Chalk up another conservative base endorsement for ex-HP CEO Carly Fiorina, and it's a big one: Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

Palin posted her nod on her Facebook page...complete with an unnamed dis to Fiorina rival Tom Campbell as "a liberal member of the GOP who seems to bear almost no difference to Boxer."

Tsk, tsk, Sarah. You broke Reagan's 11th Commandment...about three sentences before praising Fiorina as a Reagan conservative.

Palin talks up Fiorina as growing up in a "modest home with a school teacher Dad." Uh, sort of. Fiorina's dad was a law professor who taught at A-list universities -- Yale, Stanford, Duke, Cornell, the London School of Economics -- that Sarah's peeps might sneer at by using the "e-word." Elite. Palin also doesn't mention that Fiorina studied several languages and attended the finest schools as her family traveled around the world.

Also: No mention of the "CEO" moniker or Fiorina's $21 million golden parachute she got from HP or the layoffs that went down while she was there.

But then again, that would spoil the parallels with Sarah's own moose field-dressing back story...which is the point of making political endorsements on your own Facebook page. It's your corner of history.

3. I don't see that being a big help in California. They might go back and forth politically but
I'm sure the general concensus is that Bible Spice is toxic trash.

5. FReepers are not happy :)
Checked out FR to see reaction, and notice that, for the first time since August 2008, palin is not one of their "Popular Keywords".



Hahahahahaha!! Yeah, those villainous "party leaders" are controlling Sarah with their powerful MIND CLUTCHING BRAIN WAVES!!!

It couldn't be she thinks Fiorina is the better candidate. No. You're right. They've GOT HER, OMG!!!!

But wait, Sarah must be a...a...I can't say it...she's a...a RINO!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
