Palin & Gingrich Do Robocalls For Bondi

Sarah Palin did a robocall asking Florida Republicans to vote for Pam Bondi. Palin recently endorsed Bondi. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich did a robocall for Bondi Holly Benson. It is obvious the GOP establishment sees Bondi as a future star. The GOP establish also is telegraphing that they see Jeff Kottkamp and Holly Benson having no chance of beating Dan Gelber in the general election.

What I find amusing about all the Republican love aimed at Bondi is that she was a registered Democrat from 1984 until 2000. Bondi was a Democrat when she worked for the controversial Harry Lee Coe III. Bondi switch parties two weeks after Coe's death when it because obvious Republican Mark Ober would be her new boss. Republicans have attacked Arlen Specter, Lincoln Chafee and Charlie Crist for being RINOs. Bondi is only a Republican because she wanted to maintain her employment in the State Attorney's office. The Republican establishment put ideological purity aside when it comes to winning elections. Democrats are not any different with Obama campaign people working on the Charlie Crist campaign.

Correction: Gingrich endorsed and did a robocall for Holly Benson.

  1. FWIW: Gingrich has endorsed and did robocalls for Holly Benson -- not Pam Bondi.
