Palin endorses Wisconsin candidate
MADISON – Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is getting involved in a Wisconsin congressional race. Palin on Wednesday announced that she was endorsing fellow Republican Sean Duffy in his race against Democratic incumbent U.S. Rep. Dave Obey.
Palin made the announcement on her Facebook page. She calls Duffy a “brave soul” and a “daring David” who is taking on a “liberal Goliath.”
Obey has been in Congress representing Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District since 1969. The 37-year-old Duffy has been the Ashland County district attorney since 2002, a professional lumberjack and a former cast member on the 1997 MTV reality show “The Real World Boston.”

Unless anyone on here is from northern Wisconsin, we won't have any say on whether Duffy replaces Obey in Congress.

Hey BUNBUN--saying the tea party is not a republican movement is like saying china isn't communist.

I am sure Palin would love to have a battle of wits with you smart fellers... but then you would come unarmed.

"Well, at least he isn't a social conservative (he's being lambasted by other GOP candidate for being pro-gay). Odd, because I thought the whole point of the tea partiers was to force "real" Republicans to the fore."
.
proof that you know nothing about the TEA party. It is not a Republican or Democrat movement. If you attend one of the functions for the TEA party, you will find business people along side union workers who all think the government (state and fed) spend too much money. The TEA party is not about social issues.

I wouldn't vote for him based on the fact that he was in 'The Real World' but with Palin's endorsement that clinches it.

booch11 asked, "...don't you haters wonder why she pulls huge, wildly enthusiastic crowds wherever she goes?
I believe it is called Palinitis Ignoramus Syndrome.

Palin involved in politics is like a monkey picking stocks.
She should just spend her time endorsing eye glasses.

Palin's endorsement of Duffy ought to be worth a lot of votes for Obey.

I don't know much about Duffy, but I do know that Obey is the meanest person in Washington.
