Some Palin Fans Unhappy With Fiorina Endorsement

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) ― Ex-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has outraged some of her fans with an endorsement of former Hewlett-Packard executive Carly Fiorina in the GOP's U.S. Senate primary in California.

The former vice presidential candidate made the endorsement on her Facebook page, saying Fiorina's experience running a major corporation is sorely lacking in Washington.

In endorsing Fiorina, Palin snubbed third party candidate Chuck DeVore, a favorite of the tea party movement.

More than 7,300 Palin fans clicked the "Like" button on the Facebook endorsement. But most of the 1,700 comments from Palin's 1.5 million-plus Facebook supporters -- many among the tea party faithful -- pleaded in Facebook comments for Palin to change her endorsement.

1. What did thosed idiots think she would do?

Big businesses over their beliefs? Palin will always choose big business.

5. And she has a 100% NRA rating

I'm not sure how Mrs. Palin divined that, but since she said it, it must be true, even though Fiorina has never held elective office, and has therefore never voted on an NRA-rated bill. But her rating is 100%! Believe it!

So, does Mrs. Palin stand by her endorsement, and alienate some of her rabid fan base? Or does she cave to pressure and withdraw her endorsement (or worse, change it) and basically admit that she didn't have a clue when she endorsed Fiorina?

Answer: Whichever course Mrs. Palin calculates will make more money for her.

6. I think it's probably a simple explanation

Fiorina came up with the most money to pay Palin for her endoresement.
