Palin video ad warns of ‘Mama Grizzlies’ hitting Washington soon

Washington, July 9 (ANI): Former Alaska Governor and Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has sent out a YouTube video warning to the corridors of power in Washington that her “Mama Grizzlies” are going to hit town sooner than later.
According to ABC, Palin coined the term “mama grizzly” for the female Republican candidates that she has endorsed.
But the new ad, sent out through her political action committee, focuses less on the candidates, more on female voters, and could pass of as a 2012 campaign ad for Palin herself.
“This year will be remembered as a year common-sense conservative women get things done for our country,” Palin says at the start of the ad, as an image of her at the podium emerges, to the background of applause.
Throughout the ad, the former GOP vice presidential candidate is shown working the rope line, meeting and greeting women of various ages and stumping for 2010 candidates.
In the background, Palin says U.S. women are concerned about their children’s futures and unhappy with the country’s “fundamental transformation.”
“It seems like it’s kind of a mom awakening in the last year and a half, where women are rising up and saying, ‘No, we’ve had enough already,’ because moms kind of just know when something’s wrong,” Palin says in the 1-minute, 50-second video.
“There in Alaska, I always think of the mama grizzly bears that rise up on their hind legs when somebody’s coming to attack their cubs, to do something adverse toward their cubs,” she adds.
She further says: “You thought pitbulls were tough, you don’t want to mess with the mama grizzlies.”
The mother of five has been mum on her political ambitions, but she is undoubtedly inclined not to shun the spotlight.
Her second book is slated for release in the fall, she is working on a docu-drama on her home state of Alaska, and frequently makes appearances on Fox News as a commentator.
Palin’s endorsements and her PAC’s work also help keep her in the spotlight, and the ad will only boost her visibility in the mainstream, analysts say. (ANI)
