Gingrich Have Inside Track on Palin Endorsement?…

Via Real Clear Politics:

Almost immediately upon Sarah Palin’s announcement that she would not seek the Republican nomination for president, the phone calls from almost all of the GOP candidates began pouring in. They wanted her endorsement.

While Palin has characteristically kept her cards close to her chest, advisers suggest that the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee is likely to endorse before someone emerges as the inevitable nominee — and that Newt Gingrich appears to be best-positioned to secure her support.

“They speak very favorably of Newt and what they see as his credentials as compared to Perry and Romney,” one member of Palin’s inner circle said of the former Alaska governor and her husband, Todd, who has long served as her unofficial chief adviser.

Gingrich has been particularly effusive in expressing his admiration for Palin over the last few months, and she has returned the favor by heaping praise on the former House speaker.

“Newt Gingrich again, I think, did the best because he seems to be above a lot of the bickering that goes on,” Palin said on Fox News after a Republican debate in Las Vegas last month, adding that Gingrich would “clobber” President Obama in a general election debate.

    Ah, to be those cards, so close to that chest…

    Madam, with all due respect, please don’t do it. You have nothing to gain and much to lose by tying yourself to Newt.

    Ah yes…all those “insiders” of the Palin camp…all those anonymous insiders.

    She won’t endorse during the primary run, because she has always said the primaires are important for vetting candidates and for allowing the electorate to have choices.

    When some “insider” puts their name behind their crap, I might take it seriously.

    I hope she won’t endorse the professional political hack Gingrich. If he wasn’t a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the NWO U.S. headquarters, I might vote for him if the choice was Newt or Obama. With Obama, the country gets destroyed quickly. With Newt, it might take a little longer. Neither option sounds good to me.

    Right now, Paul, or Santorum just might be the right choice—for me anyway.

    I am really worried. I have said for a long time that I was for Newt. I have tried to take up for his immigration policy. But I simply can’t think of a way letting some stay here can be done in a fair way. It is simply impossible.
    But I am seriously concerned that we are going to end up giving the election to Obama by being so particular. If Obama gets the presidency again, he will totally ruin this country. He doesn’t have much more to go. And four more years is signing the death warrant of the United States. This man has been set up to destroy this country, and he is doing just that. He has Soros, and who knows how many other billionaires,plus the news media that sings his praises constantly.
    Perry goofed, and immediately, he was out, Cain is great, but totally inexperienced. Newt is brilliant, but now everyone is against him.
    Please people, we simply must get behind a candidate, and push him big time. We MUST defeat Obama.

    Sarah lost about 2/3 of my interest and respect when she decided not to run, saying being a president is just a label. If she supports Newt or Mittens, she’ll lose the other third.

    I won’t vote for Newtie,..no matter what!

    He’s a globalist, illegal alien loving sob and a member of the CFR and I don’t give a damn how smart he is, he’ll finish what MaoBami started.

    Earlier Newt bungling had been quieted down, but his convoluted attempt
    to be all things to all illegals the other night was a big blunder. Guess the
    only candidates who are against this long drawn out ilegal invasion are those at the bottom of the people’s choices! Sad that we may again have a choice between two clowns, one more communist and islamist than the other …. but
    still clowns.

    Build that “danged fence” now — or we cannot believe anyone anymore!

    This is nothing more or less than a writer attempting to tie Palin to Gingrich in the interest of gaining votes.

    It’s pretty obvious, and pretty bush-league.

  11. GrumpyOne says:

    Believe me folks… If you wake up on the day after election day and Newt is the winner I promise you that you will hate him along with the majority of Americans that voted for him.

    While I will willingly admit that he’s a smart guy, that’s all he has to offer. The rest of Newt comprises of excess baggage, over active ego, bullying and leans towards the left more than may be apparent.

    Be very careful for what you wish for…

    I don’t know. But one prophet says the next president will be a woman. If Newt dies or what, we’ll see if it comes true, or else he’s NOT a prophet.

    In the primary? I doubt it. If he wins the nomination, certainly.

    Sorry I met the man in person and think he is a smart man, but he hasn’t used it and done more to vote agaist the USA than helping.

    I’m voting for a real change, I want a non life politician, we keep voting for the same politicians and are dispointed when we get the same old stuff.

    hmh…

    I’m with you…that’s why I liked Cain, still do…but whoever has a hold of him now behind the scenes better be let go…he wasn’t his natural self the other night in the debate…at all. And his natural self is what millions of us found refreshing. We don’t need the same old PC pol….we want someone who hasn’t been that…and screw the msm, along with the big-wig RINOs behind the scenes.

    …I don’t know, I about give up anymore at times.

    No Newtie for me….but that’s how I’ve felt about him for so many years now I lost count.

    First you all say you want someone who is not a politician; then tomorrow you complain about Obama because he has no experience. The non-pols lost in 2008, remember? Old Newt can’t even take off his suitcoat because his fat gut sticks out and he walks like he is following his stomach. Smart yes, good debater, yes but we are not depending on a debater to run the country. We have that now!! Newt has baggage and the Repubs got rid of him once…lobbyist oops I meant consultant and connected to the housing market fiasco, massive Tiffany spending, the ugliest plastic bleached blonde babe I have ever seen, makes Moochie look good, and more. Conservatives have been advised to not push a too right candidate or you will lose. Doesn’t anyone ever learn from the past? Good article, think a link on Newsbusters, about the fact that more conservatives voted for McCain and they did not stay home. Quoted numbers and facts in the polling records. Definition of stupid: doing the same thing over and over and getting the same results.

    PS I don’t care who Palin endorses, she should shut her pie hole since she has decided not to run. Wants to be the spoiler maybe.

    Well, Judith, it was not her pie hole being quoted here, now was it? Some anonymous insider. Maybe you should shut your pie hole.

    Those of you who personally know Sarah Palin….
    Please inform her that:

    Newt is trying the same failed mistake that McCain did, groveling to and pandering to illegals for their votes.* McCain thought that, by groveling to illegals, they would vote for him. Illegals vote exactly the way The National Communist La Raza** (NCLR) tells them to vote – and that’s strictly Democrat.

    Please inform Gov. Palin, that more Americans die at the hands of illegals each year than those who were killed in the entire Iraq war to date.

    Bartholomew Roberts

    * Millions and millions of illegals were registered to vote back during the mob demonstrations. Acorn registered them, funding by our tax dollars. As voters, each illegal votes about 6-12 times on election day by being bussed from precinct to precinct – transportation paid for by Acorn.

    **NCLR demands the violent overthrow of our constitution, ceding of all states west of the Mississippi river to Mexico, and subsequent murder of anglos who fail to leave in 48 hours. NCLR enjoys taxpayer funding.

    @CT
    “I will be voting for Newt.”

    OK, let’s get this straight, now. You’re gonna vote for Newt and you don’t know why, right? You somehow missed Newt’s announcement demanding amnesty [it becomes amnesty] for Mexican border jumpers. Or, maybe amnesty is your reason. Let’s figure you out.

    hussein soetoro obastard already demands amnesty and citizenship for illegals.
    Romney demands exactly the same things as soetoro, unconditional amnesty for all border jumpers.
    Now Newt ‘s on the amnesty bandwagon.
    Romney and Newt are delusional if they think illegals will ever vote Republican. (yes, illegals vote, see my previous message).

    Given that Newt now demands amnesty for border jumpers, so what the hell’s your problem? You brain dead or just brainwashed by ayatollah-obama?

    hell, man, I was thinking about voting for Newt until he drank obama’s kook aid!!! At least he’s honest about it, I’ll give him that.

    Hello Judity,
    RE:
    “Definition of stupid: doing the same thing over and over and getting the same results.”

    Well, yeah! Definition of stupid is expecting Mexican border jumpers to vote for you, and groveling to Mexicans. Romney and Newt! Who’s next?

    Prediction, Dear Judith, and this doesn’t leave this website!

    It’s common knowledge that Donald Trump will run as 3rd party. Do you think that you-know-who will be his VP candidate?

    I believe your prediction regarding Trump has about the same value as your efforts to demonize Gingrich. I’ll mark this page and wait, and let time provide the judgment.
