Sissy Willis asked the question New Year's Eve and even sent a message to Brown via Facebook encouraging his campaign to seek the endorsement of the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee:
"I encourage you to seek Palin's support. She is DYNAMITE and much loved by red staters like me behind enemy lines here in Massachusetts, not to mention the vast army of tea party people across the nation. Her charisma and common-sense understanding of how the world works are totally energizing. If you haven't already, I urge you to read Going Rogue. Let's ROLL!"Moe Lane has picked up the drumbeat and says that it's time:
"So let’s light this candle."But before the blogging community gets too caried away by the seductive beat, everyone should back off and think for just a minute. Remember, the decision rests with Brown and his campaign. Gov. Palin is politically astute enough to withold any endorsement of Brown unless and until he asks for it. He may not ask for it.
In Massachusetts, one of the bluest of blue states, Brown may only want the endorsements of Republican Lites, and he has received such a nod from John McCain. We doubt that Brown would turn his back on any PAC money, however, even if it came from Red Rock Reagan Republicans, as Sissy reports that Brown is being underfunded by the NRSC.

We also may want to remember that Brown posed nude for Cosmo during his college days, and though people are forgiven (and Sarah Palin is forgiving). It might look very hipocritcal of her to endorse him when 3 weeks ago she said Levi was doing porn when he posed for playgirl. The liberals would love to use that against her. This is a trickier one than others.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if abortion is a make or break issue for Governor Palin, but Scott Brown is pro-choice. Also, his stance on energy doesn't explicitly mention domestic drilling. All other stances seem to be in line with her principles from what I can tell.

Whitney, she's not endorsing him in a primary but in the general when the choice is between him and the radical abortionist Coakley. Sarah can say that she differs with brown on this issue but we need his vote in the Senate. To be on the safe side, she can also point that expecting this seat is a stretch but we need to take the message of conservatism everywhere, even in the blue states.
ReplyDeleteLet's stop telling Sarah what to do, shall we?
ReplyDeleteYou know how that turned out for the Alaska GOP?
And for the McCain campaign?
This is up to Scott Brown and Sarah.
Not us.
I wasn't suggesting that she should or shouldn't endorse him. I was simply stating a few facts about Brown. I make it a point to never say "Sarah should...". :)
