Sarah Palin hints at GOP primary fights in 4 states
Source: USA Today
Sarah Palin doesn't seem discouraged that her candidate lost New Jersey's Senate race or by the pummeling Republicans took during the government shutdown.
Now, the former Alaska governor and darling of the Tea Party movement is suggesting conservatives should focus on Senate races in Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee and Mississippi where the Republican incumbent is up for re-election next year.
"Friends, do not be discouraged by the shenanigans of D.C.'s permanent political class today," Palin posted on her Facebook page early Thursday, as the federal government reopened and hours after Democrat Cory Booker defeated Republican Steve Lonegan for Senate in New Jersey.
"Be energized," she said. "We're going to shake things up in 2014. Rest well tonight, for soon we must focus on important House and Senate races. Let's start with Kentucky which happens to be awfully close to South Carolina, Tennessee and Mississippi from sea to shining sea we will not give up. We've only just begun to fight."

It is amazing that the suicide caucus believes that they are coming out of his even stronger, and are now trying to make the Republican party even more ultra-conservative.

this pretending to be a part of the GOP is getting pretty old, even for me...
our party system is going to have to change if we want change in this country...
if we could get 3-4 parties, with the two extremes represented and one or two 'centrist' parties... we might just end up with a functional coalition style government

Right now, he's looking right past his primary challenger and acting like we're already in a general election.

And ironically, that may be the very thing that made him work to strike a deal. His opponent is running ads right now saying he's an obstructionist. That's going to backfire now.

(1,325 posts)I didn't think the Solid/Stupid South would be up for grabs next year... but if her hand-picked idiots win, then even Mississippi shouldn't be discounted. I'm not saying MS and KY don't have standards- their political standards are low, and anyone Stupid Palin latches onto will be so crazy, even voters in MS and KY will say 'hell nah!' to them!
I never said Landrieu was perfect, but she's a godsend compared to Palin.
