I wonder if they call this a Post-Palin Endorcement

Within the last few weeks someone (I think a columnist for National Review) said this was a "Post-Palin Election". I wonder if the people in the magazine realize Palin is the only reason McCain had a chance ian 2008. Bill Bacuckley would have never made that cheap shot.

Now the Governor has come and endorsed a real conservative for a senate seat that has been occupied by a RINO for six terms and who actually was shocked that people expected him to live in the state he represents. But now some new news:

As the Tea Party continues to challenge comfortable incumbents across the country, Gov. Sarah Palin has shaken up the race for U.S. Senate in Indiana by endorsing state Treasurer Richard Mourdock over Sen. Richard Lugar in the Republican primary.

Palin wrote on her Facebook page:
Richard Mourdock is the conservative choice for Indiana. Senator Lugar’s 36 years of service as a Senator are appreciated, but it’s time for the torch to pass to conservative leadership in Washington that promises to rein in government spending now.

One of the biggest issues in the campaign--aside from a controversy about Lugar's residency--has been Lugar's support for both of President Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominees, despite concerns about their left-wing records and philosophical beliefs.

Palin's emphasis on conservative beliefs reflects the debate that is taking place within the Republican Party in Indiana and nationwide, as well as a general weariness--shared by all voters--with long-term incumbents...

Lugar your time has come and gone. Decades ago to be exact. You, Bennett, Specter and McCain are exactly the RINOs we don't need right now and you are the problem if that's not obvious. So again man, don't go away mad...just go away.
