Palin Endorses Benishek

By Ed Brayton | 10.12.10 | 7:46 am

Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has endorsed Republican Dan Benishek in his race against Democrat Gary McDowell in the 1st Congressional District of Michigan. She posted the endorsement along with several others on her Facebook page:

There’s a lot of talk about the race in Michigan’s 1st Congressional District. Dr. Dan Benishek is the kind of commonsense voice we need in Washington to replace the retiring Bart Stupak. As a physician, he understands why Obamacare must be repealed and replaced with true health care reform. Dan is determined to work to get our country’s fiscal house in order. As a self-described “hunter and fisherman and proud member of the NRA,” he’s great for Michigan 1st District, which like Alaska, is home to outdoor enthusiasts who love their hunting and fishing.

Interesting that she specifically mentions the NRA and hunting as a reason to vote for Benishek, since the NRA has actually endorsed McDowell in the race.
