Palin bucks tea party, endorses Orrin Hatch

Sarah Palin announced her support on Fox News last night for Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch's reelection effort.

"I want him to win. I join Sean Hannity and Mark Levin and other conservatives, who would like to see Mr. Balanced Budget return to Washington.

.... He wants to apply that common-sense, economic principle of balanced budget, fiscal responsibility, and I want to see him reelected."

Hatch is battling challenger, Dan Liljenquist, in the GOP primary, and even though most expect Hatch to win, there's still the spectre of Dick Lugar's loss in Indiana hanging over him and the opposition of many tea partiers.
