Sarah Palin Releases New Ad Promising Continued Political Work

Says she'll remain heavily involved in selecting GOP candidates

Sarah Palin isn't wasting any time re-entering the national political spotlight as Republicans gear up for the 2014 midterm elections.

The former Alaska governor and vice-presidential candidate released a fiery ad Wednesday, making it clear she intends to be involved in the selection of Republican and Tea Party candidates in Congressional and Senate contests across the country.

The two-minute ad, titled "Loaded for Bear," emphasizes Palin's recent appearance at this month's CPAC, an annual gathering of conservative activists, as well as her connection to freshman Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), a Tea Party favorite.
