Today Sarah Palin visited Nebraska in a desperate attempt to save an electoral vote from the congressional district around Omaha. Politico’s Ben Smith points out Palin’s odd excuse for visiting Nebraska.

It is worth noting, however, what Palin actually said in her explanation:

“The pundits today on TV—one of them was saying, check out the vice president’s schedule, check out where she’s going — she’s going to Nebraska,” Palin said.

Someone should tell her that she is a candidate. She is not yet vice president. The American people get to vote first.
