| Description | Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) said Wednesday evening that Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown (R) might not face a primary challenge like other GOP lawmakers who have voted with Democrats.
Palin has backed a number of candidates in congressional races this cycle who are favorites of the Tea Party movement. One of her beneficiaries, Joe Miller, leads Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R) in the state's Senate primary with vote counting still underway.
But Palin suggested Brown might not face the same type of scrutiny.
“That’s Massachusetts and perhaps they are not going to look for such a hardcore constitutional conservative there, and they are going to put up with Scott Brown and the antics there," she said Wednesday evening on Fox Business Network. "But up here in Alaska and in so many places across the U.S., where we have a pioneering independent spirit and an expectation that the representative in D.C. will respect the will of the people and the intelligence of the people; we wouldn’t stand for that." |
