Sarah Palin Goes Rogue Against the GOP
Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor who quit in the middle of her elected term, is endorsing a third party candidate in New York’s 23rd congressional district, because the official GOP candidate doesn’t meet her standards for ideological purity (in other words, Dede Scozzafava is pro-choice): Palin backs Hoffman in NY-23.
Former Alaska GOP Gov. Sarah Palin on Thursday endorsed Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman over Dede Scozzafava, the Republican Party’s choice, in the special election for New York’s 23rd congressional district.
“The people of the 23rd Congressional District of New York are ready to shake things up, and Doug Hoffman is coming on strong as Election Day approaches! He needs our help now,” Palin wrote in a statement that will be posted on her Facebook page late Thursday.
