CRAIG, Colo.—In response to criticism from an opponent, former Lt. Gov. Jane Norton says she believes Sarah Palin was not aware her Colorado visit would coincide with the state Republican primary assemblies.
Ken Buck said Monday on the “Cari and Rob” show on KRAI-AM that the former Alaska governor’s visit Saturday could draw attention away from the assemblies, which Norton has declined to attend. Norton and Buck are seeking the GOP nomination for Senate.
Norton said Tuesday on the show she doesn’t assume Palin will endorse her and is not reaching out to Palin, but would welcome her endorsement.
Palin mentioned the candidate in a speech in Washington last week, saying Norton is part of a “stampede of pink elephants” who could get things done.
