Palin Backs Tea Party Favorite Joe Miller for Alaska GOP Senate Nod
By Fox News.
Sarah Palin is throwing her support behind Tea Party favorite Joe Miller in the looming Republican primary for the Alaska Senate race.
The former Alaska governor and GOP vice presidential nominee announced her support Friday in a written statement, provided to Fox News.
The statement said:
“To restore liberty, to defend our Constitution, to build American exceptionalism, we must send fighters to the U.S. Senate who will stop Barack Obama’s fundamental transformation of the nation we love. The status quo has got to go, and in Alaska the man who understands this key to our state and country’s future also has the guts, wisdom, experience and optimism to fight for what is right — and win.
“We said we’d send the good guys in Washington their reinforcements, so, Alaska, here we go! Vote for Joe Miller on Tuesday and shake off the liberal stronghold so we can get on the right track.”

Governor Sarah Palin Endorses Joe Miller for U.S. Senate
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin announced her endorsement of Joe Miller for U.S. Senate. On Fox News earlier today she said, “To restore liberty, to defend our Constitution, to build American exceptionalism, we must send fighters to the U.S. Senate who will stop Barack Obama’s fundamental transformation of the nation we love. The status quo has got to go, and in Alaska the man who understands this key to our state and country’s future also has the guts, wisdom, experience and optimism to fight for what is right — and win.
“We said we’d send the good guys in Washington their reinforcements, so, Alaska, here we go! Vote for Joe Miller on Tuesday and shake off the liberal stronghold so we can get on the right track.”
Miller responded to the endorsement, “I want to thank Governor Palin for backing my candidacy at this crucial time in the race. She, like many Alaskans, has looked at the the candidates vying for the Republican nomination, and recognized I am the candidate who will go to Washington, stand up to the DC Establishment, and fight to restore freedom to the people.”
Miller campaign spokesman Randy DeSoto added, “I believe one reason we are seeing such a groundswell of support and endorsements as the election nears is because of what Alaskans have seen during the debates. Joe’s opponents are hedging on issues like protecting the unborn (neither was willing to support Rand Paul’s Life at Conception Act in the debate last night), amnesty, climate change, whether Barack Obama has committed impeachable offenses, and the list goes on…”
Miller concluded, “I am proud to stand with Governor Palin in the fight for freedom.”
