Vulnerable Republicans To Shun Sarah Palin Campaign Help?

The Lede from the Hill implies so. But, read the entire piece.

Republicans facing tough elections in 2010 don’t want Sarah Palin campaigning with them.

Though the soon-to-be-former Alaska governor is seen as popular with the conservative grass roots, several Republicans said she’d help them by staying home in Wasilla.

Several of these Republicans hail from districts or states carried in 2008 by President Obama, a frequent target of Palin’s criticism. Republicans must keep these districts and win others where Obama is popular if they are to gain seats next year.

GOP Rep. Lee Terry (Neb.), who squeaked out a victory despite his district’s overwhelming turnout for Obama, said he’d rather have House colleagues campaign for him than Palin.

“There’s others that I would have come in and campaign and most of them would be my colleagues in the House,” Terry said.

Politics is all about the money and Sarah Palin can turn out a crowd and bring in the bucks. I doubt any of these pols would turn down an event where they can bring in the campaign moolah.

This left-slanting piece self-corrects at the end with quotes from GOP Representative Roy Blunt and Senator Charles Grassley.

But, the headline is the headline and the MSM cannot help themselves in painting everything Palin as a negative.

Now, a real story will be when SarahPac starts supporting conservative candidates in contested GOP primaries to rid the party of some RINOS.
