It is all over!
In a much-awaited development, Sarah Palin’s husband, Todd Palin, has just announced to a with-bated-breath-waiting world that he is endorsing Newt Gingrich for president.
According to ABC News, “Todd Palin said he believes that being in the political trenches and experiencing the highs and lows help prepare a candidate for the future and the job of president.”
King maker Palin bases his critical, much-coveted endorsement on the fact that Gingrich was able to overcome the setback to his campaign last summer when a large portion of his staff resigned and Gingrich was left pretty much by himself to run the campaign:
Gingrich’s ability to overcome the obstacle and still move up in the polls showed his ability to campaign and survive, according to Todd Palin, who said Gingrich is not one of the typical “beltway types” and that his campaign has “burst out of the political arena and touched many Americans.”
In light of this critical, make-or-break endorsement, all other presidential candidates are reassessing their campaigns to see whether it is worth continuing to run against now-sure-winner Gingrich.
