Sarah Palin endorses Rep. Jeff Flake over tea partier in AZ Senate

By Rachel Rose Hartman, Yahoo! News | The Ticket – 10 mins ago

Bucking her tea party predilection yet again this cycle, Sarah Palin on Monday endorsed Republican Rep. Jeff Flake over Wil Cardon in the Arizona Senate primary.

"Credited by many as the leading anti-earmark crusader in the House, Jeff has fought hard against pork barrel spending-- often times casting one of the few GOP 'no' votes on bloated spending measures," the 2008 Vice Presidential nominee and former Alaska governor wrote in her endorsement letter. "He's not afraid to 'go rogue' against his own party and its leadership; and even though he has sometimes suffered the consequences from GOP leaders for failing to toe the party line, yet he continues to fight for what is right."

Palin earlier this year rankled tea partiers when she chose to back sitting Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch over tea party challenger former state Sen. Dan Liljenquist. Hatch easily bested Liljenquist in the June 26 primary.

Cardon, a wealthy businessman, has been angling for the conservative support in the open Republican primary, where voters will choose a successor to retiring Republican Sen. Jon Kyl. Flake has amassed high-profile establishment support from Kyl and Sen. John McCain, as well as from the fiscally conservative Club for Growth. Opponents have attacked Flake on immigration during the primary campaign.

Multiple candidates are competing in the Aug. 28 Republican race.
Democrats are banking on former U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona, a war hero of Hispanic descent who served as Surgeon General under President George W. Bush.

Of course she did. Sarah Palin is John McCain's stooge. They allow her on TV all the time and when that happens you can count on the person being in the pocket of the Globalists that are using both Republicans and Democrats to wreck America.

The Globalists own the television real estate and for you to be on there turf regularly you have to be in their pocket.

Sarah Palin is in the pocket of big oil companies and the CFR.

Why bother endorsing anyone? Flake was already going to win by 20 points.

Because now if he wins she can feel important and claim that she got him elected.
