If she is going to use my research, I am going to reprint her article: (Thanks for permission to post!)
From Our New Cornerstone – Sarah Palin
When a colleague was thinking about doing a series of articles about the 2009 elections to see how many Democrats we could replace before the mid-term elections of next year, I offered my help with some of the research. Before I could complete that research and her article was published successfully, the health care plans were released and the focus had to be changed.
After reading the last line of Sarah’s Facebook entry regarding Chris Daggett, I asked her if I could use just the section from the research about the three primary candidates in the NJ governor’s race. She agreed.
In case you don’t know why Mr. Daggett would be trying to spread the lies Sarah is discussing, (see her latest entry on her Facebook page or on the Sarah Writes page of this blog) I want to provide the results of what would have been a very good article had it been completed.
The plan was to take each of the candidates and condense their talking points into a paragraph. From the working copy of the research page, I have borrowed this information:
Chris Christie and Kimberly M. Guadagno – Republican
Main Talking Point: Reform the Government. He plans to do this by eliminating the Legislature’s conflicts of interest, loopholes to strengthen laws banning pay-to-play, and demanding greater transparency and accountability from government officials. Highlights from Mr. Christie’s plan to cut taxes are to provide property tax relief, providing an across-the-board cut for all taxpayers, an additional cut or tax credit for New Jersey-based small businesses, and reducing the corporate business tax rate. He is pro-life and wants to reduce abortions in New Jersey through laws such as parental notification, a 24-hour waiting period and a ban on partial-birth abortion. Mr. Christie is opposed to same-sex marriage but has no issue with sharing contractual rights. He indicates that if a bill were presented to him to legalize same-sex marriage, he would veto the bill and support a constitutional amendment on the ballot to be decided by the voters
Jon S. Corzine and Loretta Weinberg – Democratic
Reading the information provided on the websites of the other candidates, I get the impression that the incumbent, Mr. Corzine, is not a particularly popular candidate at this time. I would consider his main Talking Point to be “a forward-looking, progressive agenda”. From reading his website, I gather that he thinks very highly of the “international acclaim” he brought to New Jersey after signing legislation allowing civil unions for same-sex couples, and repealed the death penalty. Corzine has also signed into law initiatives designed to give the uninsured better access to healthcare services, and a measure making New Jersey the third state in the nation to allow workers to take paid leave to tend to a personal or family emergency. These are all fairly popular achievements with some of his supporters, but he does have a large group of detractors who seem to focus on these same issues.
Christopher J. Daggett and Frank J. Esposito – Independent for NJ
If you want the candidate you support to be a strong environmentalist (on the Green Party side) Mr. Daggett is your candidate. He has a comprehensive plan to tighten ethics rules and to reform government including eliminating pension and health care benefits for part-time elected officials and expanding pay-to-play rules for all levels of government, including school boards. If he has a single Talking Point, I think it would be energy. He has received the Sierra Club endorsement among others. Mr. Daggett seems to be firm on education reform by announcing a plan holding teachers more accountable by eliminating lifetime tenure and abolishing a controversial “back door’’ policy allowing failing pupils to earn a high school diploma.
Many people are not aware that this is the first election in the State of New Jersey for a Lieutenant Governor. They haven’t had one until now. That in itself is interesting to me. I don’t know why they have decided that they need one now, but that is none of my business and I have no intention of “going there”.
Suffice to say the fact that Mr. Daggett uses much of the Green Party platform for many of his energy plans is reason enough for me to suspect his Independent candidacy. Many people are not very fond of a Green Party reference these days, and it could be that the New Jersey voters feel that way.
If I remember correctly there have been several incidences where radical behavior on the part of the Green Party caused fear and intimidation. Perhaps that is the reason Mr. Daggett has chosen to use a different political label. That is only my opinion since I live miles from New Jersey and have no personal contact whatsoever with Mr. Daggett or his campaign.
Maybe Mr. Daggett is trying to find someone to blame for his sagging poll numbers and is appealing to all the people who are frightened of Sarah Palin and the power she carries with the Conservative people of the United States. Maybe he thinks that by invoking Sarah’s name in an attempt to keep her opinions out of New Jersey politics he will avoid the same fate the Republican candidate did in the race for US Congress from NY-23.
Mr. Daggett, if that is the case, I have one thing to say to you. “Be careful.”
There is a larger Conservative voting base than you are expecting, and while you may have fooled some of the New Jersey voters into thinking that you are Conservative in some areas, you won’t fool Sarah Palin. By attempting to use the same Alinsky Rules for Radicals that the Democrats have used unsuccessfully against her and the Conservative voice of America, you may just write your own political epitaph.

Be Careful What You Wish For: Sarah Palin Calls Out Chris Daggett
by Clifton Bazar
Another Black Conservative -- http://anotherblackconservative.blogspot.com/
Another Black Conservative -- http://anotherblackconservative.blogspot.com/
This morning on MSNBC, Chris Daggett claimed he is being pressured by Republicans to drop out of the New Jersey governor’s race. He specifically mentioned Sarah Palin as one of the people pressuring him. This was a false claim and Sarah Palin has called out Daggett on her Facebook page this morning.
Check out Palin’s last line. Methinks Daggett should have kept his mouth shut on that one, because he has now given himself a self-inflicted wound.
From Sarah Palin’s Facebook page [emphasis added, mine]:
NJ’s Governor’s Race: Candidate Plays Loose With Facts?
Today at 9:43am
Despite what candidate Chris Daggett is claiming, I have never contacted him or his campaign. I have never asked him to drop out of the NJ Governor’s race. Now, if a politician is going to play loose with facts like this, the electorate needs to know it.
So, to the good people of New Jersey, please know that Daggett’s claims are false. I’ve never even suggested he should drop out of the race. But, come to think of it…
- Sarah Palin
Ouch! That’s gonna leave a mark! Since Daggett has brought up the subject, why doesn’t he just drop out? He is far behind both Corzine and Christie and has no chance of winning. If he really wants to see the end of the Corzine administration, then bow out now and let Chris Christie finish off Corzine.
Furthermore, if Daggett has come to the point of making things up, then he really isn’t the kind of governor New Jersey needs. New Jersey is facing an $8 billion budget shortfall and we need someone who is going to give it to us straight. Lying about Palin pressuring him to quit the race is a sure sign of things to come should by miracle of miracles he gets elected.
So with that, let me be the first to say: Drop Out Daggett!
Via: Real Clear Politics
Sarah Palin To NJ Candidate Chris Daggett: You Lie!
Well, well well. Looks like Chris Daggett, the third party candidate in the New Jersey Governor's race, who's only purpose is to see NJ punished with another term for ultra liberal Jon Corzine, is getting desperate. Daggett has zero chance of winning this election and is doing little more than taking away votes from Republican Chris Christie, who is in a dead heat with Corzine.
So what does he do? Well he is claiming that Sarah Palin contacted his campaign asking him to drop out. From Facebook, Sarah has a little message for Daggett:

I think Sarah's last sentence says it all: "But, come to think of it… "
Hey Chris, is the 'Cuda really someone you want angered at you? Is Sarah Palin really someone you want working against you? Ask DeDe Scozzafava and the GOP "elites" how that's working out for them!
Folks on the ground in NJ are asking Chris Daggett to drop out, for sure, and Sarah has endorsed Chris Christie, but this is crazy to pick a fight with the Arctic Fox!
See ya Chris, it was nice knowing you!
Sarah Palin to Chris Daggett: Oh No, I Didn't!

On Facebook, Governor Palin sets the record straight concerning the false claim made by New Jersey gubernatorial candidate, Chris Daggett.

Sarah Palin: A Time to Unite
Sarah Palin wants Americans to unite. From her Facebook page:
Time to Unite.
I want to personally thank Republican Dede Scozzafava for acting so selflessly today in the NY District 23 race. Now it's time to cross the finish line with Doug Hoffman so that he can get to work for District 23 and the rest of America.
With Congress poised to overhaul one-sixth of our economy with so-called health care “reform” (which is really a government takeover of health care) and with plans to enact a cap-and-tax bill just as our economy struggles to recover, Doug Hoffman will be a voice for fiscal responsibility and common sense in Washington.
We need candidates like Doug now more than ever. In these final days of the campaign, it's vital that Doug continue to receive the enthusiastic support of those who want to bring common sense to Washington. Let’s help make it happen! You can help Doug by visiting his official website today and offering your support:

This is indeed a time for America to unite. We face some tough days ahead. With the vote on ObamaCare, the largest power grab in history, legislation that will destroy the Republic as we know it, looming over us like a dark cloud, it's time to show Congress and the President that we mean business! Americans of all stripes need to come together and fight for the heart and soul of our great nation.
We can do this. While the battle in NY-23 isn't won quite yet, the latest polling has Doug Hoffman with a healthy lead. Now the democrats are pouring all they have in to defeat him. You can bet that ACORN and all of the rest will being flocking to NY-23!
Of course, many patriots are there as well, so please join in the fight and if you can't go and join them on the ground, send Doug some cash!

It goes without saying that none of this would have happened if Sarah hadn't endorsed Doug Hoffman. Once she made it the popular thing to do, everyone jumped on board. Look for a full recap to follow, but right now, lets get Doug over the finish line. We can celebrate later!
Somehow you just know the great Renaldus Magnus, who united America in his time, is looking down tonight and smiling approvingly at all of this.
Sarah Palin: A Time to Unite
Following is the complete transcript of Governor Palin's Facebook note pertaining to the self-removal of Republican Dede Scozzafava from the NY District 23 race:
Commentary:
Just nine days ago, Governor Palin lived by her Reagan Conservative principles, endorsed Doug Hoffman for Congress in New York State's District 23, and asked her supporters to donate to his campaign. Mr. Hoffman was trailing in the three-way race. Her endorsement triggered a 180-degree shift. Mr. Hoffman surged to the head of the race. He received -- minimally -- a $116K spike in donations, as Governor Palin's supporters answered her call. Today, the ACORN-backed RINO, Dede Scozzafava removed herself from the race entirely. Kudos to her for standing up and doing the right thing.
This is a major accomplishment on several grounds. First, it is living proof that the Republican Party will succeed if it returns to Reagan Conservative principles, but will continue to be a fractured and failed party by being "Democratic Lite," "moderate," or "walking across the aisle." Given the choice between a fake liberal and a real one, most people will go with the real one. At least they know what they are getting.
For Governor Palin, this is an accomplishment on the scale of securing Senator Saxby Chambliss' victory nearly 11 months ago. This accomplishment demonstrates that Governor Palin has clout and is a force to be reckoned with. She is a textbook Transformational Leader.
From a feminist perspective, this accomplishment is testament to her power as woman. Though Mr. Hoffman is most decidedly a man, it was HER endorsement that brought victory within reach. Being Governor Palin's accomplishment, it means that another glass ceiling was felled by her sonic boom.
This day, Saturday, October 31, 2009 is also historical for Governor Palin, for today, the purging and cleansing of the Republican Party has begun -- under her direction. She is consolidating her power. What is all the more brilliant? She did it with nothing more than a Facebook posting.
Now the next step is for Mr. Hoffman to finish the job and win this race.

Palin's Principles Prevail as Scozzafava Steps Aside
By Adrienne Ross - www.motivationtruth.com
Dede Scozzafava, Republican Candidate for the NY 23rd Congressional District, has now withdrawn from the race, as reported first by Robert Stacy McCain.
As you recall, Monday I posted an article called "Sarah Palin: Principles Over Party? In a New York Minute!" I discussed the fact that Scozzafava was not a candidate representing true conservative values, which is why Sarah Palin endorsed Conservative-Party candidate Doug Hoffman. Governor Palin chose principles over party. Others, including Fred Thompson, Rick Santorum, and Tim Pawlenty also made that choice, while Newt Gingrich chose to endorse Scozzafava, offering lame excuses, and Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee chose to say nothing at all.
This is what sets people like Sarah Palin apart from other politicians. Palin's endorsement created a stir, as everything she says always does. Gingrich said that as an outsider Palin and others had no right to go against the wishes of the GOP in New York who chose the candidate they wanted. Other talking-heads said that Hoffman's running on the Conservative ticket would only split the vote and ensure a victory for Democrat Bill Owens; to these confused souls, Palin would say this, as she wrote in her endorsement note on Facebook:
Somehow the talking-heads have missed that point.
Sarah has said time and again that Americans are tired of politics as usual. Conservatives are looking for people who will stand for something. We're seeking out those who don't sell out principles by endorsing someone who is the antithesis of what we are supposed to represent. And we are searching for leaders who don't go hide, refusing to say anything at all. We want people who will do what Governor Palin does: lay it all on the line and call it as she sees it.
Once again, she was right. She had no way of knowing the outcome; she merely acted on principles.
The race is not over. Election Day is Tuesday, and it'll be Hoffman vs. Owens. That still has to play out, but it was clear that Scozzafava was not going to win, so she pulled out, leaving a true conservative candidate in Hoffman. Sarah Palin's endorsement was one of a few important ones, but it seems to be the one that changed the face of the race. She created a shift for Hoffman--in support and finances--and she didn't wait until Hoffman had surpassed Scozzafava to do it or wait until Scozzafava backed out. Compare that to Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee who have now, just today, endorsed Hoffman.
Some so-called "experts" say Sarah Palin has no future in national politics and doesn't have the political savvy to be a serious force on the world stage. Well, for someone who's supposed to be the least of these, she sure is out in front, while people like Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee follow her lead.
