Asked which big-name celebrity they would most like to have campaign for them, here’s what the two Republicans vying to become Rhode Island’s next governor — Victor Moffitt and John Robitaille — had to say last week.

A well-known ward heeler approached Rogero during that first Commission campaign and told her to "Take that campaign money and buy yourself something nice to wear, because you can't win this race."

Georgia congressman Jack Kingston says Palin is dividing the GOP.

 I think that Sarah Palin is just making sure that nobody will forget her before the presidental election in 2012. I tend to agree with the congressman in the article below that she is probably doing more harm than good by sticking her nose into every bit of Republican Party business there is. That's only my opinion, however and I'm no political pundit.

 Should Sarah Palin 'butt out' of GOP primaries?

Palin's push to support "Mama Grizzlies" is dividing the Republican Party at the worst possible time, says a GOP congressman

New York – At least one prominent Republican wishes that Sarah Palin would stop using her superstar status to endorse GOP candidates. Georgia congressman Jack Kingston took Palin to task for getting involved in his state's gubernatorial primary run-off — and pushing a once-fringe candidate, Karen Handel, into a tight second-place finish. "I don't know why [Palin] feels compelled to get into primaries all over the country," Kingston said on a talk radio interview, at one point agreeing that Palin should "butt out" of GOP primaries. "What she is doing is dividing the Republican Party at a time when we don't need to be divided," he said. Does he have a point?

Palin's endorsements are bad for the GOP: If the Republican Party allows Palin's "short checklist of slogan-ready, litmus-test issues" to shape its candidate lineup, says an editorial in The Washington Post, it will find itself in a "very snug tent" filled with "hard-core partisans" rather than candidates with "character [and] pragmatism." Palin's strategy is "so narrow that it amounts to self-marginalization."
