MNGOP Chair says Palin’s endorsement could play two ways
Minnesota Republican Party Chairman Tony Sutton said today that delegates could have a mixed reaction to Sarah Palin's endorsement of Tom Emmer.
Here's what Sutton said when told of the news:
"When people from outside of the state have gotten involved, it's tended not to be a positive thing because most people regard it as a grassroots or Minnesota decision not a top down sort of a thing. But in this case, Sarah Palin came in and had 10,000 people just one room over a couple of weeks ago. It's hard to say."
Palin's backing works well into Emmer's recent theme that he has the "momentum" in the campaign. It will be interesting to see how Marty Seifert's campaign reacts to it.
