American Thinker proves why Sarah Palin is the most powerful female politician
The Houston Examiner ^ | December 27, 2014 | Mark Whittington

Posted on 12/27/2014 8:11:26 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

The end of 2014 marks, as the ends of all years do, the creation of “best of” and “worst of” awards. It was in that spirit that the American Thinking awarded former Alaska governor, former vice presidential candidate, and most powerful female politician on the planet, the “American Achiever of 2014” award in a piece on Saturday. As she contemplates her political future, such as a possible run for the presidency, Palin can indeed look back on 2014 as a year in which much was achieved.

When one describes Palin as the most powerful female politician on the planet, one inevitably gets eye rolls and suggestions that one regard one Hillary Clinton, the once and future inevitable president of the United States. The American Thinker piece has an answer to that objection. It is based on cold metrics.

“Governor Palin endorses 22 candidates for various offices during the midterms finals including senators, governors, lt. governors, congressmen, and attorney's general. Of those so endorsed an incredible 20 were elected -- contrasted with, for example, Hillary Clinton's record of 8 wins out 24 endorsed candidates.”(continued)

Sarah is a fantastic woman and a great portion of the glue that is holding what is left of the GOP together.

Still the only pol who has demonstrated the willingness to keep all election promises, including jailing the crooks who preceded her.

That's the only metric worth considering, IMHO.

Odd how that didn't make the news, even "FAUX" news.
Must be a secret I guess.

She is such a beauty.
Her perspectives, viewpoints, and her persona.

Simple:
She puts country above self. She is more valuable to the cause of freedom as a ‘kingmaker’ wielding influence for worthy candidates than she is as a candidate herself; and like all true patriots she, being smart enough to realize this, is doing her duty and strengthening true conservatism rather than fulfilling her own ego.

Interesting how we've had a number of Sarah Palin stories over the last few days.

Normal end-of-the-year stuff or...smoke?

Beautiful and brilliant.

Libs can't handle that truth.

One of my Bunko buddies served that, earlier this year...but it was too sweet for this bordeaux fan :)

(I do like a martini in the summertime, though!)
