Ted Cruz is starting to horn in on GOP frontrunner Donald Trump's media monopoly. But just as Cruz was cresting, Trump found a new way to get the press back to wall-to-wall coverage of his campaign.
In this week's installment of The Edge, a one-of-a-kind measurement of media mentions from the New Analytics Company, Cruz rocketed into second place with by far the biggest gains since last week.
But lest he lose his stranglehold on political coverage, Trump rolled out the one endorsement guaranteed to put the mainstream press into a frenzy: former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Despite the overwhelmingly negative tone of the coverage, as is often the case with Trump, the sheer volume drowned out other voices.

Cruz has to be fuming....despite what he said that appeared nice, nice.
I think he’s actually better off without it. For every voter she’ll get Trump, he’ll lose two.
Ted “surges,” he “rockets”-—yet never gets past second. Most amazing thing.
I think this analysis is correct.... Palin bout now might be baggage. with her son and her daughter, and her inability to be objective holding them both accountable.
I think she a plus in the primaries and gets discarded by convention time.
Sarah Palins speeches have become incoherent. She’s done.
It will help Trump in a different way....it eliminates Cruz from a Palin endorsement....and you can bet your booties that he was expecting it. Cruz must be fuming...despite his nice, nice.
..The Edge: Cruz booms, but Palin gets Trump mega media
And Cruz never gets past second place...
Is that boom a loud implosion? Ted for VP. Stranger things have happened. Remember voodoo economics?

If she had endorsed Cruz, his campaign would be touting her choice of a true conservative candidate.
People are wasting their time and money backing Cruz or ignorant that people in DC have really scary power.
It probably cost Burr his seat to Brannon.
If Cruz wasn't there they would take Trump out at the knees.
Trump lucked out they just want Cruz gone.

Ted’s Waterloo is right around the corner.
Carter will wipe the floor with Reagan. Dewey Defeats Truman.
Yes, he is better off without her endorsement because she is a phony and a sellout.
I agree....am very glad she did not stand with Cruz.
Bottom line is both Cruz and Trump are outsiders like Reagan was. What we need is someone to nuke Washington. IMHO Trump is the better man for the job. Don’t get me wrong as I like Ted and will support him if he is the nominee.
I just remember her being quite that screechy!
