You should know that a floor fight has been brewing for some time, and may come to a conclusion this afternoon (Tuesday, the 28th). It involves a divide between Status Quo (Palin’s term) and the more conservative elements within the party. At stake is the free progress of the tea-party influence on party politic in the future. Will the party determine that party nominees have more say over delegate representation than local and state organizations have had in the past. An initial vote, on Monday, was a defeat for this Establishment idea to take control of the party from its conservative constituency. Palin, Levine and Limbaugh have all spoken out on this matter. Here are comments from Sarah (facebook):
Palin wrote Monday night:
Had a great time today in Gilbert, Arizona, at a rally for Kirk Adams. It’s very important to pay attention to these down ballot races like Kirk Adams, Jeff Flake, and Paul Gosar in Arizona. We have to remember that this election is not just about replacing the party in power. It’s about who and what we replace it with. Grassroots conservatives know this. Without the energy and wisdom of the grassroots, the GOP would not have had the historic 2010 electoral victories. That’s why the controversial rule change being debated at the RNC convention right now is so very disappointing. It’s a direct attack on grassroots activists by the GOP establishment, and it must be rejected. Please follow the link to Michelle Malkin’s article about this.
