Sarah Palin Endorses Newt (Sort Of)

I think Team Newt will take it and move on.

“I I had to vote in South Carolina in order to keep this think going I’d vote for Newt.”

Video of full statement here.

Endorsements in general are overrated but Newt gets Palin and Mitt gets McCain...Advantage Newt.

As a Newt supporter I'm pretty happy about this. Yes, as some of you may know I'm not exactly the biggest Palin fan in the world, no it's true, but this is very good news for Newt*. After a week of his lame Bain attacks people were wondering again just how conservative Newt was. I think that's a pretty strange question, especially if you think Mitt is even remotely better but it was out there. Palin's stamp of approval helps put that to rest.

Romney is still the favorite going into Saturday's vote but after last night's debate, tonight's Palin news and another debate on Thursday...this might not be over yet.

*When it comes to these kinds of things I take the Churchillian view, "If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons". So...Go Palin!
