Sarah Palin Looking Into Making Florida Senate Race Endorsement

Sarah Palin will be in Florida as part of her Going Rogue book tour next Tuesday (but only the "Real America" parts of Florida, so sadly she won't make it down South), but will she drop off an endorsement in the Senate race while she's here?

Palin tells National Review Online that she's looking into it.

She suggests, meanwhile, that there might be encouraging news coming Marco Rubio's way. She says she's had a chance to look at the Crist-Rubio race "just on the surface." But she adds, "I'm just being asked about it really in the last week or two, so I'll dig more into it. I'll find out what the guys are holding in terms of positions and see where maybe I can help."

Marco Rubio has already said he would love to have Palin's endorsement, and earlier in the interview Palin says, "What I love about the Republican party is how we invite -- or at least we should be inviting -- healthy competition in our primaries."

So it seems that a Rubio endorsement is much more likely than a Crist endorsement.

The Palm Beach Post is speculating that this could be another front on the ongoing McCain/Palin war, as John McCain has already endorsed Charlie Crist.

Crist is a SOCIALIST RINO and Obama supporter. Palin should endorse the true Conservative, Rubio!! Rubio for Senate in 2010!!!
Rubio doestn need her endorsement to win the primary. It may hurt him in the general. The best endorsement Rubio got this week was when Crsit admitted he couldnt be on stage in a one on one debate agaisnt Rubio!! Its Rubio vs the RINO in the primary! The Rino is the one in love with Obama and the major donors like Mori Hosseini of ICI homes. Crist steals our Florida Forever preservation funds and gives them to his developer friends. NOw he wants us to bail out freight and developers with a Sun rail project dressed up as a mass transit issue. No thanks!!
Let's get this straight. The GOP did not lose NY23 because Sarah Palin endorsed Hoffman. The GOP lost because they failed to listen to their base and endorsed an extreme liberal who after seeing the writing on the wall endorsed the Democrat. She even made Robo calls for Owen. She is being investigated as we speak for possible illicit deal that she may have made with Nancy Pelosi to endorse Owens, it has to do with financial gain. The GOP pumped 900 million into that campaign. 300 of which was used to attack Hoffman. On election night, she was still on the ticket and got 5% of the vote roughly 6000 votes. Votes that would have easily gone to Hoffman. And now with the voting errors that were discovered, Owen's lead is only about 2000 ahead with absentee ballots left to count. Consider this and take out the Dede factor and it would have put Hoffman over the top So quit gloating. The NRCC whom previously backed Christ, has now stated that it will not campaign for him or support his campaign financially. Sounds to me like they are beginning to pay attention to their base. Rubio has been gaining steadily and with the backing of high profile conservatives, his chances of defeating the RINO are excellent!
I thought she is friend of Crist.
Please, please Sarah, endorse Marco. That would be the best thing that could happen for the Democrats! And by the way, I'd love for your to run in 2012 and get trounced by Obama/Biden. Your ghost written book gave me an idea. Remember Operation Chaos that Rush started in 2008. Well for 2012, we've got Operation You Betcha.

Mr. Rubio may want to check out the results of the 23rd Congressional district race in NYS this year. The Republican (aka Conservative)lost a seat that had been in Republican hands since the civil war and that was with Ms. Palin's endorsement and media spin. As they say, watch what you ask for.......you may very well get it. I'm sure Bill Owens was happy with her endorsement.
