Can Palin magic work for McGlowan in Mississippi?
Sarah Palin is continuing her streak of endorsing fiery Tea Party-oriented libertarian-conservative women in GOP primaries.
Earlier today she tweated last minute:
Mississippi-please vote!My family&I are rooting for Angela McGlowan;race may go to a run-off election,but hopefully Angela wraps it up today...
Rooting for you Angela! Mississippi will be well served when you win! – Sarah Palin
McGlowan is locked in a tough 3-way battle in the GOP primary for MS Congressional District 1.
McGlowan is best known as a Fox News contributor. But she is also the author of "Bamboozled." Although a social conservative in many areas, staunchly pro-life, and a stalwart Christian Conservative, McGlowan also has a business background with Mississippi's Casino Gambling industry.
The winner of the race will go on to face endangered Democrat incumbent Rep. Travis Childers.
UPDATE!
McGlowan lost, finishing in 3rd place with 16% of the vote.
