Sarah Palin endorses Brian Murphy for governor of Maryland (Updated)

*
On Facebook Wednesday, Gov. Palin endorsed "papa grizzly" Brian Murphy in Maryland's GOP primary race for governor:
Brian Murphy for Maryland

I’m honored to endorse Brian Murphy for Governor of Maryland. Brian is a pro-life, pro-Second Amendment commonsense conservative and a firm believer in the free market and the cause for energy independence. As a former energy industry executive and current small business owner, Brian has the private sector experience that is so lacking in government today. He knows how to incentivize industry to get our economy moving again. Together with his running mate for lieutenant governor, Mike Ryman, Brian will provide Maryland with principled and results oriented leadership.

Please join me in supporting Brian by visiting his website at www.brianmurphy2010.com and following him on Facebook and Twitter.
In the primary race, Murphy opposes former Gov. Bob Erlich, who lost to Democrat Martin O'Malley in November, 2006 after serving a single term.

Updates...

Brian Murphy issued the following statement in a press release from his campaign:
“I am humbled and honored to receive Governor Palin’s endorsement. Governor Palin has served her city, her state, her country, and her party with distinction. Governor Palin has always been led by principle, conviction and character. I look forward to working with her as we unify the Republican Party in Maryland, and around the country, on its core principles. Governor Palin’s endorsement is an honor and a privilege.”
