Dan Bongino, the Republican candidate for Senate from Severna Park, got some support from Alaska on Monday when former Gov. Sarah Palin endorsed him.
"Though political pundits often dismiss conservative candidates running in deep blue states, I don't believe in ignoring good candidates simply because they're fighting uphill battles against the odds," Palin said in a press release. "In fact, I find such candidates incredibly brave and especially worthy of encouragement."
The odds of Bongino defeating incumbent Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) this November are slim. Real Clear Politics and Roll Call both mark Maryland's Senate race in their safely Democratic columns, and Cardin has outraised the former secret service agent by more than 10 to one when it comes to contributions, according to Open Secrets.
Patch reported in July that Bongino is hoping an will help him take on the Cardin machine.
Palin said, "We also owe it to voters in every state—even the deep blue ones—to support good candidates for office so that they have a genuine choice in November. That is why I'm honored to announce my support for Dan Bongino in his Senate race in the 'deep blue state' of Maryland."
In fact, Maryland has not sent a Republican to the U.S. Senate in 25 years.
Bongino said in a press release that he sought the support of the former vice presidential candidate and is honored to receive it.
"I am a political outsider, and I have constructed my campaign around the idea that public office is a sacred trust placed in our elected officials by the citizenry," Bongino said. "That sacred trust has been broken, and I am making an ironclad promise to the citizens of Maryland to restore it."
Now, the question is: Will Palin make an appearance in Maryland before the election?

You will only get charged if you let the bad guy out of the house, and then shoot them. Shooting them in the house is probably ok...lol
I said, what you said was equivalent to the same statement made by a person of color... Like I said, you don't understand what you read. Oh never mind, you racist little thing...
8:14 pm on Friday, August 24, 2012 Laura, you are an idiot. Richard ("DICK"), I will say this to you: YOU brought up the "RACE" card first. YOU mentioned that "a person of color" (YOU ARE BLACK OBVIOUSLY) would say only WHITE people are mass murderers. You know WHY the BLACK guy at Morgan State College ate his roommate? Because someone told him (the BLACK guy) he had NO HEART and only HALF A BRAIN. SO, HE ATE THEM BOTH! And, to think--he was found not to have any drugs in his system. Unbelievable. You criticize "RACIAL" profiling. However, it is necessary at times, you fool to capture a criminal--which, by the way, 90 percent of the prisons are filled with BLACK people. BLACK people are the only ones who cry to a CIVIL RIGHTS group (NAACP--whereby they should change their name--since they are no longer called, "Colored People" but want to be called "African-Americans"--even though most, except Obama, were not born in AFRICA). No other group of people--white, hispanic, indian, or asian people have a "civil rights group." Only BLACK people cry out "discrimination," which is WHY they get all of the government benefits. One man slept all day at his desk at work (BLACK). He got the NAACP involved because he got demoted. Guess what?? Not only did he get his job back, but he got a PROMOTION. That would not happen to ANY OTHER RACE! It makes me SICK. Call me a "racist." But, the fact is that more BLACKS HATE WHITE people and always have.
And one more thing. If God is all powerful, sees everything, chooses when to let all people die? Why does he need your help? Why don't you just live your lift to the best example that YOU can, and let him sort out the rest... After all this world is not the final reward. Faith alone won't get you into heaven, it's also your acts... Please read the ENTIRE bible. I'm not against all guns, just some of them... Pretty reasonable if you ask me... I served in the US Navy, I went to sea on ballistic missile submarines, (1980-1990) and stood guard so that you have the freedom to be the racist, bigoted, dumbass that you clearly show you are. What did YOU do?
You have lost every debate that you have participated in from the comfort of your crate and I'm ok with that...
First~ the opportunity to engage in some semblance of meaningful conversationto attempt to understand and hopefully contribute to potential solutions to the many problems that our society and country endure. Second~ To actively seek out the rot that seems to hinder the first, if you are a part of the rot....I'll let you know it....it's all a part of an existing condition survey being conducted on the Patch blogs....actually very interesting stuff from my park bench perspective... poo away...have a great day!
