Michael Steele gave a lot of support to O’Donnell, and campaigned with her.

Interesting how Palin isn’t being criticized for backing Fiorina and Whitman

Palin never backed Whitman, at any time.

You may want to google that. There were a lot of headlines claiming that “Palin alludes to support of Whitman in speech” etc. May not have been a formal endorsement but the California press certainly interpreted it as an endorsement.

The first time could be called a mistake, but for you to keep trying to pass off that Palin was supporting Whitman, well that is something else.

Palin never backed Whitman, at any time.

Since you apparently haven’t caught on to the whole “google” thing yet. I have pasted an excerpt from the Mercury News for your viewing pleasure. It is intellectually dishonest for you to say, Palin never backed Whitman, when she publicly expressed a preference for Whitman, even if she didn’t use the words, “I endorse Whitman.”

SACRAMENTO, Calif.—Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has not yet endorsed a candidate in California’s race for governor, but she has made clear her preference for Republican Meg Whitman.
Appearing Friday at a forum hosted by the Sacramento Metro Chamber, Palin criticized California’s recently approved budget as an “unrealistic” attempt to close a $19 billion deficit.

Palin said the next governor “will have to make tough choices about spending cuts, and certainly—she—will be working in a bipartisan manner.” Palin emphasized the word “she” in her delivery.

It’s unclear whether Whitman, who would be California’s first female governor, would embrace a Palin endorsement.

She is not attending a Republican National Committee rally Saturday where Palin will be the headline speaker, saying she has campaign events elsewhere that day.

Right, the media ran some stories that week using the question of whether Palin “alluded” to supporting Whitman.

It never happened did it? That was on October 15, and nothing ever came of the weak speculation, Palin never supported nor endorsed Meg Whitman.

You don't have to announce you're a jackass, we can tell by reading your posts.

My apologies, Sport. I was being attacked in another thread and confused your response for one of the attacks. I should have paid better attention.

Your observation was correct. He is a jackass.

Oh don’t be so hard on the guy. Look how well they did in states without her help. You know California and New York.

Did you even read the article. Was there more than one female candidate. It was pretty clear that Palin supported her candidacy, even if the realities of California politics prevented her from using the phrase”I sarah palin hereby endorse Meg Whitman and” Having been given the link and the exerpt to maintain that Palin never backed Whitman is being intentionally dishonest rather than admit you were clearly wrong

It wasn’t clear at all, quit laying out BS, you can’t just make something up. I’m a California voter and am well aware of Governor Palin’s relationship to the California races and who she supported, quit being weird.
