Romney in Florida across the board with all major demographics, supported cap-and-trade, TARP, and assailed the Ryan Plan to reform Medicare, wrote a paper supporting the individual health mandate, and he’s a “rock star”?
Hey, I predicted the Patriots would win the Super Bowl Sunday night so like the flip of coin, I figure I'm due to be right next time around.

I don’t know if she will or won’t endorse - I don’t think it *should* matter. Point being: Newt needs to get this done without Palin’s help.
Why would any candidate need a crutch? I’m not saying they shouldn’t welcome endorsements from anyone (Palin or otherwise), just that they need to be able to carry their own weight.
The sad part is that this implies there are voters out there, undecided, wavering, or clueless and are looking for a celebrity to tell them how to vote. Come to think of it, that may explain why the country is in the shape it’s in.
I’m not sure she wants to endorse with Santorum still in the race. I think that she is not so pro-Newt as she is anti-romney. Therefor she has tried to give the person polling closest to romney a boost. She is taking heat on the web for being as pro-Newt as she has been.
Anyone going to CPAC hear about the Occupiers plans to disrupt and even attack people? They are making plans for Sat. I’m trusting some of you good ol’ boys will keep Mama Palin safe.
