Sarah gives the "Kiss" to Newt for Tuesday's vote. Says he'll be the one to beat the President.

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Tx4obama (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Sarah Palin is urging Florida voters to vote for Newt Gingrich on Tuesday in their state's Republican primary.

"Vote for Newt," Palin told Jeanine Pirro, host of the Fox News weekend program "Justice with Jeanine."

Palin made a passionate plea for Republican voters to reject Mitt Romney in Florida to keep the primary process going forward.

The former Alaska governor made it crystal clear that she favors former House Speaker Gingrich, suggesting that the Republican establishment in New York and Washington is trying to anoint former Massachusetts Gov. Romney the GOP nominee.

"And I say, you know, you’ve got to rage against the machine at this point in order to defend our republic and save what is good and secure and prosperous about our nation,” Palin said. “We need somebody who is engaged in sudden and relentless reform and is not afraid to shake up the establishment. So, if for no other reason, rage against the machine, vote for Newt, annoy a liberal, vote Newt, keep this vetting process going, keep the debate going.”

Here are key points Palin made on Fox:

I think I speak for many Democrats when I say I want Newt to pull off an upset in Florida on Tuesday.

perhaps she really does want Obama to win just to throw spit in the Republican Party's face for not supporting her.

....die-hard, steely-eyed Republicans, hurt by this meltdown and depression, realize that the wall-street boys with their repeal of Glass Steagall and their crony-capitalism has wrecked this economy and country....

....even god-pukes and baggers fully understand, that the rich wall-street Mormon will never create or enforce governmental rules curbing the excesses of his friends on wall-street....and without those rules, everyone remains hurt....

....I'll bet even Wal-Mart is tired of sluggish sales and doesn't like to be told by wall-street for whom to vote....

Please consider re-posting it in GD or Politics 2012 forum.

For future reference, OPs in LBN are required to have the 'published' headline used for the subject line.

Thank you.
