Description | Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor, has waded into another Republican primary, this time endorsing Rand Paul’s Kentucky Senate campaign.
In a statement released Monday, Ms. Palin said she was “proud to support great grassroots candidates like Dr. Paul,” an ophthalmologist and son of Representative Ron Paul, the Texas Republican and 2008 presidential candidate.
“While there are issues we disagree on, he and I are both in agreement that it’s time to shake up the status quo in Washington and stand up for common sense ideas,” Ms. Palin added.
For his part, Dr. Paul on Monday touted the leadership of Ms. Palin, who is scheduled to give the keynote address at the National Tea Party Convention this week. “I will strive to capitalize on the support of Governor Palin and so many others to go to Washington and fight for liberty and limited government,” said Dr. Paul, himself a favorite among Tea Party activists. |
