Sarah Palin: ‘54 states to go’

Just 37 seconds after Sarah Palin was called upon for election night analysis, Fox News had to interrupt her for the series of three concession speeches by the also-rans and Newt Gingrich's victory speech. The network got back to her later, and we posted that video last night.

But in the brief earlier segment, Mama Grizzly got in a quick swipe of the bear claw at the incompetent occupant of the White House:

Todd Palin's Letter to American Conservatives


January 15, 2012


Dear Fellow Conservative:

I’m deeply concerned about our nation’s future. I believe that we must nominate and elect a President candidate this year who will stop America’s slide and fight for the values that made our nation great.

I believe that candidate is Newt Gingrich, and I am proudly supporting him for President. I deeply hope you will, too.

Just like my wife Sarah, Newt tells the American people the truth and what he believes, not what he thinks they want to hear. He doesn’t flip-flop on core issues to advance his political chances.

Like Sarah, Newt can take hits from his opponents and the media, and keep on fighting. He’s tough as nails, and he is still standing today because of the power of his ideas, not because he had the most money!

And when it’s time to stand on the national debate stage this fall, you can’t tell me any other candidate will be able to expose Barack Obama and persuade the voters of the conservative case as powerfully as Newt will!

As an Independent, it’s also important to me that Newt knows how to work with Democrats without giving up on our principles. We can’t afford to nominate a pre- packaged candidate without core beliefs -- we need a committed conservative leader who knows how to take on the establishment and create real change!

Newt wrote the Contract with America, balanced the budget four years in a row as Speaker, and reformed welfare. We need his vision and proven leadership, with his record of getting things done, in the White House.

I’m with Newt Gingrich and I would be honored if you would stand with me and cast your vote for Newt in the primary

Yours for America,


Todd Palin

Scott Conroy: Gingrich Hoping for Boost From Sarah Palin

It seems that every time our Sarah appears on Fox News, pundits and Paliniste pore over not just ever word, but every nuance they think they spot in those words and how she utters them. Tusday night's Palin appearance with Sean Hannity fits the pattern:
Despite the deeply held maxim that endorsements are overrated, Newt Gingrich and his senior aides are increasingly hopeful of gaining Palin’s support, which could mark a significant turn in the Republican nominating fight.

In a Fox News appearance on Tuesday night, the 2008 vice presidential nominee stopped just short of endorsing Gingrich but told Sean Hannity that if she were a South Carolina resident, she would vote for him “in order to keep this thing going.”

Palin’s husband, Todd, endorsed Gingrich earlier this month, and top Palin aides have told RCP that both members of Alaska’s most famous political couple speak favorably of the former House speaker in private.

In a Washington Post poll released last week, 23 percent of registered Republicans and GOP-leaning independents nationwide said that an endorsement by Palin would make them more likely to back a particular candidate, while 15 percent said it would make them less likely to do so.

But Palin’s impact among evangelical and Tea Party-leaning GOP voters could be significant in the current multi-conservative field.

Asked how impactful a Palin endorsement would be, one Gingrich aide replied succinctly: “Big.”

Todd Palin endorses Newt Gingrich for president (Updated)

Todd Palin told ABC News Monday that he is endorsing Newt Gingrich for president:
But Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and John McCain’s 2008 Republican running mate, has yet to decide “who is best able to go up against Barack Obama,” Todd Palin said.

Palin said he has not spoken to Gingrich or anyone from the former House speaker’s campaign. But he said he respects Gingrich for what he went through in the 1990s and compared that scrutiny in public life to what Sarah Palin went through during her run for the vice presidency.

Todd Palin said he believes that being in the political trenches and experiencing the highs and lows helps prepare a candidate for the future and the job of president.

He did not criticize any of the other candidates and said his “hat is off to everyone” in the Republican race.
Todd was impressed by Gingrich's determination to press on against tall odds last summer when a most of the former Speaker's staff resigned en mass, leaving their candidate on his own to run his campaign.

Todd said that Newt’s ability to overcome that obstacle and still rise in the polls demonstrated that Gingrich is a survivor. Todd Palin knows something about survival. After a high-speed crash left him with a broken arm and broken sled, he still had the fortitude to not only finish the 2008 edition of the world's longest, toughest snow machine ( that's "snowmobile" to lower 48'ers) endurance race, but to do so in fourth place. Todd added that Gingrich, unlike the typical “beltway types,” “burst out of the political arena and touched many Americans.”

Update: Todd Palin will go On The Record tonight at 9:00PM Texas Time to discuss his endorsement of Speaker Newt Gingrich with Greta Van Susteren.
