Well, the three-ring circus Trump campaign added another act today. Step right up ladies and gents…its Showtime!!

“I’m proud to endorse Donald J. Trump for president,” Ms. Palin said in a statement provided by his campaign.

That’s right. The grand announcement that Trump has been teasing the media about has hit the bandwidth with a big splash.

And of course, The Donald couldn’t be more thrilled!

“I am greatly honored to receive Sarah’s endorsement,” Mr. Trump said in a statement trumpeting Mrs. Palin’s decision. “She is a friend, and a high-quality person whom I have great respect for. I am proud to have her support.”

Yes, she has a name that attracts a variety of fundraisers, and yes she supposedly still has cachet among tea party activists and evangelicals.

However, an endorsement DOES NOT a victory make.
