Captured: Palin’s Robocall For Endorsed Nebraska Senate Candidate Deb Fischer

Here is the candidate Sarah Palin has endorsed for the Nebraska GOP primary for senator and the just-captured robocall for her (at bottom of post, after the video interview and newspaper article.) If Palin gets the underdog Fischer over the line as she did with Mourdock in Indiana and Cruz in Texas, her power will be awesome and unchallengeable. She will also be building up quite a number of high profile congresspeople who have her to thank for their election with an eye on her possible 2016 presidential run.

Fischer rides momentum in tight U.S. Senate race

The race for Nebraska’s next United States senator has taken a dramatic turn. Some polls show Deb Fischer closing the gap on long time leader John Bruning.

News 5’s Katie Gauthier went to Lincoln Friday to talk to Fischer.

After previously running ads directed mainly towards Don Stenberg, John Bruning is now running an ad targeting both of his top opponents.

Deb Fischer held a news conference today to call on Bruning to pull the ad.

This new ad has a big response from opponent Deb Fischer.

“Mr. Bruning’s sinking in the polls and now he’s resorting to these last minute attack ads to bring me down,” Fischer said.

Some say the ad points out that Bruning now sees Fischer as a top competitor.

“In fact, I had someone early on in this campaign ask me how are you going to know when you’re ahead in this race, when you’re the frontrunner? And I said when I get attacked,” said Fischer.

Recent polls even suggest Fischer’s rise to the top.

“We have great momentum. The polls are showing that this is a very, very tight race. I’ve received some great endorsements in the last couple days,” said Fischer.

And the third opponent, Don Stenberg agrees the race is tightening.

“I think John Bruning started with a lead of 30 points and I think that lead has shrunk down to almost nothing. So I think it’s a very competitive race,” said Stenberg.

And who does he think undecided voters will vote for?

“As they look at the race as they decide they don’t want John Bruning and I think many of them in the end are going to support Don Stenberg,” said Stenberg.

Saying that he still has a strong chance to win the votes.

Does Stenberg see Fischer as a main competitor?

“They just don’t know that much about Deb Fischer,” Stenberg said.

Perhaps the biggest push in Fischer’s campaign came Wednesday when Sarah and Todd Palin announced their endorsement for her campaign.

And now Nebraska United State’s Representative Jeff Fortenberry is backing Fishcer as well.

Voting takes place next Tuesday.

The Sarah Palin Bounce

Posted by Sarah Palin Web Brigade on May 12, 2012

In her  article  at Yahoo News, Mary Rose Hartman has coined a new term for the surge  in voter support seen after a Sarah Palin endorsement.   Just as she did for Deb Fischer in Nebraska,  Governor Palin endorsed Ted Cruz four days before the start of early voting.  Both experienced the “Sarah Palin bounce,”  as had Richard Mourdoch, who won his primary by a landslide after Governor Palin endorsed him as a Senate candidate.

Call it the Sarah Palin bounce: Hours after the 2008 vice presidential nominee endorsed Ted Cruz, a Republican candidate for U.S. senator from Texas, on Thursday morning, the staff at Cruz’s headquarters in Austin reported a swift and positive reaction.

Nick Dyer, the Central Texas/Youth Director for Cruz tweeted:

Campaign manager John Drogin confirmed by email to Yahoo News that Palin’s endorsement “has added HUGE buzz to our campaign.”

“Phones are ringing, online contributions are pouring in, and supporters are more excited than ever on our social networks,” Drogin wrote, adding that he’s seen a “flood” of donations but has yet to tally them.

Select reaction from Cruz’ Facebook page Thursday included:

“Fantastic endorsement. Congratulations. I support Sarah Palin, and after a lot of research I can honestly say you’re the man for this job,” wrote Facebook user  Charles Netterville. “Thank you for your willingness to help take on the establishment (Both sides) and return this great nation to its former glory.”

“Good choice Sarah! Sarah is a true Conservative and so is Ted! We need Ted representing Texas in DC!” wrote Barbara Rains Schroeder Hill.

Palin issued a public letter Thursday offering her endorsement of Cruz, who has earned support from national tea party groups including FreedomWorks and the Tea Party Express (groups that recently helped take down Republican Sen. Dick Lugar in Indiana).

Palin wrote:

Your conservative principles, passionate defense of our Constitution and our free market system come at a time when these cornerstones of our freedom and prosperity are under attack. Our shared goal isn’t just to change the majority in control of the Senate, but to assure principled conservatives like you are there to fight for us.

Cruz, the former solicitor general of Texas and the first Hispanic to serve in that position, is one of nine Republicans running for their party’s nomination. (Current Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison is retiring.)

Drogin noted the beneficial timing of Thursday’s endorsement: four days before early voting is set to begin in Texas.

Palin’s endorsement was a coveted prize in the 2010 election, when the former Alaska governor campaigned for tea party conservatives across the country even when they faced established Republican incumbents. Palin has earned the same reputation this cycle and already saw one major candidate she endorsed, Richard Mourdock, achieve victory in Indiana.

The New Face of Civility: Hater Wants Sarah Palin “Offed”

Posted by Jackie Siciliano on May 12, 2012

offed – Verb: Kill;  murder.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.  In this case, here’s about five thousand words for you to take a look at and then slowly let them sink in.

I suppose @mariah_reloaded thinks that it’s very cool to post a tweet inciting violence against Sarah Palin.  After all, if the left did not have Sarah Palin to bash and threaten, whatever would they do with their time?  Soon after posting that tweet, @mariah_reloaded starts having second thoughts upon realizing that blogger Michael Sheppard has captured the above tweet and written a story about it here.  @mariah_reloaded begins to rationalize her use of the word “offed” by tweeting “like I didn’t say I’d do it“.  Apparently @mariah_unloaded does not understand the meaning of “inciting violence”.  The inciter (in this case, @mariah_reloaded) is the one who tweets the suggestion of “offing Palin” thus she seeks to influence the mind of another to commit a crime.

Further conversation with Twitter friends brings @mariah_reloaded to determine that she should probably delete her account.

And delete the account she does!  @mariah_reloaded changes the name on her account and locks it down so that her tweets are no longer public.

Original Twitter account profile:

New Twitter profile with same owner description and web blog address listed:

Is this an example of the “civil discourse” that President Obama has suggested? Is this where we are as a nation and is this the path we really want to take?  Is this a “content of character” moment?  At a point in my life where I thought I would have more answers than questions, sadly the questions I still have outnumber the answers.
