Yes, She Really Did Endorse Rand

Sarah Palin, in a statement to Politico, said that she is "proud" to endorse Dr. Rand Paul. Paul had issued a press release earlier today announcing Palin's endorsement and a contribution from her political action committee, but the lack of a statement from Palin caused speculation about whether she had in fact endorsed Paul.

Palin said "While there are issues we [she and Paul] disagree on, he and I are both in agreement that it's time to shake up the status quo in Washington and stand up for common sense ideas."
