Sarah Palin’s Biggest Gamble

Following up on the earlier post about Sarah Palin’s endorsement of Christine O’Donnell, I have spoken to a few sources, one of whom described this as “the longest of long shots,” a decision based not on political calculation but as a matter of “pure principle.” Another source pointed out that Rush Limbaugh might have had an influence, […]
