Sarah Palin curses yet another Tea Party hopeful. This one running for Governor of Arizona. You know the state where she lives now.

Doug Ducey is the private sector job creator and proven conservative leader that Arizona needs as its next governor. A self-made man, Doug came to Arizona for college, working at the local beer distributor to pay his way through. After graduation, Doug applied his skills and work ethic to the business world. Through his efforts as CEO, Doug grew Cold Stone Creamery from a small local Tempe ice cream parlor with four stores into a major international chain with 1,400 franchises in 31 countries. (Admirable. However as we have learned the ability to run a successful business does not translate into success at working in politics. ) Still headquartered in Arizona, this international business provides jobs and revenue for the state. Since being elected State Treasurer, Doug has fought to close financial loopholes, fix the state’s books, and stop a $1 billion annual tax increase. 

Doug recently shared his vision with me, which he will carry with him each day as Arizona’s governor: “I’m a believer in private enterprise, the dignity of work, limited government and the possibilities of freedom. I am a forthright defender of the right to bear arms – which is guaranteed not only by the US Constitution, but by the Constitution of Arizona. I am a believer in the rights of the unborn and the goodness of every life, and I have promised that as governor I will champion those values.” Right on!  (In other words Ducey is a cookie cutter Tea Party conservative. How could Palin NOT endorse him?)

Cold Stone Creamery was always a favorite stop for my family when traveling during the ’08 campaign. Their creative combinations always hit the spot, and I believe Doug has the right combination to serve Arizona with his proven private sector skills and his record of conservative leadership. That’s why I’m proud to join Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and many other conservatives in endorsing Doug Ducey for Arizona governor.

This is a big week for Ducey as he also just received the endorse of racist Maricopa Country Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

And as the post mentions he has also picked up the endorsements of Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, not to mention Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.

So he clearly has the Teabagger vote all wrapped up.

(By the way Jan Brewer has endorsed Scott Smith, one of Ducey's opponents. Awkward!)

Unlike many of Palin's picks Ducey is not running dead last, though he is running neck in neck with Go-Daddy exec Christine Jones, who had this to say about her Tea Party opponent, after he referred to her as a "line employee at Go-Daddy, with no leadership experience." :

“Being a condescending, misogynistic jerk is not the way to win an election,” Jones told the Arizona Capitol Times. “I have heard from a lot of professional women that, if they had any doubt in their mind about voting for me before they head that line, they’re absolutely voting for me now, because they’ve worked with ‘that guy’ in their career.”

Seriously is it even possible for Palin to endorse a candidate who is NOT a misogynistic jerk? (You know unless they have lady parts of course.)

So here we go again. Let's see if the Palin curse still retains its sting, shall we?
