Reaction to Sarah Palin's Doug Hoffman endorsement, Part 3

Shannon Bell:

"Sarah Palin’s endorsement of Doug Hoffman will surely be a test for her; a test to see if her name carries as much weight as I and a lot of others thinks it does. Backing Hoffman means going against the Republican establishment. But it also means standing for Conservative principles; the one thing lacking in the GOP right now."

The Note:

"If there's a Republican who commands a bigger army [than Sarah Palin] at this moment in American politics, name her or him."

Adrienne Ross:

"We have been waiting for this endorsement. Here it is, and as a New Yorker, I am especially pleased to report that Sarah Palin has endorsed Doug Hoffman for the 23rd Congressional District of New York."

David Weigel:

"The first repercussion of Palin’s move? Last time, reporters got a chance to ask Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R-Minn.) if he’d make an endorsement in the race, and Pawlenty said he hadn’t been following it."

Tom Bevan:

"If that is any indication of Pawlenty's style and the kind of approach he takes to the 2012 GOP primary, I'm not sure how inspiring he'll be to the base of the Republican party..."

Voting Female Speaks:

"Sarah Palin takes off the gloves and withholds support for the Republican RINO, Dede Scozzafava and the GOP Washington establishment who now feels the Palin heat of disapproval in the New York special election for the 23′rd District seat in the US House of Representatives."

Mark Tapscott:

"Prediction: Not being identified with 'any political machine' will be the most important asset a congressional candidate can have in 2010."

Reagan to Palin:

"It’s obvious that despite the liberal media pundits predicting her political demise, Palin has come out swinging with integrity and conservative conviction."

Michelle Malkin:

"Attention, GOP establishment: Can you hear conservatives now? ... Sarah Palin is listening."

Mike Volpe:

"Dede Scozzafava has become the symbol, for many Conservatives, for what is wrong with the Republican Party. The Tea Party movement has decided to draw a line in the sand and flex its muscle electorally. Political heavyweights like Fred Thompson, Sarah Palin, and Dick Armey have all weighed in."

Dave's Notepad:

"[Palin's] endorsement of a conservative third-party candidate was not just a slap at the always-meandering Newt Gingrich, but a shot across the bow of the Republican Party itself. I hope Michael Steele is paying attention..."

Don Surber:

"Sarah Palin needed no prodding in endorsing [Hoffman]. It is a gimme. Once again she bucks the Establishment and bolts the party... Call it post partisan."

Just a conservative girl:

"Sarah had said she was going to stand by conservative principles before party. Today she did just that."

Eternity Road:

"GOP-NY's power-brokers are aghast that this outsider, this Alaskan woman, could upset their applecarts so easily. They confront the prospect of irrelevance before a superior power, and it frightens them."

Michael Rulle:

"This will not win [Sarah Palin] 'friends'– now that is — in the Republican Party. Plus she is putting the GOP on notice. She’s throwing her influence around, so to speak. She is trying to force the center of gravity of the party toward her views."

Reaction to 'Going Rogue' - Round Three

Here are some more quotes you can use to make Palin-hatin' leftists foam at the mouth...

bRight & Early:

"Sarah Palin’s book, Going Rogue, won’t be released for another nearly 50 days. A situation that is sure to cause liberal heads to explode, Going Rogue is #1."

JammieWearingFool:

"Meanwhile, Barack Obama reportedly has called up his ghostwriter Bill Ayers and asked him to rush to print a new book of "his own" tentatively entitled Dreams of Myself."

Serr8d's Cutting Edge:

"Don't try this at home, Dems. All of the top-selling books r belong to us."

Dave Woodard, Clemson University political scientist:

"The left hates her for a reason, and they are afraid of what she can do."

Colleen O'Conner:

"The popular California bumper sticker, 'Keep On Honking. I’m Reloading' may capture the mystery that is Sarah Palin."

FireAndreaMitchell.com:

"#1 on Amazon and #1 on Barnes and Noble best seller list, and its not even out until mid-November! I bet Letterman hates this too."

Carter Clews:

"The real reason the far left hates Sarah Palin, of course, is that she embodies -- top to bottom, inside and out -- all that they hate to the very marrow of their poisonous bones... [She] is an outright affront to the ruinous situational ethics by which the left defines its very existence."

Politically Drunk On Power:

"Wednesday provided a solid victory for Palin as the deranged attacks upon her backfired and she accomplished the feat of unseating the Internet sales ranking of two newly released best-sellers."

Dan Gilgoff:

"Just look at the title: Going Rogue. With the book already in the No. 1 slot on Amazon, the pitch seems to be resonating."

Alamo City Pundit:

"I love this woman. I love any decent sister in Christ who can go toe-to-toe with Libs and drive them wild just by being honest."

Savage Indignation:

"I trust Gov. Palin will continue to be the focus of support not only for us Constitutionalists, populists, paleoconservatives, libertarians, and values voters, but also for all you Republicans of good will out there who think McCain, Grahamnesty and Lamar Alexander... and the rest of those country-club Viagravators should get bent."

Larry Croft:

"Mrs. Palin has been beat up ad nauseam but she doesn’t pick herself up and make a comeback. Instead, from what I see, she keeps on going without breaking stride."

Puma For Life:

"I can’t think of a more classic battle than one between The One and Sarah Palin; that is, if the press can contain themselves and, instead of slandering Palin’s character, report on the issues."

Chet Nichols:

"Oh, and that irony thing, it hurts too. 'Going Rouge' is the term that many of the left-wing media used while trying to belittle her. Whew…that’s gotta sting!"

McClatchy Watch:

"Going Rogue: An American Life should be fascinating for those of us who watched the Anchorage Daily News and McClatchy's DC bureau toss their ethics out the window in their determination to savage Sarah Palin."

There are more where these came from. Stay tuned...
