Sarah Palin still hasn't officially endorsed Newt Gingrich, but she's making it increasingly clear that she's pulling for the former House speaker to continue to cause headaches for Mitt Romney.
Her latest bumper-sticker-ready pitch to Republican voters: "Vote for Newt, annoy a liberal."
That comment came during an appearance on Fox News over the weekend, but has started to pick up steam around the Web on Monday, no doubt in large part thanks to an above-the-fold link on the Drudge Report.
"You gotta rage against the machine at this point in order to defend our republic and save what is good and secure and prosperous about our nation. We need somebody who is engaged in sudden and relentless reform and isn’t afraid to shake it up," Palin told host Jeanine Pirro in response to a question about how Gingrich can bill himself as a Washington outsider despite a resume full of inside-the-Beltway experience.
Palin continued: "So if for no other reason [than] to rage against the machine: Vote for Newt, annoy a liberal. Vote Newt. Keep this vetting process going, keep the debate going."
