Long-distance call from Alaska?
Published: November 3, 2009
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin made a long-awaited entry into the Virginia governor’s race via an automated call to as many as 350,000 state residents urging them to vote.
The calls are among about 600,000 coordinated through the Virginia Faith and Freedom Coalition, said state Sen. Stephen H. Martin, R-Chesterfield, chairman of the coalition. It is an affiliate of a national group organized by Ralph Reed, former executive director of the Christian Coalition.
Martin said the coalition does not endorse candidates or parties. He said Palin, the GOP’s 2008 vice-presidential nominee, talks about “shared principles” in her call.
A spokesman for Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell said: “It’s not our call.“

I love how they buried this article.
I would love to hear from Sarah Palin! I voted for Bob McDonnell because I’m a common sense conservative.
Another reason not to vote for McDonnell. Maybe he will quit to before his term is up.
Not only that, she doesn’t mention Bob’s name. Just exactly who is snubbing who here?
