Sarah Palin endorses (confirmed)

[dr. hfn]

wow

 

[Andrew-Austin]

coooool........

The lone man running Trey Grayson's campaign is not pleased:

lol

 

[Austrian Econ Disciple]

Again, Paul's victory is far from a sure thing and encouraging people to act like it is will hurt his campaign.

So you are telling me, unless Rand fundraises even more, that he won't win? How about we let SarahPAC fund him from here on out, and we use the off-setting funds to fund liberty candidates? I know, novelty idea..

Rand will need more cash, no doubt. If he doesn't get it will he be elected? Who knows? But assuming he's got the election tied up...well...you know what assuming does...

Encouraging people to abandon Rand and focus their attention on other candidates will only have a negative impact on his campaign.

 

[pacelli]

Now Rand has the neocons paying him to win. Interesting development.

Thank goodness today is the KOKESH MONEYBOMB and tomorrow is the MEDINA MONEYBOMB!! No neocon PACs sponsoring those campaigns.

 

[RonPaulFanInGA]

Oh the double whammy if Grayson follows this up by putting out some piss-poor fundraising numbers today.

A Palin endorsement would be a huge boost for Medina before the election.

I don't know if you missed the part, but I specifically said Primary. We can get back to Rand in the General, but for now we have to get all of our liberty-candidates past the primary and Rand is about 98% confirmed to get the Primary at this point.

It would such a shame if RJ, Adam, Jake, or Pat didn't get past the primaries or were too ill-funded to do much in the General, because of irrational fears about Rand losing now.

No doubt, hopefully Rand will put in a good word for her campaign.

 

[Malachi]

Ok, can we shift our fundraising to people like Adam, RJ, Debra, Jake and Peter now?

No one is stopping you.


Palin endorsement rocks!

Its irrational to assume he even has the primary sewn up before any votes are cast.

You can if you want. Me, I like where Rand Paul's campaign is going: namely UP.

Mommy to melt down in 3...2....1....

What a drag it is getting old
"Kids are different today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she's not really ill
There's a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day

"Things are different today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag
So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And two help her on her way, get her through her busy day

Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old

This is great! Hopefully Rand will be able to move conservatives toward him and not the other way around! Lets try to get Huckabee to endorse now! The more people who endorse, the more people will begin to expect Republicans to run candidates like Rand!

 

[phesoge]

Thhis is a good news because it should solidify support among social conservatives for Rand. Huckabee on the other hand I am not so sure about because he has some weird disgust for Libertarian economics. HE saiud the following Mike Huckabee: Faux-cons (false conservatives) include libertarians
I call the new breed of political animal, which carries an attitude of supreme superiority for its "purity," the "faux-cons." Their passion for their viewpoint goes beyond "loud and proud" and just substitutes volume for veracity. Faux-cons use dismissive language to accuse those who disagree as being anything from RINOs (Republicans In Name Only), socialists, big-government Republicans, or religious nuts. (They tarred me with nearly all of those labels). Once such dramatic lines of demarcation are drawn, an honest dialogue over the details pretty much disappears.

You can see the growing influence of the faux-cons in the 2008 election cycle from the so-called Ron Paul Revolution to the economics-only conservatism reflected by some of the supporters of Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani (even if not entirely by the candidates themselves).

[TheSouth18]

Yeah, I was very disappointed about that part of his book as well. The wierd thing about it was that he did not tie the "libertarians" to Ron Paul, but rather to Mitt Romney which is kinda wierd. I sent and email inquiring about that and did not receive a reply. As far as I'm concerned, I'm with Huckabee, we certainly don't need any "Mitt Romney libertarians". lol

Plus, Huckbee needs to beef up his liberty creds a little. This would be a step in the right direction.

I believe a PAC can only give $4k to a campaign (I could be wrong though).

 

[itshappening]

Matt, are you going to say hello to her? she is in your neck of the woods? #

 

[koob]

I believe a PAC can only give $4k to a campaign (I could be wrong though).

From the Wiki page on PACs:

"Federal multi-candidate PACs are limited in the amount of money they can contribute to candidate campaigns or other organizations: at most $5,000 per candidate per election. Elections such as primaries, general elections and special elections are counted separately."

It's $5,000.

Palin is supposed to be in Kentucky in April. Maybe she'll campaign for him then or something.

Either way, this is a big endorsement that helps one of our candidate's electoral chances.
