Sarah Palin has now officially endorsed Christine O'Donnell as the Republican Senate candidate in Delaware.

UPDATED:

Add Delaware Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell to Sarah Palin's growing list of "mama grizzlies."

The former Alaska Governor called in to Sean Hannity's radio program Thursday to officially give her endorsement to the candidacy of the Tea Party-backed O'Donnell, who is fighting a primary battle against Rep. Mike Castle.

"Let me go ahead and endorse Christine O'Donnell because, Sean, she's the conservative in the race," Palin said. "She is against Obama's cap-and-tax scheme, she is against Obamacare, she is for the free market principles that need to get plugged in to put our economy back on the right track."

Sean Hannity tweeted after his talk with Palin:

Thanks @SarahPalinUSA for the last minute call in. Endorsement of Christine O'Donnell was an exclusive. Said she hadn't told Christine yet.

O'Donnell expressed her appreciation for Palin's support via Twitter moments later:

@SarahPalinUSA's endorsement brings an infusion of fresh energy. Help storm the Castle! http://www.tinyurl.com/stormcastle #DESEN #teaparty

On Wednesday, Palin retweeted a supportive message from another O'Donnell supporter, but the Delaware Senate candidate said that she interpreted it more of a "You go, girl," than an official endorsement.

Palin explained her decision to wade into the primary on a separate Facebook post Thursday:

The wave of positive change can really sweep across our land with the election of Constitutional Conservatives who promise to use common sense and rein in the federal government spending! Please support Christine O’Donnell in Delaware. She will support efforts for America’s energy security, patient-centered health care reform, cutting government waste, and letting the private sector thrive and prosper! We can’t afford “more of the same” in Washington. Christine will help usher in the real change we need to get America on the right track. Please visit her website at www.christine2010.com and follow her on Facebook and Twitter.

O'Donnell is currently trailing Castle among Republican voters.

One bible thumping moron endorsing another. How American. These two woman should be sent to Iran to live. I'm sure those fools who call themselves Ayatollahs could use them for experiments or something.

Way to go Ar.ia.nn.a --- keep these resident, over-the-cliffers panties in a twist by continually focusing them on 'Sarah', while US voters restore Republicans back to control of the House & quite possibly the Senate. That way on Nov. 3rd you'll have a huge new watering hole blogsi.te of poor Proggies wailing & gnashing their teeth, all while you quietly laugh all the way to the bank!! CHA-CHING!!!!... Quite the saavy little businesswomen you are! ;0)

Sarah Palin's career would be over in half an hour in a jumble of word salad gibberish were she ever to appear on "Meet the Press", "Face the Nation" or "This Week."

She also doesn't have enough palms and Sharpies to appear in that press conference she's never had since her 2008 nomination.

"Fox News: Sarah Palin is an idiot "

The comment from SuperRyan regarding Palin's children is so right on!
Those children are the epitomy of neglect, by a woman who only cares for herself.
Mama Grizzlies do better than she does.
The "indentured servant" little child is the one who was holding the new baby, and licked her hand to slick down his hair. That poor child knows no better.
Why isn't PALIN proud to show her family and why is Todd always silent?

My cousin let me know that Rush endorsed O'Donnell this morning.

Caption for Sarah's picture. "These two weapons in an unmarried woman's hands are a danger to herself, but she can stick them anywhere on her husband. If thy fingers offend thee, cut them off."

Isn't it disturbing that Twitter is how faux politicians make faux statements about faux issues. Quit thumb f'ing yourselves to extinction, you dimtwits!

Constitutional conservatives... common sense... reign in spendin'???
LMAO
Right Palin!! Another winner for you. O'Donnell who didn't pay back student loans, defaulted on her mortgage, does not work for a living, but lives off "campaign contributions" and lies on her resume amongst other things she lies about.
True conservative standards, once again.

But what is strange is that people don't seem to care. They are voting for her anyway.

Government spending to Alaska should stop immediately. Let the bastards freeze in the dark.
