MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is pushing Wisconsin voters to support Governor Scott Walker and Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch in their recall elections.

Palin posted lengthy defenses of both Republican office holders to her Facebook page, especially Kleefisch. Palin says the lieutenant governor is even being thrown under the GOP establishment’s bus because she beat the establishment candidate.

Palin called Kleefisch a “Mama Grizzly” and a Tea Party favorite.

Kleefisch beat former state Representative Brett Davis in the 2010 Republican primary for lieutenant governor.
